DeMarcus Ware vs Seahawks - Somewhere in the Cowboys horrible loss to the Eagles, IDP fantasy owners with DeMarcus Ware were loving like as he posted four sacks. Another reminder of how talented this linebacker is, especially when you consider that the Eagles kept the football on the ground for the most part, with LeSean McCoy ripping through the defense for over 170 yards. This week the Seahawks come to to ...

Jerod Mayo @ Steelers - Don't be surprised if Jerod Mayo is back this week, but I'm not sure he will return to the stud linebacker, we watched last year, at least for IDP purposes. The Patriots will be using a decent amount of 4-3 scheme looks, and when they go to that setup, they tend to use Gary Guyton and move Mayo out of the middle. Navarro Bowman vs Browns - Coming off another strong performance, Navar ...

Daryl Washington vs Steelers - The Cardinals second year linebacker was slowed down early in the year with an injury, but it appears, he healthy and ready to produce like a regular starter. Last week middle linebacker Paul Posluzny had a monster game against the Steelers and I expect Washington to have success as Rashard Mendenhall will likely get over 20 carries again. Arizona has a long history of product ...

Patrick Willis / Navarro Bowman @ Eagles - If you're a little little disappointed by Patrick Willis thus far, you may continue to be throughout the year as fellow inside linebacker Navarro Bowman is making his presence felt in the 49ers defense. Still a worthy LB-1 play, Willis should continue to be a top ten linebacker through the entirely of the season, but Bowman is going to eat up some opportunities. Ro ...

D'Qwell Jackson vs Dolphins - Those that listened to me in the summer, hopefully were wise enough to take a shot on D'Qwell Jackson in the later rounds of their draft. Going as late as an LB-4, Jackson was one of the best IDP linebackers before injuries cost him most of the last two years. While health problems hurt Jackson's stock, it was the early rumors of him moving over to a weak-side linebacker and th ...

One star down in Jon Beason and another one is coming up in Desmond Bishop of the Packers. Theirs a reason why Green Bay felt comfortable letting go of Nick Barnett this off-season, and that is because they know Bishop is ready to continue his rampage on opposing offenses, like we saw last year and especially in the playoffs. Look to Bishop as a top five linebacker going forward, and he should continue to p ...

Another year of IDP fantasy football is getting started and star Patrick Willis is ready to dominate as he gets to face one of his favorite teams in the Seahawks. Look to Seattle quarterback situation as that helpless wounded fish in the water that can get away from a great white shark who's circling its prey. Willis will dominate in this one and should find his way to a sack as the 49ers should have succes ...

It looks like the main players are signed an in camp as the dust starts to clear from what has been a wild and crazy free agent frenzy over the past few weeks. With all the changes has come the inevitable re-rankings for IDP player values as we get set to march into another full year of IDP fantasy football. Defensive end, Charles Johnson was listed as the top lineman to acquire via free agency but ultimate ...

Moving closer to another NFL season, we have our IDP tier cheat sheet available to help you break down the top options at all three main positions for draft day. Our tiers are broken down in a color scheme which is simple to understand, as the colors change a new tier begins. Come back throughout the preseason to see updates on this cheat sheet, as re-rankings are constantly going on. I expect to have a new ...

Deeper into free agency we go, as free agents are ready to sign new deals as the lockout has come to pass. In part, one of my free agent trackers, I covered the notable signings and trades from Tuesday through Thursday. As I write this, teams now have the ability to sign their agreed contracts, and it looks like they will be able to finalize trades starting Saturday. While Nnamdi Asomugha was projected to b ...
