The week 14 Bye-mageddon in the NFL is here and a lot of people are going to be focused on their offense like usual. That’s when they’ll look at the transactions in the morning and see they forgot their IDP players. Don’t be that person by reading this article and slaying the waiver wire tonight. The players I put in this article may not be a deep find like usual, so we can focus on getting your teams into the playoffs. Also, if you like to stream defensive players, look no further than my IDP Heats of the Week which will be out later this week. That way, you can bring the pain to your opponents once again this week. Have a great day, everyone and may the tackles be with you.
LB C.J. Mosley, New York Jets
Currently available in over 90 percent of IDP leagues, C.J. Mosley is set to return soon and it could be this week. The Jets have a great schedule for the fantasy football playoffs as well giving you a top-notch linebacker once he’s fully healthy. This will be the last week you’ll get him cheap, so go in now so that you can reap the benefits later.
My Prediction: 6 total tackles, 1 stuff
LB Jordan Hicks, Cleveland Browns
Jordan Hicks has been all over the place this season, but over the past three games, he has finally found himself. In the past three weeks, he has recorded 24 total tackles, three stuffs, and one sack. With a rematch with the Steelers coming up this week, you can bet Hicks will be chasing Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren all over the field. The best part is he’s available in 88 percent of fantasy leagues, giving you an easy pick up with no strings attached.
My Prediction: 6 total tackles, 1 stuff
LB Matt Milano, Buffalo Bills
Matt Milano is finally back, and the Bills are happy to have an early Christmas present as well. Milano had five total tackles and a half of stuff, which turned out to be a good day for him. Once he gets going, there’s no stopping this tackling monster, and now they can soak up some sun in L.A. after that snowy game against the Niners. The Rams run a ton of plays to the weak side, which should help Milano perform for any of your fantasy football teams.
My Prediction: 7 total tackles, 1 stuff
