IDP Dynasty Sleepers: Week 10

IDP Dynasty Sleepers examines an array of linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs you should target. Depending on the makeup of your leagues, these players could be trade targets or solid grab-and-stash types who might be found on the waiver wire.

Dynasty Sleeper: LB D'Marco Jackson, New Orleans

Demario Davis is signed through the 2025 season. But he is 35 years old, and his production has really slowed.  Willie Gay Jr is proving to be "just a guy", so there have been some flashes from guys like Anfernee Orji.  Pete Werner could certainly turn things around, but it appears there will be some room for a younger linebacker to emerge here in the next season or so.  Jackson hasn't really flashed, but if you're in a larger league with deep benches, he's worth a stash just to see how things play out in 2025.  

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Baron Browning, Arizona

With Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper looking fairly impressive for the Broncos, the team sent Browning to the Cardinals, who definitely need some pass rush help with Dennis Gardeck shelved for the season.  Browning has flashed in the past and could be a decent bye-week filler in deeper leagues with big-play scoring.  You can probably leave him be in standard scoring formats, but he may have 5-6 sacks in him the rest of the way out.

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Anthony Walker Jr., Miami

This is a suggestion for those who are scraping for a high-floor LB3 (albeit older linebacker) in leagues where there's a chance to make the fantasy playoffs.  If you're rebuilding, don't clog your roster.  But Walker suddenly got 100% of the snaps last week in favor of David Long Jr.  Walker has been productive in the past as a volume tackler, so don't be afraid to add him if you need a steady-Eddie type as your LB3 or bye week plug-in.  Check out Walker's post-game thoughts here.
