I'm feeling pretty damn good after last week's successful prediction rate of almost 70! And I'm looking to improve upon that percentage this week.FYI, I've recently added another section to my column called "The Untouchables." This part of the column lists players who are owned in a majority of leagues (Source: ESPN ) and are therefore not even worth mentioning in IDP Waiver Wire Articles. Because what's the point in suggesting players who probably aren't even available on your waiver wire! Obviously, the players on "The Untouchables" list will change from week to week depending on their ownership.Here are my IDP Waiver Wire recommendations for Week 13:DL"The Untouchables":Jared Allen (92)Julius Peppers (67)Elvis Dumervil (65)Justin Tuck (62)Trent Cole (62)Mario Williams (57) Osi Umenyiora (52) Robert Mathis (51)Andre Carter (49)Dwight Freeney (41)1. RDE Will Smith - I recommended Smith last week and produced for me by registering 1.5 sacks. Smith has a very juicy matchup this week against the Redskins Expect at least a sack and maybe more.2. LDE Shaun Ellis - I went against my normal thinking last week and recommended Ellis, a 3-4 defensive lineman, and he failed to produce. 
I'm not usually that keen on suggesting defensive lineman who play in a 3-4 defense, especially two weeks in a row. However, Ellis has the Bills this week who are the 3rd most sacked team in the NFL and I figure that the law of averages says that Ellis is bound to produce this week.3. RDT Jonathan Babineaux - This suggestion is for you IDPers who are required to start a DT. Babineaux has been fairly solid this year giving owners a good mix of tackles and sacks. He gets the Eagles this week, who have given up the 5th most points to defensive lineman the last 7 games.4.
RDE Jonathan Fanene - Fanene is taking over for Antwan Odom after Odom suffered a season-ending injury. As evidenced by Odom's production early in the season (8 sacks in 5 games), this spot has the potential to produce a fair amount of fantasy points. Fanene goes up against LT Jeff Backus this week, who has allowed 5 sacks in 11 games this season and the Lions, as a team, have given up the 3rd most sacks in the NFL If you need a one week plug-in, Fanene may be your guy.5. RDE Aaron Schobel - Schobel is facing the Jets this week and when he played the Jets in Week 6, he had 8 total tackles. Also, the Jets have given up the 2nd most points to defensive lineman over the last 7 weeks. Look for Schobel to have a solid game.The IDP Guru's Lock of the Week LDE Patrick Kerney - Kerney performed as expected last week against the Rams by going 4-0-1 This is what I love about Kerney: he's predictable. He usually gets the job done against bad pass-blocking teams.
