Easy Like Sunday Morning: Week 6 Edition

The Colts started this season with one of the messiest depth charts at DE. Jabaal Sheard, Justin Houston, Al-Quaddin Muhammad, Kemoko Turay, and Ben Banogu. Sheard missed the first four games of the season. Back to full strength in Week 5 and Turay broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the season. It’s a tough break for the second-round sophomore. Sheard will be a UFA following the season. If he doesn’t resign look for Houston, Turay, and Banogu to headline this group next season.

IDP By The Numbers: NFC Week 5

Arizona Cardinals
1 – Game left on Patrick Peterson’s six-game PED suspension.
2 – Snap difference between safeties Jalen Thompson and Deionte Thompson. Supplemental rookie Jalen played 47 snaps, 70%. Fifth-round rookie Deionte (unrelated), played 45 snaps, 64%. Jalen got the start after Arizona released DJ Swearinger but they’re both going to play, capping each other’s value.

IDP Stock Market: Week 6 Edition

CB, Logan Ryan, Tennessee TitansOne of the best defensive backs in the league is off to a hot start this season. Ryan’s stock is on the rise, especially in position-specific leagues that require you to start corners. His ability and the Titan’s willingness to use him as a blitzer makes him so much more valuable. Logan already has 2.5 sacks on the season and is on pace to destroy his record of four, that he just set last season.

IDP Rookie Recap Week 4

Each week I will recap the top performances by this year’s rookie defenders. Some are well-known names, and others may come out of nowhere. Rookies are highly coveted in the dynasty community, but their value can be very volatile. In this series each week, we’ll look at their numbers and what impact they have. I also include 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. I like to target rookies that play 80% plus of the team’s defensive snaps. Let’s jump right into this week’s group.

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.
