Trending Up: Danielle Hunter (DE, MIN)

After a disappointing start to the season, many people were starting to doubt Danielle Hunter and were placing him among the biggest IDP Busts of 2017. After all, with an increased number of snaps and playing alongside one of the league’s most successful edge rushers in Everson Griffen, what could Hunter possibly have as an excuse not to play similarly to the way he did in 2016. While his season has been underwhelming thus far, it seems as if he may be turning a corner and possibly playing more like a version of himself that we saw last year. Hunter now has sacks in two of his last three games and he forced a fumble against Cleveland in the game he didn’t take down the quarterback. With a favorable schedule to finish the season, patient Hunter owners that have held him throughout the season may finally be getting rewarded soon.

 

Trending Down: Julius Peppers (DE, CAR) 

It seems as if Father Time may finally be catching up with 37-year-old Julius Peppers. The Panthers veteran lineman’s snap counts have been dwindling throughout the end of October into November, as Peppers was only on the field for 22 of the Panther 55 defensive plays on Monday night. Peppers may need the Panthers current bye week to rest his body’s aches and pains as much as possible if he hopes to see an uptick in snaps alongside fellow defensive ends Mario Addison and Charles Johnson.

Trending Up: De’Vondre Campbell (WLB, ATL)

Ever since Falcons rookie linebacker Duke Riley tore his meniscus in week 7 against the Patriots, De’Vondre Campbell has used his additional playing time to excel in Atlanta’s defense. Before Riley’s injury, Campbell was hovering around 75-80% of snaps every week, but in the last month, he has been on the field for almost every snap for the Falcons. Campbell posted his best game of his career this past Sunday, with 13 total tackles against the Cowboys.

 

Trending Down: A.J. Klein (MLB, NO)

Even before injuring his ankle against the Bills on Sunday, Klein was a player that seemed like an anomaly among fellow linebackers. Klein had played every single snap for the Saints prior to week 10, but his impact in the box score always seemed underwhelming. Now that Klein is injured and is being substituted for Manti T’eo, who led the Saints with six total tackles on Sunday, Klein’s value has sunk even further until he can possibly come back to the field. Even then, he may be a player that should just stay on waivers until he is a proven producer on the field.

Trending Up: Antoine Bethea (FS, ARI)

The Cardinals have been facing injury after injury this season and last Thursday night was no exception as Tyvon Branch, one of the top IDP safeties this season, suffered a season-ending ACL tear against the Seahawks. Arizona will rely upon veteran Antoine Bethea and rookie second-round pick Budda Baker to fill the hole left by Branch, and both possess value moving forward. The Cardinals defensive scheme has always seemed to produce high-scoring, playmaking defensive backs, and either Bethea or Baker now have the chance to become a weekly DB1 in the right role.

 

Trending Down: Justin Simmons (SS, DEN)

This may seem like an odd suggestion after Simmons just racked up 10 total tackles and a sack against the Patriots on Sunday night, but Justin Simmons and the Broncos now face a tough remaining schedule of opponents in regards to IDP scoring the next few weeks. After taking advantage of a positive matchup against New England, Simmons now will face the Bengals, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, and Colts over the next five weeks, teams who have not been kind to opposing defensive backs in terms of tackles. If your trade deadline has not yet passed in your league, you may want to see if you can get any value out of Simmons coming off of his huge performance against the Patriots.
