Rolling Waiver Wire WK7: Tipster’s IDP Targets
Welcome to the Tipster’s Rolling IDP Waiver Wire Targets tracker. Where he puts pen to paper and applies decades of fantasy football knowledge to work. We’ll never know what the Tipster is coming up with next to innovative fantasy football again. So sit back and let’s see what he has in store for us with his 2021 defensive player rolling waiver wire tracker tool. The Tipster loves to dive deep into the waiver wire for bye-week purposes when it really counts. So for the first few weeks, these defensive players may or may not be available in your league. It would all depend on the format and how deep the lineups are. With this said, here are some target options for this week’s waiver wire.
The Rule…
To mean anything to IDP fantasy football owners a player has to have consistency. And that is the one thing we need to figure out during our waiver wire process in this rolling chart. At least if we want more than a bye-week play. So we’re going to combined consistency with opportunity and resent success together. Along with player scenario and talent. With that said, here’s the rule of thumb every IDP owner should approach the waiver wire with. At least if you are wanting to dive deep and use the “vanilla” players at the same time.
” A Player has to be consistent enough for at least three weeks to consider holding on to them. And we do mean in a row performance that made an impact. No exceptions and no mercy in evaluations.”
It Matters
- Our target dates are results on Monday and the new Waiver Wire add-ons Tuesday.
- MSR: Position Match-Up Strength
- ROS: Rest Of Season Outlook
- A player that failed can always return to our list if the scenarios are right and they are worthy of starting the three-week cycle again.
- Watch for some ( * ) by player names. Some might deserve a follow-up located below the rolling waiver wire list.
- Going forward we will not give players a pass if a minor injury during a contest hurt their progress. 90% of the time they’ll never work out. And if they were to make an impact again we’ll simply add them back and start over. We run a tight ship when determining ROS results. And along the way find serviceable bye week and injury replacements as a bonus.
- Players are added after they catch our attention. So their week one is the week they just played and produced accordingly to catch that attention.
- Remember, we only add players that have at the least a solid MSR (Match-Up Strength) for the next contest. So if you were looking for names of overachievers from last weekend’s games. They likely didn’t make the cut on MSR or SCR (Snap Count Rating). Or even NFL life reasons that we’ll let play out.
Strategy Update
Now entering the portion of the season with bye-weeks we are changing things up. We need to have a deep list. And will now consider any IDP player with a lowish ownership rate according to ESPN and MFL fantasy football sites. And has a solid to strong MSR for the upcoming contest they are added to our list. We’ve rolled through some players and now we need to be able to recycle with what we’ve learned in many cases. If you were expecting to see a certain player on this list and isn’t. The odds are his scenario for the following contest isn’t right (enough) to be under consideration at this time. It’s all about getting the right plays at the right time now and not just based on a player’s consistency when the chips are down.

Roling Waiver Wire
[table “38” not found /]Follow-Ups
- Miami’s Safeties Jones and Holland are hot versus the MSR. There are enough snaps now for two weeks at 70% for Jones. And he is producing accordingly.
- Marcus Maye is a little risky since he has been out. More of a move for ROS, if he can stay healthy.
- Azeez Ojulari is more of an upside-designated edge rush play.
- Miami’s Seiler and Davis have a strong enough MSR that they do have a record of hitting when it’s right. Can we say deepish?
- Denver’s Harris is another one of those guys that can hit nicely when MSR is right.
- McKinney just doesn’t have a great outlook in production on paper this week. But his odds are pretty solid he can outperform the MSR this week.
- Werner is a gamble. Headed into the bye-week hot but with only two games to show for that hot streak. Risky play with decent upside in deeper formats.
IDP Waiver Wire I.R. Tracker
Why would we want to track defensive NFL players on injured reserves? There are a couple of good reasons off the top. First, at least in deeper formats. Managers knowing when a potential IDP producer is coming back into play can be sneaky. Players get dropped in some leagues that other injured players took priority.
This leads us to the second thing. And that’s in deeper formats or on rosters struggling to pick up a player off the waiver wire one week early. After all, we all can’t be first in line for the free agents each week. Putting managers way ahead of their league mates. Not to mention that if you miss out on that week’s active waiver wire options, you still have a viable target to stash.
It Matters
- No Covid Tracking.
- Not listed in any particular order within pick-up status.
- Be careful using a player directly off the waiver wire. Not always played 100% the first week back.
- Hot means the player is likely to have a role worth something coming off the wire sooner than later.
- A “Hottish” pick-up status indicates a move early has a “Hot” upside.
- Notable indicates likely low priority IDP Target for the waiver wire.
- Pick-up status henges on a player being activated by the team. Mr. Long will track that for you week to week.

[table “39” not found /]Did you Know…
A “breakout” player is a fantasy football person who has been ineffective or marginal in the past. Then suddenly becomes a fantasy football stud one year. A “sleeper” is a term used mostly during drafts. The term refers to players that fantasy managers believe are set to have a breakout season. The word “sleeper” comes from the idea the player is being overlooked. And so is their potential of breaking out that season. – Google
