Week 16 Fantasy Football IDP Waiver Wire

Welcome to the second week of the fantasy playoffs. Hopefully all your teams have advanced to the next round and are still vying for that championship trophy. If you have a second-round matchup and are searching for defensive players who can replace your injured or underperforming players, make sure you check out the list below.

Notable injuries from Week 15 include T.J. Watt, Quay Walker, Matt Milano, Luke Gifford, Christian Elliss, Jeremy Chinn, Carlton Davis and Chamarri Conner. These injured players may be unavailable for Week 16, so be prepared to replace them in your starting lineup.

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.
