We've been proved correct so far, as he has been able to rack up some big tackling numbers now that he's focusing on linebacker. He picked up 17 stops last week with three for loss in a tightly-contested defensive struggle.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["44975"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"We wouldn't normally include a player ranked this high, but we've gotten some pushback in the past for ranking Concepcion in the top 20 without much on-field success.

Each week, we highlight two types of top players: the players that haven't really been on our radar but break out and the ranked players that had performances to move the needle on our evaluations. With a few more big games, these players should see themselves move up at our next rankings update.
