With week 6 ending with another upset, it only shows why the term “Any given Sunday” exists. Unfortunately, on the defensive side of things, Fred Warner suffered a gruesome injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season. That being said, that’s why this article is so imperative to helping your fantasy football teams stay consistent. Hopefully, you caught last week’s article and grabbed Nate Landman, as he recorded 17 total tackles, setting a record for the Rams. If you didn’t, then now you have to pay the price for two incredible back-to-back games. The players listed below are ready to do the same as we get ready to dominate the middle of the season. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.
LB Sirvocea Dennis, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sirvocea Dennis starts off this week’s article as a high priority for this week’s waiver wire. Right now, Dennis is 20 percent owned and has a snap share of around 92 percent. If you’re looking for a replacement for Warner, then look no further. Pick up Dennis today and throw down anywhere between three to six bucks of your FAAB, depending on your needs for this position.
LB/DE Nick Herbig, Pittsburgh Steelers
Nick Herbig was able to get some extra playing time while Alex Highsmith was out, but since his return, the Steelers still have Herbig’s snap count back to around 60 percent. At 11 percent owned, Herbig still recorded two sacks, showing that playing for a defense like the have in Pittsburgh can benefit anyone who gets to play.
LB Kenneth Murray, Dallas Cowboys
Kenneth Murray is hardly talked about, but playing for the Cowboys does have its benefits. Murray has only been under 100 percent of snaps in one game this year, and the fast pace that the Cowboys play at only ensures that he’ll always have opportunities for tackles. At 11 percent, Murray is the perfect linebacker to pick up this week, and you could probably get him for a dollar.
DB Evan Williams, Green Bay Packers
At five percent owned, hardly anyone knows about Evan Williams, who is getting a lot of snaps in one of the best defenses in Green Bay. Williams has played in 100 percent of the snaps in three out of five games this year, giving you the confidence you’ll need when picking up a player like him. You can probably get him free if you wait a day, but if not, to the dollar bin we go again.
DE Quinnen Williams, New York Jets
Here’s another play at 11 percent that is quietly having a good year in the defensive line. Quinnen Williams is playing around 70 percent for his snap share, which has turned out great for him. Currently, Williams is averaging around three tackles per game, but what’s nice is that he’s caused three forced fumbles as well. That not only makes him more of a force to be reckoned with but also gives you a chance to win the forced fumble category.
