As Week 14 approaches, two names stand above the rest: Cooper DeJean and Jamel Dean. DeJean preserves his top spot with another outstanding performance, while Dean’s immediate impact upon returning from injury underscores his place among the league’s elite.

Head coach Todd Bowles is standing firm in his support of Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Jamel Dean, even after Dean’s challenging performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a rough night, Bowles points to Dean’s Super Bowl credentials as evidence of his ongoing faith in the cornerback’s ability.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be willing to trade cornerback Jamel Dean, and an analyst believes the San Francisco 49ers should seize the opportunity to strengthen their secondary.
