With the NFL season past the halfway point, many seasonal teams are starting to check out. That means you&#8217;ll have less competition to compete with and maybe even a dropped player that you could use on defense. That being said, let&#8217;s get to the Week 12 IDP Waiver Wire, so that you can slay your competition. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 12 IDP Waiver Wire<\/h2>\n<h3>LB Dee Winters, San Francisco 49ers<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255267\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-255267\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/USATSI_27205687_168419650_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-255267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Kyle Terada-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After Tatum Bethune went down last week, Dee Winters had the entire field to himself as he recorded 10 total tackles against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Cardinals<\/a>.
