IDP Waiver Wire: Week 12

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 12

By Bob Miller

 

Week 11 is now in the past, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for Week 12 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

Notable IDP injuries to monitor:

BAL: Kyle Hamilton (knee)

HOU: Derek Stingley (hamstring)

LAR: A’Shawn Robinson (knee)

DAL: Micah Parsons (knee)

DET: Jeff Okudah (concussion)

LAC: Kenneth Murray (neck)

CHI: Kyler Gordon (concussion)

 

 

 

Chris Jones: DT, Kansas City Chiefs

Remember this guy? Chris Jones was once one of the top defensive lineman in all IDP formats. He may not be as dominant as he once was, but he can still be quite useful in fantasy leagues. Jones has been on a roll lately. In fact, over the last two games he has scored 32.50 fantasy points by posting a total of 7 tackles, including 6 solo, 3.5 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, and even six quarterback hits. He's been dropped in quite a few IDP leagues this year from what I’ve seen. If he's available in your league, pick him up. He could be very useful down the stretch.

 

Leonard Floyd: DE/LB, Los Angeles Rams

Leonard Floyd has been in the zone since the Rams Week 7 bye. Over his last four games he has a total of 20 tackles, including 10 solo, five sacks, and five tackles for loss. Depending on your league format, he may only be eligible at linebacker. If you are in a league that has dual eligibility, he would be more valuable. No matter your league format, Leonard Floyd's production is trending in the right direction.  I'm afraid he may not be available this time next week, so keep that in mind when putting in those waiver claims.

 

Sam Williams: DE, Dallas Cowboys

There are a lot of big names on that Dallas Cowboys defense. While Sam Williams may not be one of them, he has been very productive lately. Over his last three contests he has posted a total of 8 tackles, including six solo, 3 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, and a fumble recovery. I wouldn't call him a must-add, but with there being few productive defensive lineman in IDP leagues, he is certainly a player worth monitoring.

 

Other Defensive Lineman to consider: Vita Vea (TB), Leonard Floyd (LAR), Justin Houston (BAL)

 

 

Willie Gay: LB, Kansas City Chiefs

Willie Gay has been one of the hottest linebackers and IDP leagues lately. In the last two games he's put up over 34.00 fantasy points by posting a stat line of 19 total tackles, including 13 solo, two sacks, three tackles for loss, and one pass defended. I wouldn't drop anyone valuable to grab Willie Gay, however picking him up somehow and playing the hot hand may not be a bad idea.

 

Kaden Elliss: LB, New Orleans Saints

Another player that's been on fire lately is Saints’ linebacker Kaden Elliss. Over his last three contests he has 23 total tackles, including 13 solo, 3.5 sacks, two tackles for loss, and a pass defended. That's 40.00 fantasy points over those last three games. You can't get much better than that. I'm skeptical about dropping a valuable IDP asset to grab Elliss, so I may wait another week to see how he produces in week 12. I would advise you to do the same.

 

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah: LB, Cleveland Browns

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah Has been dropped in several IDP leagues due to missing his last two games because of injury. He returned in week 11 and picked up right where he left off. Against the Buffalo Bills he had 12 total tackles, including seven solo, and a tackle for loss. that was good for a nice little 12.50 fantasy day. This is not a player I'm rushing to the waiver wire to grab by any means, but still a player worth keeping an eye on. He could be a nice stash for next season if the Cleveland Browns do not retain Deion Jones.

 

Other Linebackers to consider: Quay Walker (GB), Cole Holcomb (WAS), Malcolm Rodriguez (DET)

 

 

Jeremy Chinn: S, Carolina Panthers

Jeremy Chinn is a player that should not be available on the waiver wire. However, due to not playing since week 4 because of injury, he has been dropped in various IDP leagues. In week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens, Chinn had 10 total tackles, including seven solo. If he has been dropped in any of your IDP leagues, immediately scoop him up. He is an asset, especially in IDP dynasty leagues. He would be a priority pick up for me.

