Welcome to another season of Dynasty IDP Sleepers! The purpose of this article is to highlight a handful of linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs that might be available in your dynasty leagues. I sample my own 12-, 14-, and 16-team leagues to get a cross-section of players who could be free agents in your leagues. Let's take a look at this week's suggestions!

Dynasty Sleeper Defensive Backs

Jeremy Reaves, Washington

Reaves has been a steady presence for the Commander backfield all season, averaging a tick under 10 fantasy points per game.  His first three weeks weren't anything to write home about, but since then, he's been productive.  Quan Martin has been solid, too, but Reaves is the box safety who has a decent tackle floor week to week.  If you're bitten by bye weeks and/or injuries to your safeties, Reaves is a safe weekly play as a DB2.

Thomas Harper, Detroit

When Brian Branch was suspended, we saw Erick Hallett II step up.  Now that the veteran Kerby Joseph is dealing with a nagging injury, Harper has stepped up in his stead and put up a respectable six solos against the Commanders last week.  Harper is an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, and could get some run if Joseph continues to nurse injuries.

JuJu Brents, Miami

The Dolphins' corners have been beset by injuries pretty much all season, and Brents stepped in as the second corner last week with a 76% snap share and finished the Week 10 contest with five solos and a pass breakup.  Yet another young player with the opportunity to finish the season with an audition and possible fantasy production.
