• Kyle Hamilton makes up for a quiet two weeks: The Baltimore Ravens safety came up with three sacks in this game with a significant change in his overall usage.
• A career-best pass-rush grade from Aidan Hutchinson: The Detroit Lions’ 2022 second-overall pick posted the best pass-rush grade of his career to go along with two sacks in Week 3.
• Concern for Uchenna Nwosu’s slow start: After 9.5 sacks in 2022, the Seattle Seahawks top edge defender is off to a very poor start in 2023 which could be a cause for concern.

Week 3 Takeaways
Waiver wire
- DI Christian Barmore, New England Patriots: Barmore played more snaps this week, up from a 50% average through the first two weeks, and as a result, he had his best game of the year. Barmore posted a sack and an 89.1 pass-rush grade. If he continues to play more snaps, then he will be a useful starter in DT-required leagues.
- LB Ezekiel Turner, Arizona Cardinals: With both Josh Woods and Krys Barnes now dealing with injuries, Ezekiel Turner would likely serve as the next man up should they both miss Week 4. Turner is unlikely to see a full-time role and would be a deep league add only.
- LB Nate Landman, Atlanta Falcons: Landman made the waiver list last week due to Andersen dealing with a concussion but now with a more serious injury to Andersen, he is worth highlighting again here as the next man up for a potential every-down role.
- LB Deion Jones, Carolina Panthers: Jones joins Kamu Grugier-Hill as the second Panthers’ linebacker waiver target in as many weeks. Jones and Grugier-Hill did not assume full-time roles in lieu of Shaq Thompson and Frankie Luvu, although there could be room for one to potentially get there this week if Luvu is out for Week 4. Grugier-Hill did play 100% of the second-half snaps with Luvu out.
- LB Drew Sanders, Denver Broncos: Assuming Alex Singleton is already on rosters in most leagues, Sanders would be the second option stepping into Singleton’s rotational LB2 role. Sanders managed just one tackle and missed three in this game.
- LB Isaiah McDuffie, Green Bay Packers: With the Packers playing on a short week in Week 4, De’Vondre Campbell could miss this game, which would thrust McDuffie into a larger role, although not a full-time one. He would become a deeper league add only if Campbell does miss more time.
- LB Drue Tranquill, Kansas City Chiefs: With Nick Bolton out due to injury, Tranquill returned to relevance for the time being, leading the team in tackles and adding a half-sack on the day. Tranquill will only be worth starting should Bolton miss any more time.
- S Jeremy Chinn, Carolina Panthers: Chinn filled in for the injured Xavier Woods and is likely to continue doing so should Woods miss any time. Chinn was a droppable IDP asset through these first few weeks of the season, but injuries could cause him to be relevant for as long as he’s filling in.
- S Donovan Wilson, Dallas Cowboys: Wilson should see his role increase in the weeks ahead as he was coming off an injury in his season debut this week. Wilson’s role in Dan Quinn’s defense has typically been a good one for IDP production, as he plays a large chunk of his snaps in the box and around the line of scrimmage.
- S Delarrin Turner-Yell, Denver Broncos: With Justin Simmons inactive, Delarrin Turner-Yell moved into an every-down role and would have value in deeper leagues should Simmons continue to miss time.
- S Brian Branch, Detroit Lions: Branch played his first 100% snap share game this week with injuries to the Lions’ secondary piling up. Branch continued in his primary slot corner role but saw decent usage in the box and around the line of scrimmage, which led to a very productive day, leading his team in tackles (11).
- S JT Woods, Los Angeles Chargers: Should Derwin James (hamstring) miss any time, JT Woods figures to be the next man up and a potential add in deeper leagues.

- Point of interest: Kyle Hamilton had a massive game this week, posting three sacks on a 14% blitz rate, but this usage was much closer to what made him a highly-ranked and breakout IDP candidate coming into this season. Hamilton moved to more of a slot role this week, which allowed him to be more involved in the action and utilized in a more beneficial way than the previous two weeks. With Ar’Darius Washington, who was acting as the team’s primary slot, on injured reserve, there’s potential for Hamilton to continue in this role in the weeks ahead, keeping him as a top-tier fantasy option.

Floyd and Gregory Rousseau continue to be the primary edge defenders to target in IDP despite A.J. Epenesa adding a pick-six. He typically isn’t playing enough to trust in most lineups.

- Point of interest: Terrel Bernard had a huge fantasy performance in this game, which included two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery on top of his six tackles. Bernard and Matt Milano are every-down players but when they blow teams out like they have the past two weeks, the team will rest their starters late in the game.

- Injury: Tremaine Edmunds left this game in the third quarter due to an injury and did not return. It’s likely the coaching staff didn’t feel it was necessary to risk him by putting him back in this game, as the coaching staff seemed to indicate that he was okay and could have returned.
- Waiver wire: Jack Sanborn would be the next man up if Edmunds’ injury is more serious than the coaching staff is making it out to be.

| Akeem Davis-Gaither | 10.9% | 2.4% | 35.7% | 0.0% | 0 |
- Point of interest: Germaine Pratt‘s overall snap share dipped this week after playing up over 90% in each of the first two weeks. With the Bengals playing just 55 defensive snaps, that 80% snap share creates a lot less opportunity for production. This will be a snap share to monitor going forward since if he can regain his 90% share, he’s typically been capable of putting up strong production as a top-24 IDP linebacker option.

