Mark Anderson vs. Dolphins - With Andre Carter lost for the season, expect Mark Anderson to see an up tick in his snap count, as he came through with another great performance against the Broncos with two sacks, a forced fumble and a recovery. With the Dolphins coming to town, Anderson should have at least a DL-2 worthy performance as Tom Brady should build up a lead, and allow Anderson to focus on getting ...

Elvis Dumervil @ Vikings - Finally, the stretch of games we've been waiting for from Elvis Dumervil as put up over one sack in each of his past two games, and at least half a sack in the past four weeks. Looking healthy, Dumervil may be counted on as the teams top pass rusher this week, if Von Miller can't play because of thumb surgery, the Broncos will need their star defensive end to continue playing at a ...

Chris Clemons vs. Redskins - In the world that is defensive linemen, a good pass rusher can have a horrible stretch of games, but he's only one matchup away from an explosion and that was the case for Chris Clemons last week. Clemons was actually on my sit'em list last week, not because of his tasty matchup against the Rams, but more because of his failure to get much done in recent weeks. Like Jason Babin, ...

Justin Tuck @ Patriots - For all the success Justin Tuck had a year ago, the big man has had a hard time playing at full speed with lingering injury problems this year. Tuck finally returned to action last week but failed to get much done as he only totaled one tackle but did pick up half a sack. The Giants head out to New England to face an opponent they know very well, as Tom Brady was harassed by Tuck an ...

Chris Clemons vs Bengals - Last year Chris Clemons seemingly broke out of nowhere as he was basically an irrelevant defensive linemen for IDP fantasy until he won a starting job with the Seahawks. Sure, Clemons did have eight sacks with the Raiders back in 2007, but he was basically used one passing downs and totaled a mire 20 tackles on the season. Not only did Clemons post a career high eleven sacks last ...

Elvis Dumervil @ Dolphins - Expectations were high for Elvis Dumervil as the Broncos were set to move back to a 4-3 defensive scheme which meant the veteran would move back to defensive end. In his first quarter of action this season, Dumervil suffered a shoulder injury against the Raiders, and his snaps and play haven't been up to standards. Look for Dumervil to get things going this week in Miami as he wi ...

Will Smith @ Jaguars - After serving a two-game suspension Will Smith came back against the Texans and posted six tackles. This week he should pickup his first sack of the year going against a rookie quarterback in Jacksonville. The Saints will get off to a big lead early allowing Smith and company room to blitz, and that is exactly why I have Smith as a top ten option and Sedrick Ellis as a top thirty line ...

Trent Cole vs Giants Linemen come and linemen go but one of the more consistent top producers in IDP fantasy football has been Trent Cole of the Eagles. I had to laugh when Cris Collinsworth kept questioning on TV, asking how long would the Falcons let one guy beat them, and that player was Cole. In reality, with the Eagles adding linemen like Cullen Jenkins and Jason Babin, it's hard to focus on one great ...

Well, that was one heck of a start for Terrell Suggs against the Steelers and it didn't seem to matter if you had him starting as a defensive linemen or a linebacker, the dude just dropped the sizzle shake on Big Ben all day. Coming into week two I have Suggs ranked as the top linemen on our list as he gets another tasty matchup against the Titans and immobile Matt Hasselbeck. Look for Suggs to steam up the ...

It's all about the Giants pass rush this week as they head out to Washington to take on the Redskins. The Giants own this team, and second year defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is a must start and a likely DL-1 producer this week in any scoring format. JPP has ridiculous ability and with the starting job in hand, this youngster will build off his impressive preseason with a strong week one. Veterans Justin T ...