 

Kerby Joseph: S, Detroit Lions

I mentioned Kerby Joseph in my week 10 waiver wire article. He's a 21 year old rookie that is very intriguing to me, especially dynasty formats.. In every game he started this year he has been very productive. Week 12 was no different. Against the New York Giants, Joseph had 3 total tackles, including three solo, 1 pass defended, and an interception. If your IDP league is a dynasty, I would find a way to get Kerby Joseph on your roster. 

 

Jordan Whitehead: S, New York Jets

Jordan Whitehead has put together very good performances in back-to-back games. In those two games he has a total of 10 tackles, including nine solo, two tackles for loss, and two passes defended. That's good for a total of 22.50 fantasy points over those last two contests. If you have injuries or need to plug a hole during a bye week, he could be a hot hand that you can play right now. Other than that, I'm not dropping a good defensive back to grab him. He's just a guy that's been on a roll lately that could help you over the next couple of weeks.

 

Other Defensive Backs to consider: Marlon Humphrey (BAL), Rasul Douglas (GB), Damar Hamlin (BUF)

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 11

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 11

By Bob Miller

 

Week 10 is now in the past, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for Week 11 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

Notable IDP injuries:

TEN: Caleb Farley (back) placed on IR

DET: DeShon Elliott (concussion)

BUF: Tremaine Edmunds (groin)

MIN: Za'Darius Smith (knee contusion)

IND: Kwity Paye (ankle)

CAR: Donte Jackson (Achilles/IR)

MIA: Emmanuel Ogbah (elbow/IR)

 

 

Jerry Hughes: DE, Houston Texans

“Old Man” Hughes just keeps getting it done. This past week against the New York Giants, he had 4 tackles, including a sack and two tackles for loss. That was good enough for a 14.00 point fantasy day. He is averaging 14.83 fantasy points over his last three games. As thin as Defensive Line gets in IDP leagues, Hughes is absolutely worth a pickup. He should be a solid contributor the remainder of the season.

 

Grover Stewart: DT, Indianapolis Colts

Last week I wrote about Grover Stewart, saying he was not a must add. Well, things have now changed. Stuart had another solid performance in week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He put up 13.50 fantasy points by piling up 4 tackles, including three solo, one sack, and two tackles-for-loss. Averaging 11.20 fantasy points over his last five games, he should be added in most formats.

 

Justin Houston: DE/LB, Baltimore Ravens

Now listen, there's a good possibility that Justin Houston is not available in your IDP League. If you've listened to me, he shouldn't be lol. However, If he is available, he would be my number one IDP pick-up this week. He's tied for third in the NFL in sacks (8.5) and has only played five games this season. He missed four games due to injury. Baltimore is coming off a bye week, so Houston could be available in some IDP leagues. Like I said before, if he is available in your league for some crazy reason, pick him up immediately.

 

Last Week’s DL Targets (Week 10 Fantasy Points): Vita Vea (0.00), Denico Autry (1.50), Grover Stewart (13.50)

 

 

Jack Sanborn: LB, Chicago Bears

I almost wrote about Sanborn last week. He was on my short list for linebacker pick-ups in week 10. I saw him being the main beneficiary to the departure of Roquan Smith. It seems as if I was correct. This past week against the Detroit Lions, he had 12 tackles, Including nine solo, two sacks, and two tackles-for-loss. That was a huge 24.50 fantasy point day. Since taking over for Roquan Smith in Week 9, Sanborn is averaging 9.5 tackles and a sack per game. He looks like a strong IDP option moving forward. 

 

Sione Takitaki: LB, Cleveland Browns

Sione Takitaki is another player that I wrote about last, yet he is still widely available. After putting up 18.50 fantasy points in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, he followed that up with another strong performance. In Week 10, against the Miami Dolphins, he had 10 total tackles, including eight solo, and a tackle for loss. That was good enough to net him another 12.00 fantasy points. Takitaki is an IDP player on the rise. His best football could still be ahead of him, making him a major IDP asset moving forward.

