IDP Fantasy Football Outlook: I don’t blame you if you’re not a huge fan of Julius Peppers for IDP purposes. It’s not that he’s an un-productive player but more that many new comers into IDP tend to look for star players like Peppers and may take him a little higher than his value shakes out to be. Peppers is a good IDP option but his tackle numbers can move up and down from year to year.
For the most part, you can look to Peppers as a safe bet as a defensive lineman because you know he should give you at least close to double digits in sacks, make plays around the field, and he will get you at least 40 tackles and up to the mid 50 as he did a year ago. I’m not sure if Peppers is in a perfect situation with the Bears in a Tampa-2 defense, but it’s probably one of the better ones to ensure he can continue to make big plays as the Bears will stay competitive and should win more than lose once again in 2011. Look to Peppers as a worthy top ten defensive lineman and a regular every week starter throughout the season.

2010 IDP Fantasy Football Outlook
For all of Julius Peppers accomplishments it seems people have mixed reviews when thinking of him as a truly dominant player. For IDP you can take it to the bank that he will produce solid numbers and they are especially good in Big Play IDP leagues. This season I expect Peppers to have one of his best years of his career as he should bring energy to the Bears defense. In a pass heavy division, Peppers should see plenty of opportunities to sack the quarterback and make plays.
