Yahoo currently has him ranked 95th among DBs, making him an afterthought in most drafts.

Whether it’s Tykee Smith’s tackle upside, Jaden Hicks’ splash plays, or Demani Richardson’s strong finish, each name on this list has league-winning potential.
Stay tuned for upcoming IDP sleeper breakdowns for defensive linemen and linebackers. But for now, load up on these DB values and let your league mates chase names while you stack production.
