Trending Up: Brandon Graham (DE, PHI)
Philadelphia is home to one of the league’s hottest linemen at the moment. Brandon Graham has been on fire since the Eagles returned from bye in week 11. In three games, Graham has recorded 3.5 sacks in addition to 14 total tackles for the Eagles. With matchups against the Rams, Giants, and Raiders over the next three games, Graham could be a game changer for teams looking to win a fantasy crown.
Mark Barron leads the Rams defense against a tough schedule to finish the rest of the season.

Trending Up: Mark Barron (ILB, LAR)
In two of the next three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will have matchups against defenses that are allowing the sixth and seventh most points to opposing linebackers over the course of the season, in games against Tennessee and Philadelphia. Mark Barron will be the team’s primary beneficiary from these matchups while Alec Ogletree recovers from an elbow injury. If Ogletree is a late scratch this week for the Rams, Bryce Hager could be worth a deep look in leagues that start four-to-five linebackers if no other options are available.
Desmond King has been one of the league’s best defensive rookies over the past month of play.

Trending Up: Desmond King (CB, LAC)
Desmond King, one of my favorite rookies this year coming into the NFL Draft, is emerging in the second half of his rookie campaign and garnering attention across the league. In just the Chargers last five games, King has recorded three sacks, 23 solo tackles, and returned his first career interception for a touchdown. If King can continue his solid play throughout December, he could help the Chargers claim the AFC West division.
