Week 2 Fantasy Football IDP: 5 Sleeper Linebackers

Levy is leading the Lions in tackles right now and he is suddenly one of the more experienced members of the team’s defenses. Carolina will have to continue to run the ball in order to be successful, which will only give Levy more chances to make plays on the ball. I expect Levy to at least finish with eight hits in Week 2.

Lofton racked up 10 hits in the season opener, but yet he continues to fly under the radar. He luckily faces a run-heavy Cleveland squad and the veteran backer will easily rack up another eight hits this Sunday.

Roach was inactive in Week 1 due to a concussion, and as a result, many will be concerned about his availability in Week 2. He seems healthy, though, and should be ready by game time. Houston loves to run the ball, so expect Roach to amass plenty of tackles this weekend.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. HOU)

Riley isn’t a superstar by any means, but he knows how to wrap up and is a pretty reliable tackler. He will be very active against a lackluster Jacksonville offense this week, so pencil in the veteran for another six-plus tackles this week.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. JAC)

Matthews has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, but he seems healthy for the first time in years. Green Bay hosts a struggling Jets offense and Matthews stands a chance to rack up at least one sack this Sunday.