 

Alex Highsmith: LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

There are thousands and thousands of fans and fantasy players that are happy with the return of TJ Watt. None probably more than Alex Highsmith himself. When TJ watt is on the field, Highsmith is an absolute IDP stud. This past Sunday was no different against the New Orleans Saints. Highsmith had an awesome day racking up 5 tackles, including three solo, two sacks, a tackle for loss, and a forced fumble. That was a nice little 17.00 point fantasy day.  depending on your league settings, Highsmith may only be eligible as a  defensive end or linebacker. To me it really doesn't matter.  As long as TJ Watt is on the field, Highsmith is an IDP player that needs to be owned across the board.

 

Last Week’s LB Targets (Week 10 Fantasy Points): Sione Takitaki (12.00), Rashaan Evans (14.00), Dru Tranquill (11.00)

 

 

Jeff Okudah: CB, Detroit Lions

There's not many defensive backs that are putting up more fantasy points than Jeff Okudah is right now.  Okudah is averaging 11.37 fantasy points Over his last four games. I wouldn't call him a must-add by any means, but you should take notice with what he's doing over this past month. Keep him on your radar, and if he has another strong performance in Week 11, snatch him up immediately. If you have the roster space, it may be wise to grab him now.

 

 

Damar Hamlin: DB, Buffalo Bills

Hamlin is an under-the-radar player that is widely available, but shouldn't be. He has been a tackling machine. He's had seven or more tackles in six straight games. He had 17.00 fantasy points in Week 9 and 12.50 points this past week. In fact, since taking over for Micah Hyde in Week 3, Hamlin is averaging almost 10.00 fantasy points per game. That's fantastic production for a defensive back in IDP leagues. If he's available in your league, which he should be, I would make him a priority pick-up.

 

Jayron Kearse: DB, Dallas Cowboys

Jayron Kearse has made my IDP waiver wire articles on multiple occasions. I’ve seen him getting picked up and dropped multiple times in IDP leagues everywhere. This past week against the Green Bay Packers wasn't his strongest performance, however he still had a nice 7.00 fantasy day. He had five tackles, including three solo, and a fumble recovery. He is averaging 11.50 fantasy points over his last three games. He should be a solid contributor for your fantasy team moving forward.

 

Last Week’s DB Targets (Week 10 Fantasy Points): Sauce Gardner (bye week), Damar Hamlin (12.50), Kerby Joseph (6.00)

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 10

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 10

By Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

 

Week 9 is now in the past, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for Week 10 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

 

Notable IDP injuries:
GB: Rashan Gary (ACL) out for remainder of season
BUF: Gregory Rousseau (ankle) week to week
LVR: Divine Deablo (arm) questionable for week 10

 

 

 

Vita Vea: DT, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Vita Vea has always been a force on the football field. Now he's becoming a force in fantasy leagues. This past week, against the Los Angeles Rams, he Had three total tackles, including two sacks. That was good for 17.00 fantasy points. Averaging over 12.80 fantasy points per game over his last three contests, Vita Vea could certainly help your fantasy team during these upcoming bye weeks.

 

 

Denico Autry: DE, Tennessee Titans

I have spoken at length about Titans defensive end Denico Autry for 2 years. Yet he continues to be available on Waiver Wires in multiple IDP leagues. On Sunday Night Football, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Autry had another solid performance. He had 17.00 fantasy points by posting 3 tackles, including two sacks against Patrick Mahomes. He has been very consistent all season. A defensive lineman that is averaging over 8.00 fantasy points per game being available just baffles me. He’s a priority pick-up.

 

 

Grover Stewart: DT, Indianapolis Colts

Who is Grover Stewart you ask? He's a defensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts that can help your fantasy team. In Week 9 against the New England Patriots, Stewart had 5 total tackles, including four solo, and two tackles for loss. That was good for 10.50 fantasy points. In fact, Stewart is averaging over 10.60 fantasy points over his last four contests. He's not a must-add by any means, but a player that is definitely worth monitoring. If you have a deep bench in your IDP League, it wouldn't hurt to stash Stewart just in case.

 

 

 

Sione Takitaki: LB, Cleveland Browns

Takitaki Had a season-high 13 tackles, including a sack and a forced fumble and Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. That was good for 18.50 fantasy points. There's a strong possibility that he is available in most IDP leagues due to the Cleveland Browns being on by this past week. The Browns defense is looking better each week, and Takitaki is a good reason why. He has 21 tackles over the last two weeks, and he’s averaging 11.50 fantasy points over his last three games. I don't see his fantasy production slowing down this season, so pick him up and take full advantage.

