All Access / By /

Now that the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft has concluded, I want to look at the values of all the defensive players, their landing spots, and what that could mean for us fantasy owners. How do they fit the team that drafted them? What kind of talent do they have around them? Will they make an impact right away or will they need time to find their role on the team? I’ll break all this down for you and get you ready for your fantasy drafts.

IDP Wrap Up: 2019 Defensive End

All Access / By /

No surprises here. The three top tier defensive ends are as talented as they are tenacious. Danielle Hunter lead all defensive ends in 2019, with Cameron Heyward and Joey Bosa nipping at his heels. Hunter and Bosa are only 24 years old, while Heyward is the grown man of the bunch at 30. Looking forward, I expect the two young superstar pass rushers (Bosa and Hunter) to consistently lead the league in IDP production for the next few years, barring injury.

IDP Stock Market: Week 5 Edition

Uncategorized / By /

S, Devin McCourty, New England Patriots
The ten-year veteran is off to one of his best starts to begin a season in his career. He’s leading the NFL interceptions (4) through the first four games of the season and has one in each game. This is the most he’s had in a season, since 2012, his third year in the league. While this pace won’t continue, I do expect him to continue to be an impact player in pass defense.

AFC West IDP Preview

Uncategorized / By /

Free agency and the draft are finished and though we are still three plus months from the beginning of the season teams are starting to resemble what they are going to be heading into the season. I’m going to go division by division breaking down the IDP relevant starters and some sleepers to keep on your watch list for training camp or dynasty stashes. Denver Broncos Defensive Coordinator: Ed Donatell 3-4 DefenseCoach Donatell has been coaching in college or the professional ranks since 1979. He has eight years of DC experience. He and HC Vic Fangio have been coaching together since 2011. Donatell has the DC title but Fangio will be heavily involved in the plan of attack.Their Chicago Bears sported the number three defense in yards per game. Their 3-4 typically produces very good ILB and safety tackle numbers.IDP Relevant Defensive Tackles: Shelby Harris, Dre’Mont Jones, Zach KerrHarris will not kill you at his current NT position. Unfortunately, he lacks the girth of a true run plugger. Jones also doesn’t fit the traditional mold. He is good with hands and he can create a decent initial burst. Yet, double teams could swallow both guys up and out of tackle contention. Do not be surprised if either end up moving to DE during the next offseason. Kerr seems to be the forgotten commodity that could fill the 3-4 NT role. At 330 pounds (sorry to sound stereotypical) it is still baffling to me that Kerr is listed as a DE on most sites. He should get snaps all over. IDP Relevant Defensive Ends: Derek Wolfe, Adam Gotsis, Wolfe has never had more than six sacks in a season. He does have okay tackle totals over the last five seasons. He has definitely slowed down over the last two years and you can expect a snap regression. Gotsis was a reserve during his rookie year. Since then he has strung together two decent seasons. Some may even whisper about him being a breakout candidate. It is time to remind the masses that you must be JJ Watt strong to be an IDP weapon as a 3-4 DE.

IDP Unsettled Depth Charts – AFC South

Uncategorized / By /

2019 OutlookThere’s a changing of the guard in Tennessee. Orakpo and Morgan have been the starting OLB duo since Orakpo joined the team in 2015. Morgan has been a starter since 2011. Orakpo has retired and Morgan is still a free agent. This season, it’ll be Landry and Wake to start. Landry could easily see 800 snaps and a solid jump in production. The question is how many snaps will Wake play. In Miami last season, Wake played 518 snaps over 14 games. If Wake maintains the relatively limited snaps, it opens an opportunity for one of the remaining guys on the depth chart. Correa is a former 2nd Round pick that didn’t work out in Baltimore. Traded to Tennessee for a 6th Rounder prior to last season, he built up a little hype in the preseason.

IDP Unsettled Depth Charts: NFC West

Uncategorized / By /

With Training Camp around the corner, it’s a good time to look at some undecided depth charts to see if there are a few IDP available who could produce this season and beyond.

Los Angeles ILB 2018 Stats
Additions: Clay Matthews – Signed 2-years, $5.5 million
Subtractions: Mark Barron – Released, signed with Pittsburgh; Ramik Wilson – Signed with Jacksonville
2019 Outlook: Last year, at this time, we were wondering who would start next to Barron at ILB for the Rams. Cory Littleton ended up breaking out in a huge way with 125 total tackles. This year, he is the unquestioned starter at ILB while we’re questioning who’s going to be standing next to him come Week 1.Barron missed the first four games of last season. In those games, Wilson primarily covered ILB but never topped 70% of snaps. Even when Barron got back on the field, he never topped 87% of snaps, as the Rams decided to remove him on passing downs for someone with a little more cover prowess. That’s where Christian entered the picture. A safety by trade, Christian would come in and play cover LB to the tune of almost 350 snaps over the course of the season. So who plays the majority of snaps next to Littleton this season? It’ll likely be a combination……………………………………………………………………….
