IDP Stock Market: Week 4

Uncategorized / By /

OLB, Shaq Barrett, Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe five-year pro, from Colorado State, is one of the hottest names in IDP right now. In his previous four seasons, all with the Denver Broncos, he never had more than six sacks in a season. His career-best of five and a half came in his rookie season. After his rookie contract expired, the Broncos decided to go in a different direction. The Buccaneers stepped up and took a chance on him and signed him to a one year $4 million deal. The return for them so far has paid off big time!

IDP By the Numbers: NFC Week Three

Uncategorized / By /

Atlanta Falcons169 – Snaps played by Keanu Neal in 2019. A season after suffering a torn ACL, Neal’s season ends in week three with a torn achilles. It’s just devastating. Before the two injuries, Neal was seen by some as the dynasty S1. Last season, Ricardo Allen replaced Neal at SS with Damontae Kazee replacing Allen at FS. Then Allen went down and it became a huge mess. Kazee is currently the nickel CB and it would likely be difficult for him to play both nickel CB and FS. Kemal Ishmael logged 39 snaps, 55%, after not playing a single defensive snap in week two. He’s the likely replacement for Neal. But the Falcons like Kazee as a playmaker, so it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibilities to see Kazee play safety in base packages and move into the slot for sub-packages with Ishmael limited to sub-packages. This situation will need to be watched going forward.

IDP Rookie Recap Week 2

Uncategorized / By /

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. I like to target rookies that play 80% plus of the team’s defensive snaps. Let’s jump right into this week’s group.

Rather than doing a full, 5,000-word snap count thread every week, we’re going to simplify things a little bit. You don’t need me to tell you Bobby Wagner is playing 100% of snaps every week. So we’re just going to hit on the important numbers and any trends we’re starting to see.
Baltimore Ravens
1 – Total tackles between Baltimore’s Chris Board and Kenny Young combined. Board was on the field for 15 snaps while Young played 17 snaps.

So we’re just going to hit on the important numbers and any trends we’re starting to see.Arizona Cardinals1,336 – Snap pace for Jordan Hicks and DJ Swearinger. Expecting 16 games from Hicks is a mistake and the pace will slow down without more OT games. Antoine Bethea led the Cardinals with 1,111 snaps last season. Typically there are a few players who top 1,100 snaps every season. Hicks and Swearinger being on pace for 1,300 snaps, would mean they would play almost four more games’ worth of snaps than the typical highest seasonal snap total.

Trio of Cyclones

Devy / By /

The Iowa State Cyclones have a trio of linebackers that should be on your devy radars. This group complements each other extremely well and all three play a different style. To see a team with three linebackers where each could be the lead dog for their defense is uncommon. That is the fortunate situation that the Cyclones find themselves having right now. I have been watching a lot of film and games on these guys and all three are legit playmakers. Let’s take a closer look at these three tremendous players.
