Fantasy Football IDP Week 15 Waiver Pickups
We are almost at the fantasy football super bowl but there are still some great fantasy football IDP week 15 waiver pickups on the waiver wire. If your still in need of more IDP waiver pickups then check out the previous IDP articles to find defensive players that are still available in many leagues. If you are in need of a linebacker (LB) and/or a defensive end (DE), here are two waiver pickups that will have a major impact on your team and could possibly help you win your fantasy football week 15 IDP playoff game.
David Hawthorne, LB, Seattle Seahawks – Hawthorne was mentioned in the IDP sleeper article before the season started and is having a relatively good year so far with 55 solo tackles, 33 assists and three picks. Although I thought he would be further along statistically at this point, the middle linebacker has great matchups the next two weeks with Chicago and San Francisco while being owned in less than 15 percent of ESPN leagues. Feel good about adding him to your team if your need a boost in the final weeks of your IDP season. He’s only in his forth season out of Texas Christian University and has a lot of promise to be a valuable IDP player for years to come.
Jason Worilds DE, Pittsburgh Steelers – This is a guy to keep an eye on for the future and also a great pickup in deep leagues for Week 15, especially for James Harrison owners. The veteran Harrison is facing a one game suspension, which is currently in the appeal process, but will likely be upheld given his history of helmet-to-helmet hits on quarterbacks. Worilds has played well in the past three games recording three sacks and 17 total tackles replacing the injured LaMarr Woodley who is expected back this week. Worilds is a young player at age 23 who is only going to get better and could very well have an impact game in the upcoming matchup against the 49ers who have allowed the sixth-most sacks in the league with 39, 18 of which came in the past three contests. Harrison will return in Week 16 and Worilds will likely spell Woodley which means limited fantasy value.

Fantasy Football IDP Week 14 Waiver Pickups
For all you hardcore IDP junkies out there, here is the list of the top IDP week 14 waiver pickups so you can always be first place in your fantasy football league. IDP stands for individual defensive player and if you haven’t tried it out yet, join an IDP league next year.
Justin Houston, LB, Kansas City Chiefs – Here’s a rookie outside linebacker that seemingly came out of nowhere this past week to record seven solo tackles and three sacks against the Chicago Bears. Houston won’t likely repeat that kind of performance again this season, but he could have good value in leagues that highly reward big plays (i.e. sacks, interceptions, forced and recovered fumbles). Other than Tamba Hali, the Chiefs haven’t had much of a pass rush the past few seasons, so having Houston rushing from the other side could be extremely helpful for the defense. If he continues to record around five or six solo tackles a game with also the chance to register sacks, look out for the former Georgia Bulldog to make a splash in IDP circles.
Larry Grant, LB, San Francisco 49ers – The former Ohio State Buckeye is likely going to start this week against Arizona Cardinals in place of the injured Patrick Willis who is suffering from a hamstring strain. Grant has mostly played special teams this season until last Sunday when he took over for Willis early on and ended with 5 solo tackles, one assist and one sack. Playing against Arizona isn’t an excellent matchup, but it could be a lot worse. Grant should play well in the shutout against the St. Louis Rams and would be a nice fill-in this week for Willis’ owners in deep leagues.

Week 13 IDP Waiver Pickups
As promised, here are three great linebackers that you need to pickup ASAP off the waivers. If you look close enough at the waiver wire and at the injury report, you will always find some good players, even if it is week 13 in your fantasy football IDP league. Here are the new, top three defensive players to pickup in IDP.
Week 13 IDP Waiver Pickups – Top 3 LBs
Perry Riley, LB, Washington Redskins – Here is a young linebacker getting the chance to play because he has excelled the past three games and has ousted a veteran for a starting job. Perry Riley is a former Louisiana State Tiger who is getting the chance to play because he recently beat out incumbent starter Rocky McIntosh for his inside linebacker spot. This is an enormous boost to Riley’s value as he has already proven to be a consistent tackler with 18 solo tackles and 16 assists the past three contests. He makes a great play especially in Week 13 against the Jets, and a viable IDP option the rest of the season.
Fantasy Football – IDP Week 12
Here are some new IDP waiver wire pickups for week 12 of fantasy football (2011-2012 NFL season). For the most awesome tweets and instant to your fantasy football questions, make sure to follow the IDP Pusher on Twitter @AndrewEggers and follow us on Twitter @fantasycouch
E.J. Henderson, LB, Minnesota Vikings – The nine-year veteran is a good player on a bad defense. He played a great game against the Oakland Raiders last week with nine total tackles and one sack. Henderson has two good matchups in Week 12 an 13 playing against the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos. Expect him to be the leading tackler on the team with also a chance for blitz opportunities, which means potential sacks and forced fumbles.
