Week 17 IDP Sleepers: Veteran Takeo Spikes Still Brings the Heat

There weren't any scrubs in my Week 16 selections this week, and one of the linebackers I recommended -- Lions MLB DeAndre Levy -- contributed the highest-scoring week of any fantasy LB by returning a Chad Henne interception 30 yards for the game-winning score.