 

 

Rashaan Evans: LB, Atlanta Falcons

Rashaan Evans is a linebacker I have recommended picking up all season. If you look back at my previous IDP Waiver-Wire articles, you'll see that I recommended picking him up in Week 6 and again in Week 7. He has dominated all season, and he's just getting better. In Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Evans didn't disappoint. He had 12 total tackles, including six solo, one tackle for loss, and a pass defended. That was good for a 15.00 point fantasy day. Averaging 10.00 fantasy points per game, Evans has become an elite IDP asset this season. Yet he is still available in far too many IDP leagues. If he's available in your league, he should be your number one target.

 

 

Dru Tranquill: LB, Los Angeles Chargers

Tranquill had another great game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons piling up 10 tackles (8 solo), including a sack. That was good for 19.00 fantasy points. He is now up to 67 total tackles on the season, including three sacks as well. He is playing his best football by averaging 11.4 for fantasy points per game this season. If he is available on your waiver wire, you need to change that immediately by putting in that claim.

 

 

 

Sauce Gardner: CB, New York Jets

It's rare that a hyped up rookie looks better than advertised, but that's not the case with Sauce Gardner. He has exceeded that hype. He has been an absolute stud this season for the New York Jets and for fantasy teams. On Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, Gardner had an interception, 7 tackles, including three solo. That was a nice 11.00 fantasy day, which is fantastic for a cornerback. He is averaging 9.50 fantasy points over his last five contests. With the New York Jets being on bye this week, you may be able to hold off on picking up Sauce until next week. Nonetheless, he needs to be owned in most IDP formats.

 

 

Damar Hamlin: S, Buffalo Bills

Hamlin is an under-the-radar player that is widely available, but shouldn't be. He has been a tackling machine. In fact, he's had seven or more tackles in five straight games. Since taking over for Micah Hyde in Week 3, Hamlin is averaging over 9.40 fantasy points per game. That's phenomenal production for a defensive back in IDP leagues. If he's available in your league, which he should be, I would make him a priority pick-up.

 

 

Kerby Joseph: S, Detroit Lions

This 21 year old rookie is extremely intriguing. He has started five games this season, and has been very productive and all of them. On Sunday against The Green Bay Packers, Joseph had 10 tackles, three passes defended, and two interceptions before leaving due to concussion. If your IDP league is a dynasty by chance, Joseph would be a target for me. I like what Detroit is doing on defense. They have some really nice young players to build around. Kerby Joseph could be a very productive fantasy player for years to come.

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 9

By Bob Miller

 

Week 8 is behind us, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for week 9 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

Notable IDP injuries
BUF: Jordan Poyer (elbow) set to have an MRI on Monday
GB: De’Vondre Campbell (knee) left early and did not return
PHI: Jordan Davis (ankle) should miss multiple weeks
TB: Shaq Barrett (achilles) out for season
IND: Tyquan Lewis (knee) out for season

 

 

 

Justin Houston: DE/LB, Baltimore Ravens

Since returning from injury in Week 7, Houston has now had back-to-back double-digit fantasy games. In Week 7 he had 2 sacks and a tackle for loss. That was good for 15.00 fantasy points. I recommended picking him up last week, and this week he had another great game by posting 2 more sacks against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That was good for 16.00 fantasy points. Justin Houston is a consistent player that should not only be picked up immediately, but one that should be plugged into your starting lineup weekly. Consider yourself lucky if you’re able to snatch him up off of your waiver wire.

 

Uchenna Nwosu: DE/LB, Seattle Seahawks

Nwosu recorded 6 tackles, including 5 solo, and 2 sacks in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. He has already tied his career-high through just eight games this season. With 5 sacks so far, the edge rusher is proving to be a dependable IDP this season. He doesn't accumulate many tackles, making him more of a boom-or-bust edge rusher for fantasy purposes. He's not a must add, however he can certainly help in leagues that reward sacks aggressively.

