More Week 5 Waiver Wire Targets (NON-IDP)
The waiver wire will be even more important as we continue to search for defenders to add to our rosters. Here are your IDP targets for waiver wire as we head into Week 5.
Linebacker
Nathan Landman, LB, Atlanta Falcons
With Troy Andersen out for an extended period of time, possibly the season, it’s time to consider the new LB2 in Atlanta.
I can’t believe we’re at the "recommending Nathan Landman" portion of the 2023 season at Week 5. Landman turned in a decent game and graded seventh among Atlanta defenders according to PFF. Landman appeared in 82% of the snaps (54) and was all over the field. Landman recorded six of his 10 tackles in the first half.
Here, he doesn’t do anything too cute. He reads the play and hits the gap to make the tackle:
Overall, he’d record an 18.5% tackle rate and missed one tackle attempt. He was solid in coverage and even though he would allow all three targets to be caught, he allowed just two yards after the catch.
You’ll want to pick up Landman if you’re in need of a full-time LB with injuries and bye weeks looming.
