Tallies seven total tackles Week 15

ANALYSIS
Tavai logged 35 snaps on defense and another 23 on special teams for New England on Sunday. He has recorded 13 total stops over his past two contests but is playing only about half of the team's defensive snaps, taking him off the radar in most IDP leagues.

Reportedly losing significant weight in the offseason, Tavai is in great shape as the Lions' new coaching staff transitions the defense to a 3-4 alignment in the post-Jarrad Davis era. If this means Tavai might finally have the speed to be useful on passing downs, a three-down role could be in the cards for the Hawaii product, which would be a boon for his IDP profile.
