IDP Dynasty Sleepers: Week 7

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Krys Barnes, Arizona

Barnes has been a productive fantasy linebacker before (Green Bay, Arizona) and now gets a chance to fill in for Kyzir White as the "Green Dot" middle linebacker for the Cards.  White's knee is still being evaluated, but it stands to reason that he'll be out for at least a game or two.  Barnes filled in admirably for White after his departure last week (nine total tackles in 54 of 75 total snaps) and would be a solid play against the run-heavy Chargers this coming Monday Night.  And if White misses additional time, the upcoming schedule for the Cards looks pretty favorable.

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Mohamoud Diabate, Cleveland

With Jordan Hicks sidelined again, it looked like Devin Bush would be the benefactor (as he was in Week 5), but Bush only got 55% of the snaps in Week 6, with Diabate getting 74%.  Diabate ended up chipping in with four solos and three assists on the day.  Not eye-popping numbers but this Cleveland team is pretty bad, making way for the defense to be on the field quite a bit.  Hicks may be back soon, but it stands to reason this team ends up auditioning its younger players, including the second-year pro out of Utah.  

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Claudin Cherelus, Carolina

Check on both Cherelus and Josey Jewell's status before jumping here, as Cherelus was backing up Jewell, who was out again in Week 6 and suffered a hamstring injury himself.  If his injury is not severe and Jewell misses more time, Cherelus is one to watch.  He hasn't been a big producer in Jewell's stead, but Trevin Wallace can't make all the tackles!
