• The Denver Broncos put their trust in P.J. Locke, much to IDP managers’ delight: The Broncos recently released veteran Kareem Jackson, solidifying Locke as an IDP starter for the rest of the year.
• The peculiar usage of Derwin James: James did not play his usual full-time role in Week 16, which could be a cause for concern heading into Week 17.
• Ivan Pace Jr. took a step back in Week 16: With Jordan Hicks returning to the lineup, Pace loses his IDP relevancy — for now.
Week 16 Takeaways
Be sure to check out last week’s waiver wire targets here.
Waiver wire
- EDGE Patrick Jones, Minnesota Vikings: Jones stepped in for an injured D.J. Wonnum and played well, coming up with a sack, a pass breakup and six tackles. He would be a deep league option only for Week 17.
- LB Krys Barnes, Arizona Cardinals: Barnes stepped into a full-time role with Josh Woods out for the year. He had a solid nine-tackle game and can be a useful fill-in for IDP teams needing a starting linebacker.
- LB Isaiah McDuffie, Green Bay Packers: McDuffie once again found his way into the Packers' starting lineup with De’Vondre Campbell missing another game. McDuffie is a fine IDP fill-in for deeper leagues, as he won’t play a full-time role with Quay Walker in the lineup.
- LB Shaquille Leonard/Ben VanSumeren, Philadelphia Eagles: With Nicholas Morrow and Zach Cunningham now dealing with injuries and missing Week 16, the Eagles had no choice but to give more playing time to Leonard and VanSumeren at linebacker. Leonard would be an option in deeper leagues should both players miss Week 17, while VanSumeren is only an option in the deepest of leagues if both Morrow and Cunningham miss Week 17.
- LB Myles Jack, Pittsburgh Steelers: Jack played 100% of the team’s defensive snaps once Elandon Roberts left the game and would likely assume the same role in Week 17 since Roberts has already been ruled out. The team also added Blake Martinez and Jaylon Smith to the roster this week but are less likely to see IDP-relevant snaps.
- LB Devin Bush, Seattle Seahawks: Bush would be a deep-league option should Jordyn Brooks miss time, but he isn’t likely to play a full-time role.
- LB Otis Reese IV, Tennessee Titans: Reese played a small role as the team’s secondary linebacker this week with Jack Gibbens on injured reserve. Reese should be expected to play around 50% of the snaps again in Week 17, making him far from trustworthy outside the deepest IDP leagues.
- S Anthony Johnson Jr., Green Bay Packers: Rookie Anthony Johnson played a full-time role this week with Rudy Ford battling injury. Ford was questionable coming into the week and played just seven defensive snaps throughout the game. Johnson is a deep-league add only as there’s at least a chance that Ford plays more in Week 17 if he’s healthy enough.
- S Nick Cross, Indianapolis Colts: Cross stepped into a full-time role for Julian Blackmon and looks set to take over his box-heavy role, which makes him an intriguing IDP option heading into Week 17.

Hamilton has been nursing a knee injury for the past couple of weeks and is in danger of missing the final week of the year, making Geno Stone a waiver consideration once again.

- Point of interest: Tyrel Dodson’s 80% snap share was the highest for him since Week 9 of this season. Dodson is still far from being a full-time player, but the increase in snaps will be slightly encouraging for IDP managers in deeper leagues who have been (and will be) starting him to close out this season.

- Point of interest: After playing 90% of the team’s defensive snaps for four straight weeks, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s snaps dipped back down to just 72% this week, though he still came up with an interception to pair with his six tackles, making for a nice IDP day. This fluctuating playing time has been the norm for Browns linebackers all season and shouldn’t be a surprise if there is another shift in usage next week.

Locke to keep his starting role and deliver for IDP managers who paid attention to the transactions heading into the week. Locke has played well for Denver and IDP managers and should be a starting option once again in Week 17.

| Will Harris | 1.9% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 100.0% | 0 |
- Rookie watch: Brian Branch produced a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and six tackles. However, his role continues to be limited to that of a rotational nickel corner and doesn’t appear like he’ll play a full-time role, which makes him a riskier boom/bust IDP start each week for those considering it.

