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 Malik Harrison, Baltimore

Harrison has been fairly inconsistent when given regular time in the past, save for the past couple of weeks.  It's clear that he can gobble up tackles, but only if Roquan Smith is out.  Harrison had 20 fantasy points against the Chargers this past Monday night and would be an every-week play (especially against run-heavy teams) if Smith were to ever miss more time.  If nothing else, he's a solid handcuff if you have the bench room.

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Nick Niemann, LA Chargers

Denzel Perryman will be an unrestricted free agent in 2025, and Daiyan Henley can't make all of the tackles for the Chargers.  Niemann has had flashes where he puts up decent numbers and is only 26 years old.  The ex-Iowa linebacker fits the Chargers' defensive scheme well lining up next to Henley and could be a cheap source of tackles if Perryman misses extended stretches and/or is not brought back next season.

Dynasty Sleeper: LB Yasir Abdullah, Jacksonville

Consider this recommendation with a grain of salt, as Abdullah has only chipped in with the occasional tackle or two when given playing time this season, but fellow backup 'backer Chad Muma hasn't exactly wowed anyone when either Devin Lloyd or Foyesade Oluokun has been out.  Abdullah is just 24, and the Jags could easily cut bait with Muma and let the ex-Louisville product back up the two stud Jag linebackers.  Consider Abdullah someone to watch as the season wraps up and then into the off-season.
