Fantasy football IDP free-agent report: Week 3
This is our weekly Waiver Wire feature depicting the best individual defensive players to target on waivers in fantasy.
The first two weeks of NFL action have been chaotic, with individual defensive players outscoring quarterbacks and highlighting the importance of strategic roster decisions. This week's fantasy football IDP free-agent report focuses on key defensive players to target during the waiver wire. Defensive linemen Lukas Van Ness from the Green Bay Packers and Leonard Williams from the Seattle Seahawks have been particularly noteworthy.
Van Ness, primarily functioning as a linebacker, has contributed 10 tackles and a sack in Week 2, while Williams, despite his natural defensive tackle stature, has excelled as an edge rusher in Seattle's 3-4 defense. Linebackers Dee Winters from the Dallas Cowboys and Leo Chenal from the Washington Commanders have been steady performers.
Winters, who missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury, had seven solo tackles and a fumble recovery in Week 2. Chenal, replacing Frankie Luvu in Week 2, has amassed 12 total tackles in his first two games. Other valuable pickups include Detroit Lions safety Chuck Clark, who has made significant plays with three tackles and an interception in Week 1 and a further 11 tackles in Week 2, and 49ers safety Marques Sigle, who has risen to prominence with 59 snaps on defense and solid contributions in both weeks.
