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 Backs
D'Anthony Bell (S - CLE): Both Juan Thornhill and Grant Delpit have been out, and Bell has stepped up. Look for Bell to be a key defender against the Jets and especially Breece Hall. Bell has double-digit fantasy points in each of the past two contests and should surely reach that benchmark again to wrap up the fantasy season.
Taylor Rapp (S - BUF): Rapp has returned from injury to replace the dinged-up Micah Hyde and has had 30 fantasy points in the past two contests. The matchup against the Patriots isn't the best on paper, but the Pats have been sneaky decent offensively the past few weeks. Rapp could find himself highly involved yet again.
Desmond King II (CB - HOU): With Derek Stingley and Steven Nelson on the edges, King has been productive as the nickel corner. The matchup against the Titans isn't particularly juicy, so you might want to temper your expectations for this week. But neither was the Browns matchup last week, and King put up 16.5 fantasy points. If you're in an ultra-deep league that starts cornerbacks independently, King is worth looking at for Week 17.
