This week's waiver wire recommendations focus on defensive players who can help bolster fantasy teams during the playoffs.
Standout performers include Edgerrin Cooper from the Green Bay Packers, who has stepped up significantly after an injury, and Micah McFadden from the New York Giants, known for his tackle-heavy play.
Other notable mentions are Nik Bonitto from the Denver Broncos, who is making a strong case for Defensive Player of the Year, and Derek Stingley Jr. of the Houston Texans, who has been excelling in interceptions.
