Let's not waste any time and get right to the Week 7 IDP waiver wire targets.

More Week 7 Waiver Wire Targets (NON-IDP)

Linebacker

Devin Lloyd, LB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Depending on your league size and IR spots, it’s possible Devin Lloyd was dropped, especially after his five-tackle dud in Week 3.

Lloyd had missed the last two weeks, but practiced in full and was active this week against the Colts. There was no easing Lloyd back from injury as he saw 97% of the snaps.

He didn’t seem too hampered or bothered by the past injury and finished with seven solo tackles, nine total. Here he makes a nice tackle on Zack Moss that results in no gain:

Although he didn’t grade well against the run, he was decent in coverage with two defended passes, while forcing two incompletions. He missed out on two interceptions.

Through four games, he’s recording an 11% tackle rate and the good sign was his usage coming off injury. If he’s available, he needs to be picked up if your league mates dropped him.