- Waiver wire: Rookie Anthony Johnson played a full-time role this week with Rudy Ford battling an injury. Ford was questionable coming into the week and played just seven defensive snaps throughout the game. Johnson is a deep-league add only as there’s at least a chance that Ford plays more in Week 17 if he’s healthy enough.

- Injury: Jimmie Ward suffered a quad injury after just four defensive snaps and has been placed on injured reserve.
- Trending down: Jalen Pitre was benched in the second half of this game and did not play any defensive snaps beyond the third quarter. He will be difficult to trust in Week 17 lineups.
- Point of interest: The Texans claimed Kareem Jackson off waivers, so it is at least possible he works his way into some relevant playing time.

- Waiver wire: Nick Cross stepped into a full-time role for Blackmon and looks set to take over his box-heavy role, which makes him an intriguing IDP option heading into Week 17.

- Point of interest: Ernest Jones delivered a strong game for IDP managers, coming up with a sack and two pass breakups to go along with his tackle total, which included two for a loss. Jones should be a locked-in IDP LB1 going forward to close out the year.

- Point of interest: Derwin James played a much different role in this game, one week removed from the firing of Brandon Staley. James was almost exclusively the team’s nickel corner in this game, playing the large majority of his snaps in the slot, even coming off the field for three of the team’s 10 third- and fourth-down situations. James’ dip in playing time luckily didn’t affect his overall production too much, as he still led the team in total tackles (eight), but this will be a concern for Week 17’s potential, assuming things remain the same.

- Point of interest: Andrew Van Ginkel and Bradley Chubb continued their strong seasons, recording 1.5 sacks each in this game. Both have been solid options all year, though Van Ginkel has been particularly valuable with Jaelan Phillips out of the lineup.

| David Long Jr. | 92.4% | 97.9% | 77.8% | 4.9% | 3 |
- Point of interest: The Dolphins linebackers have been inefficient starting options for most of the season, as only David Long has reached league-average tackle efficiency (13.3%). Both Jerome Baker and Duke Riley have failed to crack even 10% tackle efficiency this season, putting them well below average and keeping them out of most IDP starting lineups.

- Injury: D.J. Wonnum suffered a torn quad muscle in this game and has been placed on injured reserve. Wonnum had eight sacks on the year and was a fine IDP fill-in option on most weeks.
- Waiver wire: Patrick Jones stepped in for Wonnum and played a strong game, coming up with a sack, a pass breakup and six tackles. He would be a deep-league option only for Week 17.

- Trending down: Ivan Pace had been a great IDP starting option for as long as Jordan Hicks was out of the lineup, but unfortunately, with Hicks back, Pace was relegated to his part-time role and far from IDP relevancy heading into Week 17.

- Point of interest: It was great to see Christian Barmore deliver three sacks in this game as a player who certainly has IDP potential as a big-play specialist at the defensive tackle position. Unfortunately, he’s been far too inconsistent to be trusted most weeks and likely had his big game on many IDP benches.

As a result, Tanoh Kpassagnon, who was highlighted last week as “fool’s gold” with three sacks, went back to being irrelevant for IDP purposes.

| Ben VanSumeren | 58.1% | 71.4% | 26.3% | 16.7% | 6 |
- Waiver wire: With both Nicholas Morrow and Zach Cunningham now dealing with injuries and missing Week 16, the Eagles had no choice but to give Leonard and VanSumeren more playing time at linebacker. Leonard would be an option in deeper leagues should both players miss Week 17 as well, while VanSumeren is only an option in the deepest of leagues if both Morrow and Cunningham miss this coming week.

- Injury: Elandon Roberts suffered a pectoral injury early in the second quarter of this game and did not return.
- Waiver wire: Myles Jack played 100% of the team’s defensive snaps once Roberts left the game and would likely assume the same role in Week 17 since Roberts has already been ruled out. The team also added Blake Martinez and Jaylon Smith to the roster this week but are less likely to see IDP-relevant snaps.
