Bradley Roby | 7 Tackles, 1 FF, 1 Pass Defended

This is the first time we are seeing Bradley Roby make this list, but the veteran corner showed he can still play on Sunday against the Falcons. He had seven tackles, one forced fumble and a pass defended in the contest.

Roby spent his first five NFL seasons in Denver with the Broncos and just recently made the move to the Houston Texans prior to this season.

The sixth year player seems to be adjusting well to the new city as he already has recorded 23 tackles on the season, just under half of the tackles that he made in 2018. Barring injury, Roby should have a chance to beat his career high in tackles he set in his rookie season with 67.

It will be interesting to see how he defends Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, two very talented receivers for Tampa Bay in Week 6.
