NFL Week 8: Fantasy IDP report

• Kayvon Thibodeaux delivers a career-best game: The 2022 fifth-overall pick delivers a three-sack game, taking advantage of a great matchup.

• Jaelan Phillips is all the way back: Phillips’ breakout season is back on as he regains his high-end snap share and delivers his second-straight game with the production IDP managers were hoping for coming into the year.

• A trade between Seattle and New York: Leonard Williams moved to Seattle this week in the midst of a strong season, he should be able to help the Seahawks defensive line.

Week 8 Takeaways

Be sure to check out last week’s waiver wire targets here as well.

Waiver wire

ED Baron Browning, Denver Broncos: Browning has been making his mark since returning from injury and playing his first snaps of the year last week. Browning posted two sacks and six pressures this week after delivering four pressures on just 17 pass-rush attempts last week. Browning is currently working as a pass rush specialist for the Broncos but he has looked good doing so, making him an IDP option for deeper leagues.
DT Cameron Heyward, Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers’ top interior defensive lineman appears likely to return this week, which makes him a player who needs to be rostered in DT-required IDP leagues. Heyward has been one of the most productive interior defensive linemen in the past few seasons.
LB Jack Sanborn, Chicago Bears: Sanborn would play a full-time role if Tremaine Edmunds misses any time, making him a top waiver wire add with the assumption that Edmunds will miss at least one game.
LB Markquese Bell, Dallas Cowboys: Bell played more snaps coming out of the team’s bye week after playing fewer than 55% of defensive snaps in every game prior. Bell could be a potential deep-league option going forward because he’s played really well, earning a 90.0 defensive grade (first at the position) and 89.7 coverage grade (fifth) this season.
LB De’Vondre Campbell, Green Bay Packers: Campbell returned to the lineup for the first time since Week 3 and went on to lead the team in total tackles this week. Campbell is still playing slightly fewer snaps than Quay Walker but should be considered a solid starting IDP option in plenty of fantasy leagues.
LB Jahlani Tavai, New England Patriots: Tavai increased his workload significantly with Ja’Whaun Bentley out of the game. Tavai would have value as more of an LB3 type in Week 9 should Bentley miss that game.
LB Amari Burney, Las Vegas Raiders: Luke Masterson suffered an injury in the first half and did not return. The Raiders are already without Divine Deablo so the next man up turned out to be Amari Burney, who could be a potential add for deeper IDP leagues this week.
LB Leo Chenal, Kansas City Chiefs: Willie Gay exited this week’s game due to a tailbone injury and did not return. Chenal is likely to see his snap share increase, though, not an every-down role so he can be added more for deeper leagues.
S P.J. Locke, Denver Broncos: Kareem Jackson was suspended for two games after a hit to Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave in Week 7. Locke could be a fine one-week fill-in for deeper IDP leagues as an every-down player.
S Keanu Neal/Damontae Kazee, Pittsburgh Steelers: Both Neal and Kazee played increased roles with Minkah Fitzpatrick out, as neither has been a full-time player with Fitzpatrick in the lineup. Neal should be the more prioritized player for fantasy managers looking to take advantage of his strong usage in the box.
S Elijah Molden, Tennessee Titans: Molden stepped in as a full-time safety for the Titans with Kevin Byard shipped off to Philadelphia. Terrell Edmunds may see his workload increase as he gets more familiar with the team but Molden is the safer bet to trust at the moment.

Point of interest: While overall production was similar in this game, Nate Landman‘s efficiency has been much better than Kaden Elliss this season. Landman could be considered a better IDP option in the weeks ahead, even if he isn’t playing as many snaps, due to his greater overall efficiency on the year.

Terrel Bernard	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%	10.4%	7
Tyrel Dodson	62.7%	78.7%	21.1%	16.7%	7

Trending down: Tyrel Dodson emerged as the Bills' second linebacker this week, but it was not anywhere close to a full-time role, as the team opted to use a third safety (Taylor Rapp) on third and fourth downs versus a second linebacker. If this is going to be the scheme going forward, then Dodson will only be usable in the deepest IDP leagues.
Droppable: It was short-lived for Dorian Williams as a full-time linebacker in Buffalo, but he can be safely dropped in redraft leagues that added him off the waiver wire a couple of weeks ago.

SAFETY

Taylor Rapp	37.3%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	84.0%	16.0%

Point of interest: Taylor Rapp’s usage as a dime safety for Buffalo, which spent 37% in dime personnel this week as their linebacker situation has become an issue. Buffalo had previously spent just 4.8% of its defensive snaps in dime leading into this week. Rapp isn’t an IDP option with that usage, but it has freed up Jordan Poyer to play slightly closer to the line of scrimmage, which could be a positive for Poyer in IDP leagues.