- Point of interest: For the second week in a row, Anthony Walker leads the Browns’ linebacker corps in snaps but in a man-heavy defense combined with this heavy rotation of players, coming up with consistent tackle production is a difficult task. This Browns linebacker room will continue to be a headache for IDP managers all season.

- Point of interest: Damone Clark led the team in tackles this week but played fewer than 70% of the team’s total defensive snaps. The Cowboys’ second linebacker spot isn’t necessarily a reliable one for IDP purposes so be cautious of trusting that production to potentially repeat next week.

- Point of interest: The Cowboys’ safety deployment took a step in the right direction for a return to normalcy as Donovan Wilson made his 2023 season debut. As a result, Jayron Kearse played an every-down role with 54% of his snaps coming in the box.
- Waiver wire: Wilson should see his role increase in the weeks ahead as he was coming off an injury in his season debut this week. Wilson’s role in Dan Quinn’s defense has typically been a good one for IDP production, as he plays a large chunk of his snaps in the box and around the line of scrimmage.

- Injury: Josey Jewell suffered a groin injury in the second quarter of this game and did not return. Alex Singleton would see a snap increase to an every-down role should Jewell miss any time.
- Waiver wire: Assuming Singleton is already on rosters in most leagues, third-round rookie Drew Sanders would be the second option stepping into Singleton’s rotational LB2 role. Sanders managed just one tackle and missed three in this game.

- Waiver wire: Brian Branch played his first 100% snap share game this week with injuries to the Lions’ secondary piling up. Branch continued in his primary slot corner role but saw decent usage in the box and around the line of scrimmage which led to a very productive day, leading his team in tackles (11).

- Injury: De’Vondre Campbell left this game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
- Waiver wire: With the Packers playing on a short week in Week 4, Campbell could miss this game which would thrust Isaiah McDuffie into a larger role, although not one that is a full-time role. He would become a deeper league add only if Campbell does miss more time.

- Point of interest: Last week’s waiver target Henry To’oTo’o played a near-every-down role due to Denzel Perryman being inactive. To’oTo’o should remain the top linebacker for as long as Perryman is out, though he would still be a useful IDP in a tackle-friendly defense should Perryman return. Neither Blake Cashman nor Christian Harris are all that interesting to put in waiver claims on outside fo the deepest leagues should Perryman miss any more time.

- Point of interest: As noted last week, the role change among the Colts’ linebackers is limiting Shaquille Leonard’s playing time, as he isn’t playing much on third downs while E.J. Speed is taking over that role. This is not a case of Speed overtaking Leonard for overall snaps, however, but it does hurt the potential for both players.

- Point of interest: Devin Lloyd is dealing with a thumb injury that could have limited his playing time in this game. However, he played the entire game but was rotating in and out, especially in the first half when he only played 59% of the defensive snaps. This will be a situation worth monitoring even after Lloyd was playing a near-every-down role early in the season, it was at about this point last year when Chad Muma began cutting into his snaps which hurt his IDP relevance.

| Channing Tindall | 14.5% | 12.8% | 20.0% | 11.1% | 1 |
- Point of interest: David Long tied for the team lead in total tackles, but his snaps were once again limited below 60%. As was mentioned last week, Long’s playing time is likely dependent on if Andrew Van Ginkel will be used exclusively on the edge, which depends on the availability of Jaelan Phillips. While Phillips was in the game, Van Ginkel spent eight snaps at off-ball linebacker but none in the second half when Phillips was out. Long played 54% of snaps in the first half and 70% in the second half.

Barmore posted a sack and an 89.1 pass-rush grade. If he continues to see increased playing time, then he will be a useful starter in DT-required leagues.

- Point of interest: Haason Reddick continues to let down fantasy managers early in this season. His pass-rush metrics have not been there to support a potential positive regression going forward, which makes him more of a matchup-based IDP option going forward.

- Point of interest: With Nakobe Dean on injured reserve, it’s thrust Nicholas Morrow into a full-time role, which we saw last week as well. Unfortunately, Morrow has been incredibly inefficient through three weeks at lower than six percent tackle efficiency in each of the past two games.

- Point of interest: The Steelers linebacker rotation is limiting this group’s potential by taking them all off the field regularly. This usage is going to make Cole Holcomb a fringe LB3 option at best going forward.

| Darrell Taylor | 11.4% | 8.3% | 11.9% | 61.0 | 14.3% | 0.0% |
- Point of interest: Uchenna Nwosu is off to a very slow start to the season, as he’s been held without a sack on the year. Not only does Nwosu have no sacks but he has the lowest pass-rush grade on the team through three games (53.4) despite nine pressures which have come purely from volume at this point. Volume might have to be his saving grace for IDP managers continuing to plug him into lineups going forward.

He continues to be a volume-dependant option only in most IDP leagues, which should keep him off most rosters at the moment.
