Quite a few units in the secondary underwhelming as of late. Speaking of, we do not sit the Chargers’ Derwin James, even if he had a down game in Week 16. His floor never really changes.
The Broncos’ Brandon Jones has to be the number one guy to start with the most upside this week, in any format.

Safety One-Liners…
It’s really tough to give the Falcons’ Jessie Bates any more upside than the formula gives.
Can’t trust the Rams’ Kamren Curl, Quentin Lake, and Kamren Kinchens all that much.
We have to have faith that the Seahaks’ Julian Love is going to bounce back if he didn’t cost us in the last round.
The Jets’ Chuck Clark will likely be pretty helpful off the waiver wire with T1 upside this week.
The Panthers’ Xavier Woods and Jordan Fuller look like the safest duo with T1 potential.
On paper, the Chiefs’ Justin Reid has a little more upside than he’s getting credit for this week. Thats if you looking deep of course.
It’s a tough IDP Week again this week across a few teams in quite a few positions. First, find your healthy stud or waiver wire pickup by matchup. And THEN roll with the guy who’s been most consented recently to split those final hairs on who to start.
Good Luck In Your Playoffs & Merry Christmas! We’ll see everyone again next week.
We’ve been super busy over here at the IDP+ and IDP+ Bets YouTube, so be sure to check all that out.
