Perhaps you have lost one of your star players to injury? Or maybe your team just needs some added reinforcement. Whatever the reason might be for you dipping into the waiver wire, these are the players you should be looking to pick up in IDP fantasy ahead of Week 11.
Defensive line
Justin Houston, Baltimore Ravens – Houston was in truly electric form before his Week 10 bye. Since coming back from injury in Week 7 he has been living in the backfield, averaging 26.6 points per game over theat spell. He has a really good chance to continue this run, with some favourable matchups against Carolina and Jacksonville on the horizon.
Grover Stewart, Indianapolis Colts – Stewart might not be a household name but he is in good form for the Colts. He has now had five straight games with double digit points and is averaging 17.4 points per game in that period. What makes all of this even better is the fact that Stewart is available in 78% of IDP leagues.
Mario Edwards, Tennessee Titans – Edwards has been a revelation from an IDP perspective since the Titans poached him off the Jaguars’ practice squad earlier this season. He has seen an increase in playing time over the last few weeks and his last two games have paid off big time for Tennessee. He has scored 34 points through his last two games and is available in 100% of IDP leagues – yes, you read that right!
Linebacker
Drue Tranquill, Los Angeles Chargers – Tranquill has been one of the most reliable IDP linebaackers this season. He has managed to produce double digit points in every game so far and through Week 10 he ranks as the LB8. He is scoring 19.4 points per game and should have no problem keeping that up.
Jack Sanborn, Chicago Bears – With Roquan Smith gone, someone needed to step up in Chicago. It looks like that person will be Sanborn. Since earning himself a starting role in recent weeks he has managed to rack up a good number of tackles. He has also shown that he can be a contributor as a blitzer. Sanborn is coming off a 39-point game and has a good matchup against the Falcons next week.
Christian Kirksey, Houston Texans – With IDP there are always linebackers on bad teams who score well because they can rack up tackles. That perfectly describes Kirksey. He has scored double digit points in every game this season and is averaging 15 points per game. Kirksey is available to pick up in almost half of IDP leagues.
Defensive back
Damar Hamlin, Buffalo Bills – Get hold of Hamlin before it is too late. The second-year safety has been excellent for the Bills this season and has scored double digit points in every game since Week 3. He’s managed to top 20 points in each of his last two games too. Despite these great numbers he is rostered in just 16.6% of IDP leagues.
Jonathan Owens, Houston Texas – What’s not to like about Owens. He’s an IDP dream, with a consistently high volum eof tackles. In Week 10 he logged his sixth game already with double digit tackles. He has topped 15 points five times and 20 points twice. The fact that he is still available in almost half of IDP leagues is crazy.
Kerby Joseph, Detroit Lions – Joseph has been one of the standout rookies so far this season. He’s not been too bad in IDP either. With Week 10 in the books, he now has four straight games of double digit points under his belt. He’s earned a reputation as a ball hawk and with games against the Giants, Bills, and Jaguars around the corner, he should get a chance to show that off again
