IDP Dynasty Sleepers: Week 14

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 Linebackers

Zaire Barnes, NY Giants

We tagged Barnes as a potential sleeper back in Week 11, and wouldn't you know it, he's now the LB2 for the G-men with Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles dinged. Barnes was all over the field on Monday Night Football this past week, logging an impressive 13 tackles (eight solo) and even chipped in with a sack. Bobby Okereke is still the main source of tackles for this defense (most likely), but it looks like Barnes will be second in command for the rest of the season.

Malik Harrison, Pittsburgh

This is a speculative add here, with Patrick Queen only logging 45% of the snaps this past weekend due to injury. And it was Harrison, not Cole Holcomb, that picked up the slack. In Queen's stead, Harrison chipped in with eight tackles this past week. If Queen is to miss any more time, Harrison could be a cheap source of tackles. Peyton Wilson will be more of the box score filler, but Harrison could get double-digit fantasy points in tackles alone week to week.

Kain Medrano, Washington

Deeper dive here, with Jordan Magee likely rostered in dynasty formats. Bobby Wagner is 35 years old. While he's still getting it done, we could see the Commanders employing younger talent at some point, perhaps as soon as the rest of this year, but most likely in 2026. Medrano is currently behind Wagner at the highly productive MLB spot for the Commanders, and as a rookie from UCLA, would likely be taxi squad eligible in your dynasty leagues.
