NOW THROUGH SUPER BOWL SUNDAY: https://www.fantasypoints.com/plans#/ Week 17 is here, and IDP lineups can still be won or lost on the margins. In this episode of IDP Corner, we zero in on the defenders who matter most as championships come down to the wire. The show opens with a spotlight on elite linebacker anchors like Bobby Wagner and Zaire Franklin, before shifting to high-impact pass rushers such as Gregory Rousseau and the growing class of “unicorn” defensive backs who can swing matchups. From there, we break down reliable LB volume with Foye Oluokun, evaluate the Chicago Bears safety situation, and discuss DB options, including Nick Emmanwori and other steady secondary plays. The episode also covers veteran trench production from Cameron Jordan, rising linebackers like Tatum Bethune and Jamien Sherwood, plus matchup-based insight on Washington cornerbacks. We close with a focused Week 17 injury report to help you navigate late-week landmines and lock in your best possible IDP lineup.
