Week 14 IDP (GETTY)

#1 - Zack Baun

Zack Baun is having an incredible 2024 fantasy football season, ranking as the overall LB2 after finishing outside the top 100 linebackers in his first four seasons. He has finished among the top ten weekly linebackers seven times in 12 games this year, making him an elite option this week.

#2 - Budda Baker

Budda Baker has ranked among the top 15 defensive backs in eight of his 12 games this year, demonstrating his reliability. He has totaled 114 tackles and recorded two sacks in the three games on his way to being ranked as the overall DB2 this year.

#3 - Derwin James

Derwin James has been on fire in fantasy football in recent weeks after a relatively slow start to the season. He has been ranked as the DB1 and DB7 in his past three games. His dynamic contributions this year include 75 total tackles, three sacks and an interception.

#4 - Nakobe Dean

Nakobe Dean was unproductive for the Philadelphia Eagles in their first four games this year but has been much better lately. In eight games since their bye week, he has finished as the LB11 or better four times and is now up to the overall LB6 this year.

#5 - Jordyn Brooks

Jordyn Brooks has been one of the reasons why the Miami Dolphins defense has greatly improved in recent weeks. He has finished among the top 25 fantasy football linebackers in each of his past four games, with two of those being inside of the top ten.

#6 - Bobby Okereke

Bobby Okereke has increased his production recently after a slow start to the 2024 fantasy football season. After recording just one finish inside the top 20 linebackers across the first seven weeks, he has done so in three of his past four games with a favorable matchup against the run-first New Orleans Saints up next.

#7 - Ernest Jones

Ernest Jones has improved his fantasy football value since joining the Seattle Seahawks midseason. In five games with his new team, he has finished among the top 15 weekly linebackers three times.

#8 - Quay Walker

Quay Walker has been more dynamic in three games since the Green Bay Packers' bye week. During that time, he finished as LB9 and LB14, recorded both of his official defended passes and registered a sack in his most recent game.

#9 - DeMarvion Overshown

DeMarvion Overshown has been one of the breakout IDP stars of the 2024 fantasy football season. He went undrafted in most leagues this year but is ranked as the overall LB10 so far, with weekly finishes of LB1 and LB2 coming across his past four games.

#12 - Xavier McKinney

Xavier McKinney has increased his tackling output in recent weeks, setting single-game season-highs for total tackles in two of his past three games. He also has a league-leading seven interceptions this season, which could be valuable against Jared Goff in his Week 14 matchup.
