T.J. Watt's standout performance in Monday Night Football showcased the potential of individual defensive players in fantasy leagues, helping many managers secure victories. As Week 9 approaches, several defensive players are recommended for waiver wire pickups, including linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs.
Notable pickups include Nakobe Dean from the Philadelphia Eagles and Ernest Jones IV from the Seattle Seahawks, both of whom are producing solid tackle numbers. Players like Will McDonald IV and Azeez Ojulari are also highlighted for their potential impact on their respective teams.
As the season progresses, managers are encouraged to consider these players to strengthen their fantasy rosters.
