This might be your final week to sneak into the playoffs. Check out some of the top-level, ceiling plays from @DynastySanta and his Week 12 IDP sleepers!
Reflection on last week. Marcus Davenport was a home run with 1.5 sacks. Jayon Brown ATE with 14 tackles. Monty Rice was solid with 7 tackles. T.J. Edwards SMASHED with 10 tackles, plus a fumble recovery AND a pick. Xavier McKinney provided a solid tack floor with 7. And lastly, Eric Murray had a great day as well finishing as a DB1 in most leagues. Let's hope the Week 12 IDP sleepers hold up as well!
Defensive Line
James Smith-Williams, DE, Washington Football Team
ESPN: 0.1% ST - 0.1% RST - YAHOO: 0.0% RST
The last time I tried to use a WFT defensive lineman, it was Jonathan Allen a couple of weeks ago. His production disappointed, but hoping Smith-Williams will not. Honestly, both of them I'd roll with as sleeper candidates this week. It's because of their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson is prone to get sacked. So I am much more confident in both Smith-Williams and Allen this week. The Seahawks allowed Preston Smith to come alive last week with two sacks!
Linebacker
Kamu Grugier-Hill, Houston Texans
ESPN: 5.5% ST - 7.0% RST - YAHOO: 4.0% RST
As of late, Grugier-Hill has gotten the opportunity to see the abundance of snaps for the Texans at linebacker. And he has not disappointed. I know it might be hard to trust in such a fringe guy. However, the matchup against the New York Jets and the return of quarterback Zach Wilson is enticing. That could be a game filled with sloppy football, with PLENTY of opportunities for Kamu Grugier-Hill to continue his outstanding fantasy play.
Anthony Barr, Minnesota Vikings
ESPN: 1.8% ST - 3.4% RST - YAHOO: 1% RST
Hear me out. Barr has been banged up all year long and missed five games so far. It appears he may finally be healthy now. And when he has been healthy, he's been incredibly productive and a safe fantasy option. This week, the Vikings take on the run-happy San Francisco 49ers who should have a healthy-ish Elijah Mitchell back to carry the load. Barr likely isn't the most exciting play this week but should continue to provide a very safe floor.
Defensive Back
Desmond King, CB, Houston Texans
ESPN: 13.5% ST - 15.1% RST - YAHOO: 9.0% RST
Am I chasing last week's points with King? Probably, yes. However, we've got another matchup play here, similar to his teammate Kamu Grugier-Hill from above. I don't think King totally replays his monster fantasy production from last week. However, Houston defenders have been great IDP options lately. And it is the Jets and he's got as good of a chance at an interception as anyone this week! Total ceiling/YOLO play.
George Odum, S, Indianapolis Colts
ESPN: 0.2% ST - 0.3% RST - YAHOO: 0.0% RST
George Odum has been the next man up since the unfortunate injury to Khari Willis earlier this year. He has been a bit up and down concerning fantasy production. However, Odum has been providing a decent tackle floor. In Week 12, the Colts face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what has the makings of a shootout. Last week, three New York Giants defensive backs all scored very well against the Buccs. I'd fire up Odum with confidence this week.
Best of luck in your IDP leagues and thanks for checking out my Week 12 IDP sleepers!
