Linebackers
Tyrel Dodson (BUF): Dodson put up some numbers in Tremaine Edmund’s stead before, and last week he did it again, even though he was said to be sharing snaps with Terrel Bernard. Dodson was all over the field and can be viewed as a great handcuff to Edmunds.
Garret Wallow (HOU): There are a couple of veteran linebackers, namely Kamu Grugier-Hill and Christian Kirksey, who will likely not be on the squad next year as the Texans go with a youth movement. Wallow is just 23 and in his second season in the NFL. He’s got good size and fits the Texans’ defensive scheme well. A solid add-and-stash for those that may need a lottery ticket on their taxi squad.
Lorenzo Carter (ATL): The Falcons desperately need a consistent pass-rusher, and Carter is probably the best they have at this point. He’s worth a look in big-play formats if you have a bench slot open.
Defensive Linemen