Injury: Tremaine Edmunds left this game due to an apparent knee injury in the third quarter and did not return. Edmunds was working out on the sideline for the rest of the game, which could be viewed as a positive sign, but injury reports will be important to monitor in the week ahead.
Waiver wire: Jack Sanborn would play a full-time role if Edmunds misses any time, making him a top waiver wire add with the assumption that Edmunds will miss at least one game.

Jordan Battle	30.5%	5.6%	5.6%	27.8%	50.0%	5.6%

Trending down: Nick Scott has been a difficult IDP asset to trust this season as his snaps have fluctuated on multiple occasions throughout the first seven games. He, once again, dipped below 70% of defensive snaps for the third time this season while the team appears to have him on a short leash. The Bengals have yet to turn over to Jordan Battle in a full-time role, but there are clearly some signs that the move may come at some point, making Scott a shaky IDP asset at best going forward.

Point of interest: As expected, with Sione Takitaki back in the mix, the Browns did not have a true every-down linebacker as Anthony Walker went from playing 100% of Cleveland's snaps last week to just 74% here with Takitaki in the lineup. This rotation hurts all Cleveland linebacker options for IDP purposes.

Waiver wire: Markquese Bell played more snaps coming out of the team’s bye week after playing fewer than 55% of defensive snaps in every game prior. Bell could be a potential deep-league option going forward as he’s played really well, earning a 90.0 defensive grade (first at the position) and 89.7 coverage grade (fifth) this season.

Point of interest: Since the Cowboys starting safeties have all been healthy, there has been a clear rotation to allow all three of them play significant snaps. Jayron Kearse is getting the most ideal usage but played the fewest amount of snaps from the group this week after he led the group in Week 6. There was also garbage time in this game as the Cowboys had a sizable lead. Overall, playing time will be the biggest detriment to each of Dallas’ safety options for IDP purposes going forward.

Waiver wire: Baron Browning has been making his mark since returning from injury and playing his first snaps of the year last week. Browning posted two sacks and six pressures this week after delivering four pressures on just 17 pass-rush attempts last week. Browning is currently working as a pass rush specialist for the Broncos, but he has looked good doing so, making him an IDP option for deeper leagues.

Point of interest: Alex Singleton has held onto the team’s lone full-time linebacker role even with Josey Jewell returning to the lineup three weeks ago. Singleton had been one of the most efficient tacklers of the past few seasons by a large margin, but regression has finally caught up with him in 2023. While he’s still be above average in tackle efficiency for the year (14.4%), it isn’t near what he’s given IDP managers in years past.

Rookie watch: Jack Campbell continued in the team’s LB2 role this week, though, not to the same extent as he did last week. Campbell played 90% of Detroit's defensive snaps last week, half of which came on the edge. This week, his overall snap share dipped and he only played four defensive snaps on the edge. He’ll have better matchups to utilize in deeper IDP league starting lineups.

Rookie watch: Brian Branch played 100% of the team’s defensive snaps for the second time in his career. Branch had a relatively productive day with six total tackles and should he continue in an every-down role, he’ll be worth starting in most IDP leagues considering the usage.

Point of interest: Rashan Gary signed a significant four-year contract extension on Sunday and played a season-high 46 defensive snaps. This was a more difficult matchup for the Packers top edge rusher but his overall pass-rush metrics on the year and starter-level playing time is the main thing that will keep him in most IDP starting lineups going forward.

Waiver wire: De’Vondre Campbell returned to the lineup for the first time since Week 3 and went on to lead the team in total tackles this week. Campbell is still playing slightly fewer snaps than Quay Walker but should be considered a solid starting IDP option in plenty of fantasy leagues.

Trending up: Blake Cashman has been a top-five graded linebacker so far this season, but there were concerns about losing playing time with Denzel Perryman back in the mix this week. However, Cashman was the clear leader in snaps among the Texans linebackers, making him the safest bet for next week’s game.
Trending down: Both Perryman and Henry To’oTo’o cannibalized each other’s snaps this week, which is a concern for both options going forward, despite Perryman still having a really productive game for IDP purposes.
Droppable: For those that haven’t already, Christian Harris can be safely released to the waiver wire in most formats.

Point of interest: After calling for a couple of Josh Allen sacks this week (here), he delivered exactly that against a Steelers offensive line that was never going to be able to contain him. He now has nine sacks on the season and is just two shy of setting a new career high.

Point of interest: Aaron Donald breaks his three-game sack-less streak in this game by landing two on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Donald still owns a 90.7 pass-rush grade on the year and is a top-tier defensive tackle start for IDP.

Point of interest: Jaelan Phillips led the team’s edge defenders in snaps while leading the entire team in tackles (eight) and also landing a sack in this game. He is back to that top-end starter territory that we expected of him coming into the year.
Trending down: Andrew Van Ginkel’s role diminished to just 14 total defensive snaps in this game, with 12 of them on the edge. He did not affect David Long’s playing time at off-ball linebacker either, which leaves him as the IDP to lose significant value after this game.

