What happened: Cashman paced all linebackers with three pass breakups in Week 7 to claim the top defensive spot. Burrow paired downfield passing with top offensive efficiency marks across the Week 7 regular-season schedule.

Why it matters: Midseason grading honors reflect sustained impact as the 2026 NFL regular season approaches Week 8. Cashman's three-down coverage range at linebacker and Burrow's vertical accuracy anchor their respective units.

By the numbers: Burrow recorded a 9.0-yard average depth of target in Week 7, ranking fifth among quarterbacks on the slate.

What to watch: Both players return to action as the 2026 NFL regular season moves into Week 8.
