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 ...

Justin Tuck @ Cowboys - The former DL-1 stud put up another five tackle performance against the Packers last week, and he finally found his way to the quarterback for the first time in over a month. No, I wouldn't go as far as to say that Tuck had the kind of performance that would make me believe he's a DL-1 play going forward, but he's worthy of using in your lineup. What I can say is that Tuck probably l ...

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, ...

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 ...

Richard Seymour vs Browns - The Raiders stepped it up toward the end of the game vs the Texans and Richard Seymour was right in the mix with five tackles, two sacks and two pass deflections throughout. No one should doubt Seymour's abilities to be a productive IDP option, but more that his health problems are concerning through a full season. This week should be another special game against the Browns as Ra ...

Start'em Tamba Hali- The Chiefs picked up their first win of the season last week and in part thanks to Tamba Hali's seven tackles and two sacks on Donovan McNabb. Hali has at least one sack in three of his first four games and has at least six tackles in each game. Look for Hali to have another big game against the Colts as young quarterback Curtis Painter, struggles when pressure is applied. D.J. Williams ...

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 ...

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 ...

With all the success Justin Tuck and Ndamukong Suh had last season it's easy to forget that Jared Allen and Trent Cole are still terrific No.1 defensive linemen to draft. Allen has been the unquestioned No.1 pick at this position for awhile but his slow first half was frustrating, but to his credit, he had a great second half. At the end of the day, fantasy owners expect the world from a player tiered as th ...