 

Dre’Mont Jones: DE, Denver Broncos

Dre’Mont Jones is certainly on a roll lately. In Week 7 Jones put up 17.00 fantasy points with 4 tackles including 2 sacks. He followed up that performance this past Sunday morning by posting 7 tackles, including 5 solo, one sack, and 3 tackles for loss that was good enough for 19.00 fantasy points. Averaging 9.13 points per game this season, he could certainly help your fantasy team moving forward. If you have the bench space, it wouldn't hurt picking up Jones to help with the bye weeks ahead.

 

 

 

Malcolm Rodriguez: LB, Detroit Lions

For some reason, Malcolm Rodriguez remains on waiver-wires in a lot of leagues. This just baffles me. He has only had one game this season where he scored less than 8.00 fantasy points. In Sunday's slugfest with the Miami Dolphins, Rodriguez had 17.00 fantasy points by posting 7 tackles, including 5 solo, one sack, one tackle for loss, and a pass defended. He should be owned in all IDP Dynasty leagues. If, for some reason, he is available in your IDP League, you need to scoop him up immediately. His best years are in front of him.

 

Eric Kendricks: LB, Minnesota Vikings

Eric Kendricks isn't an elite IDP player, but one that could help for the upcoming bye weeks. Over his last three contests, he's averaging over 9.00 fantasy points per game. That's not sexy numbers by any means, however you would gladly take those points in any given week. There are several teams on a bye 4 week 9 including the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers. That is a lot of players that will have the week off. Kendricks can certainly help your team next week.

 

Divine Deablo: LB, Las Vegas Raiders

Due to a week 6 bye, Divine Deablo was dropped in a lot of IDP leagues. In week 7, against the Houston Texans, he had 11 total tackles, including six solo, and a tackle for loss. That was good for 11.50 fantasy points. He followed that up in Week 8 by putting up another 11.50 fantasy points. He has been solid this season averaging 8.50 fantasy points per game. Depending on the size of your league, Deablo could certainly help your team moving forward.

 

 

 

CJ Gardener-Johnson: S, Philadelphia Eagles

CJ Gardener-Johnson Is turning into an elite IDP asset. Averaging over 18.33 fantasy points in his last three contests, he has established himself as a top-tier playmaker in the NFL. In IDP leagues that reward turnovers handsomely, he is an absolute must-start across the board. He is not as available as others on this week's list, however if he is available in your league it would be wise to put in that claim or spend some of that FAAB.

 

Ryan Neal: S, Seattle Seahawks

Ryan Neal was one of my top recommendations last week, and he has done nothing to change that. He has seen 100% of the snaps in four straight games. Over his last three contests, he has 20 total tackles, including 18 solo, 1 interception , 1 sack, 3 tackles-for-loss, a forced fumble, and 5 passes defended. Averaging over 14.00 fantasy points in his last three games, he is looking more and more like a must-add in all IDP leagues.

 

Mike Edwards: S, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Edwards has had an up and down season so far. He was a top three defensive back in IDP leagues through the first five games. Week 6 and week 7 did not treat him well, so he was released in some IDP leagues out there. He had a strong performance last Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens by posting 11 tackles, including 8 solo. After starting the season at an elite level, he seems to be settling into what he is going to be moving forward. A defensive back that's averaging over 9.00 fantasy points per game should not be on waiver wires anywhere.

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 8

By Bob Miller

 

 

Week 7 is behind us, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for week 8 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

Notable IDP injuries
TB: Antoine Winfield (concussion) 'likely out' for TNF
LAC: JC Jackson (knee) out for season
DAL: Jourdan Lewis (lisfranc) out for season
MIA: Brandon Jones (knee) placed on IR

 

 

Justin Houston: DE/LB, Baltimore Ravens

Justin Houston returned from injury for week 7, and he did not disappoint. He had a nice 15.00 point fantasy day by putting up 2 sacks and a tackle for loss. He's a valuable piece to the Ravens defense, and always seems to be disrupting opposing quarterbacks' play. He's not a must-add, but can be extremely helpful for these upcoming bye weeks. If you need help on your defensive line, he's a player to go get.

