2012 Experience: 6th Season
IDP Fantasy Football Outlook: Three games missed, who gives a flip as Desmond Bishop still posted 90 solos and 5 sacks. Because of his big play upside from the inside and his high solo marks, Bishop is likely to be the first linebacker off the board in your league.
The Packers defense has its issues and opportunity should be there for Bishop as he is good in pass protection, and with teams forced to throw to keep up on the scoreboard, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bishop posts up to six sacks this year.
Likely won’t happen, but Bishop is the type of linebacker you want to target as one of the early IDP players to come off the board because of his consistency and big play upside.

Summer of 2011: Fantasy Projections
There is a reason why the Packers are going to let Nick Barnett go in free agency, and it’s because of the terrific play of Desmond Bishop last season. Bishop became a true waiver wire success as he had some big games for IDP leagues and maintained steady production to make him a weekly option for tackle heavy leagues.
Like most inside linebackers, Bishop won’t be the electric play-maker like outside rusher Clay Matthews, but he will be the better tackle option as the defense is design to funnel the play his direction. For tackle heavy leagues it is worth looking to Bishop as at least a top twenty five linebacker as he is sure to have another strong year.
