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. I hope you enjoy the article and that it opens your eyes to some of the gems who can be found on your leagues' waiver wires!
Defensive Linemen
Bud Dupree (DE - ATL): This is strictly a Week 15 plug-and-play, as Dupree has been pretty good in the right circumstances. Facing the Panther offensive line may result in some solid production, as he blew up against the Jets a few weeks ago. If you're struggling to find a DL2 in deeper formats, give Dupree a shot, as he could come up with a handful of tackles and a sack.
D.J. Wonnum (DE - MIN): It's kind of shocking that I'm seeing Wonnum on a few of my leagues' free-agent lists. He's got seven sacks on the season, a handful of pass breakups and a respectable 27 solos. His matchup against the Bengals on Saturday could result in decent production. And for those looking to build up their rosters for 2024 and beyond, Wonnum is just 26 years old with plenty of tread left on the tires.
Grover Stewart (DT- IND): The big space-eating tackle out of little Albany State is back from suspension and logged four solos in his return last week. Matchups against the Steelers and Falcons for the next two weeks could remind folks of his production last year where he was a tackling machine in terms of interior linemen. Definitely worth a shot, especially in leagues that break apart the defensive line positions.
