Week 5 Fantasy Football IDP Waiver Wire

Whether your fantasy football team is undefeated or winless after four weeks in your IDP leagues, you may be searching for defensive players that can replace your injured or underperforming players.

Notable injuries from Week 4 include Shaq Thompson, Fred Warner, Troy Andersen, Josey Jewell, Micah Parsons, Josh Hines-Allen, DeMarcus Lawrence, Kyle Duggerand Reed BlankenshipThese injured players may be unavailable for Week 5, so be prepared to replace them in your starting lineup. In addition, there are four teams on bye this week including the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans.

Each week we will suggest at least three linebackers, three defensive linemen and three defensive backs as possible waiver wire additions. These defensive players are all rostered less than 55% on My Fantasy League and may be available in your league, so make sure you check your IDP waiver wire and consider adding these players to upgrade your roster.
