Week 17 IDP Waiver Wire Pickups (2024 Fantasy Football)

Week 16 is now in the books. There are numerous storylines to track, but perhaps the most significant is the overlooked IDP players who showed out in Week 16. There were a lot of defensive fireworks in Week 16, so there are more than a few intriguing names on the waiver wire in leagues of all sizes. Let’s take a look at some of the names that may be worth some of your free agent budget.

Week 17 IDP Waiver Wire

Linebacker

Blake Cashman (LB – MIN): 6% rostered on Yahoo
Cashman rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him despite the tough on-paper matchup, going off for nine solos, three assists, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended. Cashman has caught fire and should be treated as a top-15 option for Week 17 despite the tough on-paper matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Add and start Cashman everywhere.

Christian Harris (LB – HOU): 1% rostered on Yahoo
Harris was excellent in Week 16, tallying five solos, two assists, one sack, and one tackle for loss. Harris is set to get another start this week with Azeez Al-Shaair serving the last game of his suspension and should be on rosters where needed, even if it is just as injury depth for someone like Eric Kendricks. Add and start Harris as an LB3 with LB2 upside for a plus Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
