The player I can’t leave my draft without is Zach Cunningham. While a bit of an obvious choice, I want to make sure everyone is aware of who he is and the situation that surrounds him. I want to start off and preface that it is nearly impossible to predict fumbles, interceptions, and touchdowns. This is where a lot of the big points in IDP leagues come from. What’s one thing that is predictable? Tackles. This is precisely why there is an emphasis on getting a good linebacker for your team.

We learned that the young star linebackers were prepared to dominate once again! Both Roquan Smith and Devin White came into 2020 with extremely high expectations, and both delivered with resounding success. These two superstars combined for 280 total tackles (140 each), 32 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks on the season. Finishing just behind these two phenoms was a trio of consistent veterans in Zach Cunningham, Blake Martinez, and Joe Schobert. Barring any major unforeseen changes, the 2020 top five should produce well again in 2021.

WHAT WE LEARNED THIS WEEK Vegas baby! After relinquishing an average of 32 points per game through their first six games, the Raiders’ defense has tightened up significantly over their last three showings. Since the start of November, Las Vegas has given up less than 15 points per game. On Sunday, the unit intercepted Drew Lock four times, sacked him twice, and recovered a fumble on the way to a rout of the Broncos. IDP studs on the day were Nick Kwiatkoski, Nicholas Morrow, Jeff Heath, and Maxx Crosby. In a surprisingly close early game on Sunday, the Jacksonville defense stymied Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense for much of the day. Although they ended up taking a loss, the DST produced an interception, a fumble recovery, a sack, and returned a kick for a touchdown in their efforts at Lambeau Field. IDP-wise, Sidney Jones had a great game and rookie DT DaVon Hamilton flashed some promise. The LA Rams demolished the Seahawks’ high flying offense in a massive divisional tilt last Sunday. In the victory, Los Angeles created six sacks and three turnovers while surrendering a meager 16 points. In a league of star mobile quarterbacks, it looks like the Rams defense may have what it takes to succeed and even thrive. Players able to score major IDP points for LA this week include Leonard Floyd, Micah Kiser, and Darious Williams.
