Welcome to Week 10 of the IDP Dynasty Sleepers! This article highlights a handful of linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs who 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

Marlowe Wax, LA Chargers

Gotta love Trade Deadline Day! With Daiyan Henley now with the rival Broncos, enter Wax, who will man one of the Chargers' inside linebacker positions. Wax got snaps last week and had a whopping seven assisted tackles. Figure he will put up similar production to what Henley was giving you.

Malcolm Rodriguez, Detroit

With Jack Campbell out, Rodriguez's snaps will jump up. Derrick Barnes will also see increased production, but Rodriguez is probably the guy on your free agent list. He's been productive in the past, so there's no reason to think he won't be serviceable at worst. Can Rodriguez replicate Campbell's stats? Probably not, but he's proven to be productive when given snaps.

Tommy Eichenberg, Las Vegas

If either the Nakobe Dean or Quay Walker experiment fails, or if one gets hurt, Eichenberg would have some value. He always seems to chip in with tackles even with a handful of backup snaps. If you're a Dean owner, Eichenberg is a guy you'd probably want to roster if you have the room.
