Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 12

Finding productive players for next week’s fantasy football line-ups involves identifying emerging young players and spotting the “next man up” due to injury or transaction. Week 11 is no different. Players leaving the field with injuries sustained in Week 11 include Demarcus Lawrence, Dee Ford, Justin Reid, Morgan Burnett, and Tracy Walker.  Myles Garrett and Larry Obunjobi are likely to miss the Browns’ next game for harm potentially inflicted rather than injuries sustained.

IDP Rookie Recap Week 8

Each week I will recap the top performances by this year’s rookie defenders. Some are well-known names and others come out of nowhere. Rookies are highly coveted in the dynasty community, but their value can be very volatile at times. In this series each week, we’ll look at their numbers and what impact they have. I am also including their snap counts and percentage of snaps. These snap counts can tell us a lot about how much a player is being used and the opportunities they have to make plays.

IDP Stock Market: Week 9 Edition

S, Taylor Rapp, Los Angeles Rams
Three weeks ago starter John Johnson went down with a season-ending injury. The question was who would fill that void? I had a good feeling that Rapp would be that guy, as he had played well in a limited role, so I wanted to see how he would be used in a larger role. In the two weeks since Johnson’s injury, Rapp has registered eighteen tackles, with fourteen being solos.

IDP By the Numbers: NFC Week 8

14 – Total tackles by Budda Baker. Since DJ Swearinger Sr. was released, Baker has moved back to SS while the two Thompsons took over FS. The two Thompson dynamic is fluid, making both impossible to trust. Fifth-round rookie Deionte Thompson dropped from 90% of snaps in Week 7 to 43% in Week 8. Supplemental draft rookie Jalen Thompson jumped from 10% of snaps in Week 7 to 53% in Week 8.
