Whether your fantasy football team is undefeated or struggling to stay in contention in your IDP leagues, you may be searching for defensive players that can replace your injured or underperforming players.
Notable injuries from Week 11 include Roquan Smith, Nick Bosa, Alex Anzalone, Jack Gibbens, Denzel Perryman and Mike Brown These injured players may be unavailable for Week 12, so be prepared to replace them in your starting lineup. In addition, there are six teams on bye this week, including the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets.
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.