 

Dorance Armstrong: DE, Dallas Cowboys

Micah Parsons may get all the hype on the Dallas defense, but Dorance Armstrong may be the most consistent player on their defensive line. Sunday, against the Detroit Lions, he did it again. he had an 11-point fantasy day by posting 3 total tackles, Including one sack and one tackle for loss. Averaging 8.86 fantasy points per game for the season (10.00 fantasy points per over his last three weeks), Armstrong is a safe bet to produce for your defensive line the remainder of the season.

 

Denico Autry: DE, Tennessee Titans

Denico Autry is a player that constantly flies under the radar. I loved him last year and the year before. He's a solid defensive lineman that always seems to help those in fantasy need. He has five sacks over his last four games, averaging over 12.00 fantasy points per game during that span. He is still widely unowned in IDP leagues which is surprising. He can be extremely useful for your defensive line during these upcoming bye weeks and quite possibly the remainder of the season.

 

 

De’Vondre Campbell: LB, Green Bay Packers

Wow, what a game Campbell had against the Washington Commanders. Campbell had 12 total tackles(7 solo), an interception, and a defensive touchdown. That was good for 30.00 fantasy points. On the season, Campbell has 61 tackles with 2 passes defended, and 1 interception. He plays almost every defensive snap as well. He should be owned in most IDP formats.

 

Patrick Queen: LB, Baltimore Ravens

Things are starting to come together for Patrick Queen this season. He had an incredible 22.00 fantasy point day against the Cleveland Browns by posting 11 total tackles (7 solo), 1 sack, and 3 tackles for loss. Averaging 11.36 fantasy points per game this season, it is mind-blowing that he is still available in as many IDP leagues as he is. That needs to be changed immediately. If he is available in your league, go get him now.

 

Divine Deablo: LB, Las Vegas Raiders

Due to a week 6 bye, Divine Deablo was dropped in a lot of IDP leagues. In week 7, against the Houston Texans, he had 11 total tackles, including six solo, and a tackle for loss. That was good for 11.50 fantasy points. He has been solid this season averaging 8.00 fantasy points per game. Depending on the size of your league, Deablo could certainly help your team moving forward.

 

 

Ryan Neal: S, Seattle Seahawks

After Jamal Adams was injured, Seattle has been trying to figure out what to do in their secondary. Ryan Neal Has seen 100% of the snaps in three straight games. Over his last two contests, he has 14 total tackles, including 12 solo, 1 interception , 1 sack, 1 tackle-for-loss, a forced fumble, and 5 passes defended. He is looking more and more like a must-add in IDP leagues that include defensive backs.

 

Jayron Kearse: S, Dallas Cowboys

Last year Jayron Kearse was an absolute stud in IDP leagues. After getting hurt in Week 1 this season, he was dropped in a bunch of leagues. He returned 3 weeks ago, and now looks to be at full strength. Sunday, against the Detroit Lions, Kearse had 8 total tackles, including 7 solo, and one tackle for loss That was good 10.50 fantasy points. He looks to be fully healthy now, and could be a solid contributor for your team moving forward.

 

Jaylinn Hawkins: S, Atlanta Falcons

Another player moving up the IDP ranks is Atlanta Falcons safety, Jaylinn Hawkins. Over his last three contests, Hawkins has 26 solo tackles, including 16 solo, 2 passes defended, and an interception returned for a touchdown. He has averaged over 12.00 fantasy points during that span. If you need help in your defensive secondary, Hawkins can certainly be the player that can get you the fantasy points you need.

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 7

by

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 7

By Bob Miller

 

Week 6 is behind us, and we see which defensive players are making an impact and which ones are not. I’m here to tell you which IDP players I'd target for week 7 moving forward. The players listed below are shown as “available” in at least 50% of IDP leagues.