Injury: Ja’Whaun Bentley left this game due to a hamstring injury during the second quarter and did not return.
Waiver wire: Jahlani Tavai increased his workload significantly with Bentley out of the game. Tavai would have value as more of an LB3 type in Week 9 should Bentley miss that game.

Meanwhile, Pete Werner continues his inefficient ways with a poor tackle rate again this week bringing him to 11.7% on the year (59th among LBs).

Point of interest: Kayvon Thibodeaux came up with a three-sack game this week, taking advantage of a great matchup, as highlighted in this past week’s IDP rankings article. Thibodeaux’s playing time has been about as high as IDP managers can ask for in order to deliver production, and now coming off his best pass-rush game of the year, he’ll be locked into most IDP lineups going forward.

Point of interest: Dexter Lawrence continues to be the most dominant nose tackle in the league this season as he moves to a 92.4 pass-rush grade on the year, which ranks as the best mark at the position. Lawrence also delivered an incredible 15 total pressures in this game,, which is the best mark in any game this year and the best mark in a game since 2014 when J.J. Watt was able to hit 15 against the Bills in Week 4 of that year.
Point of interest: Leonard Williams was traded to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday which will open up more snaps for A’Shawn Robinson along the Giants defensive line.

Point of interest: Quinnen Williams was unable to collect his first full sack of the season, stuck at just a half-sack through the first seven games of the season. This was a strong matchup for Williams to break through, and while he was productive, fantasy managers will want to see those snaps positively regress in the latter half of the year.

Injury: Jalen Carter left this game at the end of the first half and did not return due to an apparent back injury. It’s unclear how long he will be out but this is definitely one to monitor as Carter has been having a great rookie season thus far.

Nicholas Morrow	37.5%	37.5%	37.5%	3.7%	1

Trending down: Zach Cunningham was the lone every-down linebacker for the Eagles in Week 7 but saw his snap share decrease significantly in this game. Unfortunately, for IDP managers hoping to see an increase for Nakobe Dean, while he did play a season-high 50 snaps, that accounted for just a small percentage increase from last week’s 61%.

Sydney Brown	55.6%	5.0%	0.0%	20.0%	0.0%	80.0%

Point of interest: Kevin Byard made his Eagles debut and stepped right into an every-down role for the team.
Rookie watch: Eagles third-round rookie safety Sydney Brown played a new role this week as he worked primarily as the team’s nickel corner, which allowed him to be productive with eight tackles on the day. He’ll likely need to lock that role down full-time before IDP managers can consistently trust him in lineups.

Waiver wire: The Steelers’ top interior defensive lineman Cameron Heyward appears likely to return this week which makes him a player that needs to be rostered in DT-required IDP leagues. Heyward has been one of the most productive interior defensive linemen in the past few seasons.

Injury: Minkah Fitzpatrick left this game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return. With the Steelers playing on a short week, Fitzpatrick should be considered a long shot to play in Week 9.
Waiver wire: Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee both played increased roles with Fitzpatrick out as neither has been a full-time player with Fitzpatrick in the lineup. Neal should be the more prioritized player for fantasy managers looking to take advantage of his strong usage in the box.

Point of interest: Nick Bosa didn’t leave the field in this game, playing 100% of snaps a la Maxx Crosby. Bosa was only able to come up with a half-sack but a workload like that will lead to much more productive games to the delight of IDP managers.

Point of interest: The Seahawks traded for Leonard Williams from the New York Giants on Monday. Williams has earned a 77.2 pass-rush grade this season, which is currently a career-best mark in his nine NFL seasons. Expect Williams to play in all situations for the Seahawks defensive line which should allow him to continue being a strong volume play for IDP leagues.

Trending down: After Seattle leaned heavily on three safeties for the entirety of Week 7, they continued to do so in Week 8, but not nearly enough to trust Julian Love on a consistent basis for IDP. Jamal Adams also had his snap share decrease this week.

Rookie watch: Calijah Kancey played a season-high in defensive snaps this week (41) with Vita Vea out. Kancey delivered the best pass-rush grade of his career in this game as well, which was the best mark on the Tampa Bay defense in Week 8.

Waiver wire: Elijah Molden stepped in as a full-time safety for the Titans with Kevin Byard shipped off to Philadelphia. Terrell Edmunds may see his workload increase as he gets more familiar with the team but Molden is the safer bet to trust at the moment.

Point of interest: With Cody Barton on injured reserve, Jamin Davis played an every-down role, though he was remarkably ineffective with those snaps, managing just a 3.2% tackle efficiency on the day. David Mayo, a waiver wire target from last week, was the more productive player on a slightly smaller workload.
