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 13 include Logan Wilson, K.J. Britt, Dexter Lawrence II, Reed Blankenship, Tyrann Mathieu and Jimmie Ward. These injured players may be unavailable for Week 14, so be prepared to replace them in your starting lineup. In addition, there are six teams on bye this week including the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Washington Commanders. Lastly, we should prepare for a potential suspension for Azeez Al-Shaair.
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.