 

These players fantasy points are according to the Dynasty Pros IDP scoring system below:

 

Notable IDP Injuries:
LB: Frankie Luvu (shoulder)
LB: Josey Jewell (knee)
LB: Logan Wilson (shoulder)
CB: Charvarius Ward (groin)
CB: A.J. Terrell (thigh)
DT: Christian Barmore (knee)
DT: Emmanuel Ogbah (back)
CB: Casey Hayward (shoulder)
CB: Donte Jackson (ankle)
LB: Cory Littleton (groin)
LB: Trey Flowers (foot)

 

 

Za’Darius Smith: DE/LB, Minnesota Vikings

Za’Darius Smith has been extremely consistent all season, averaging 10.33 fantasy points per game. He didn't disappoint us on Sunday by posting 4 total tackles (3 solo), including two sacks. Opposing teams will continue to focus on Danielle Hunter, giving Smith great opportunities. Keep in mind his position eligibility depends on your league settings. Even if he's only eligible at Linebacker, he should be picked up and plugged into your starting lineup immediately.

 

Montez Sweat: DE, Washington Commanders

Sweat recorded 6 tackles (3 solo) and one sack during Thursday's win over the Chicago Bears. He now has 3 sacks in his last two games. Sweat is playing about 70% of defensive snaps, and it looks like that's how it will be moving forward. The arrow is pointing up for the speedy pass rusher. With defensive line being thin in a lot of IDP leagues, he is worth an add in most formats.

 

Samson Ebukam: DE, San Francisco 49ers

Ebukam Totaled eight tackles five solo, including two tackles for loss and Sundays. The 27 year-old pass-rusher has 3.5 sacks on the season. He has been great stepping in for an injured Nick Bosa, and is a solid play for these upcoming bye weeks. He should be considered in most IDP leagues right now, especially if you're the Nick Bosa owner.

 

 

 

Alex Singleton: LB, Denver Broncos

Alex Singleton was dominant on Monday Night Football recording 21 total tackles (19 solo), two tackles for loss, and a pass defended. That was good for a whopping 27.00 fantasy points. Singleton's playing time has dramatically increased over the last two weeks with LB Josey Jewell missing due to a knee injury. Singleton looks like a must-start in IDP leagues as long as Jewell is out. Keep in mind that Singleton’s production will decrease drastically once Josey Jewell returns from injury, so take advantage while you can.

 

Rashaan Evans: LB, Atlanta Falcons

Why Rashaan Evans remains available on waiver wires is baffling. He recorded 12 tackles (7 solo), a forced fumble, and a pass defended on Sunday against the 49ers. That was good for 12.50 fantasy points. He is the starting inside linebacker for a team with a terrible offense, meaning he spends a lot of time on the field. He is turning out to be a high tackle IDP player. He is absolutely worth a look if available in your league.

 

Deion Jones: LB: Cleveland Browns

Any IDP player knows that Deion Jones is a tackle monster when he’s on the field. Great thing is.. he is eligible to return this week against the Baltimore Ravens. A couple of weeks ago I recommended picking up Jones, because I thought his time with Atlanta looked like it was up. I wasn’t sure where he’d be playing, but I did see him being moved. Cleveland is a good spot for him. He is an immediate IDP asset, and this may be the last opportunity to grab him. Low risk, high reward.

 

 

 

Tariq Woolen: CB, Seattle Seahawks

Tariq Woolen looks like this year's Trevon Diggs. He recorded 5 solo tackles, an interception, a pass defended, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. That was good for 14.00 fantasy points. Woolen has now recorded an interception in four straight games. He is averaging over 12.00 fantasy points over that 4 games stretch. He should be added in all IDP formats immediately. He could be a top tier IDP asset moving forward.

 

CJ Gardner-Johnson: S, Philadelphia Eagles

CJ Gardner-Johnson has absolutely balled out the last two weeks putting up 19.00 fantasy points in week 5 and 15.50 fantasy points in week 6. With this being the Eagles bye week, this may be the best opportunity to snatch up the playmaking safety. He should be considered a viable starting option moving forward.

 

Kyle Dugger: S, New England Patriots

Duggar is a player I recommended picking up last year in Dynasty Formats. This past Sunday, he recorded a season-high 8 tackles (6 solo), two passes defended, and one interception in New England's win over the Cleveland Browns. Through the first five games this season, the third-year safety has recorded 23 tackles, two passes defended, one interception, and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown. He's not a must-have, but he’s an under-the-radar player that can certainly help you through these bye weeks coming up.
