Highest Week 3 defensive grade for DI Nnamdi Madubuike 90.1* A'Shawn Robinson 88.2 DaVon Hamilton 87. Via @PFF on X

What happened: Nnamdi Madubuike returned to the interior rotation after missing the Sept. 13 opener. A'shawn Robinson sits second among Week 3 interior defenders at 88.2, with Davon Hamilton third at 87.7. Maason Smith (87.2) and Brandon Dorlus (86.3) close the top five.

Why it matters: Top interior grades track disruption that frees edge rushers and tightens run fits. Holding that form through October would stabilize the rotation after the opening-week absence.

By the numbers: Madubuike 90.1; Robinson 88.2; Hamilton 87.7; Smith 87.2; Dorlus 86.3 — top five Week 3 interior-defender grades.

What to watch: Watch whether the Week 4 grading holds the same top order.
