Let's take a quick look at a few linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs who are either good grab-and-stash types or those you should target in trades. Hope you enjoy the article and that it opens your eyes to some of the gems that can be found on your leagues' waiver wires!
Defensive Backs
Quandre Diggs (S - SEA): Jamal Adams is hurt (again), so look for Diggs' numbers to increase accordingly. Diggs posted 21 fantasy points in typical IDP scoring last week, and while you might not expect 20+ every week, it stands to reason he'll be in the 14-16 point range week to week if Adams continues to miss time.
DaRon Bland (CB - DAL): Quite simply, this guy should not be on any free agent list in any format. Of course, he's probably rostered in leagues that break apart cornerbacks and safeties, but he may still be available in leagues that combine the positions. He is consistently around the ball, and while his tackle totals may be on the lower side due to him being such a ballhawk, he's getting it done with picks and pass breakups.
Isaiah Pola-Mao (S - LVR): Looks like Marcus Epps may miss some time, and while Tre'Von Moehrig has been stellar with volume tackles for the Raiders this year, there will be opportunities for the second Raider safety, whoever that may be. Pola-Mao spelled the aforementioned Epps once he got hurt and came through with four solos, three helpers and a pick against the Dolphins last week.
