Aldon Smith @ Seahawks - It took Aldon Smith a few games into his rookie year to make an impact for the 49ers, but since his breakout game week four against the Eagles, Smith has gone on to post 13 sacks in the past 11 games. In that time, Smith has only failed to post a sack in three games, and he has five and a half sacks in his last three games. A hobbled Ben Roethlisberger felt the wrath of Smith, and h ...

Colin McCarthy vs. Saints - Since filling in for Barrett Ruud, the Titans middle linebacker of the future Colin McCarthy has played like a LB-1 of late. In what should be another solid mathcup, McCarthy will likely surpass 10 total tackles as the Saints figure to dominate in time of possession, giving McCarthy more opportunities to make plays. We've seen the Titans middle linebacker position put up some goo ...

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 ...

Start'em DL : Cullen Jenkins vs Bears - If you've paid attention at all to how the Eagles are playing in recent weeks, it's clear to see they've corrected many of their early-season problems, and are ready to make a run in the NFC East. If not for a blow coverage play for a 70-yard touchdown to Laurent Robinson, the Eagles had a chance to pitch a shutout against a healthy Cowboys offense. Philadelphia's def ...

James Anderson @ Falcons - With Jon Beason and Thomas Davis gone for the season, James Anderson is putting together another respectable year for IDP fantasy owners. A couple of weeks ago we saw David Hawthorne and Leroy Hill both put up solid days against the Falcons. Paul Posluszny vs Steelers - Going back and watching video of the Jaguars in recent weeks, it's clear that Paul Posluszny is getting comforta ...

While I have my issues with James Laurinaitis's fantasy value around the web and in this ADP listing, I can't deny that he has the potential to be a top ten linebacker for IDP fantasy football leagues. Furthermore, for the most part, the ADP values below, brought to you from My Fantasy League, are a decent look at what you can expect at your IDP draft, for Big Play leagues. Sure, you'll see some bone head ( ...

Wanted to take some time to break down the recent ADP results and trends as listed on MyFantasyLeague.com's website based on mock drafts and read drafts from their site. I will be posting a breakdown for not only the overall ADP values but three other specific articles for defensive lineman, linebackers and defensive backs. From what I can tell, it looks like most of the draft results, these values are base ...

While Rey Maualuga didn't have a strong sophomore season, his projected switch to middle linebacker will make him a breakout sleeper to acquire at your IDP fantasy football draft. Former middle linebacker Dhani Jones (free agent) posted over 110 tackles each of the past three seasons, and with the added athleticism of Maualuga, this could make for an exciting season, for owners with this young talent. Comin ...

The Houston Texans are set to change their defensive scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 as Wade Phillips takes over as the new Defensive Coordinator. With this change, star strong-side linebacker Brian Cushing is projected to lineup with DeMeco Ryans as an inside linebacker, which will help him continue to be a force in IDP fantasy football leagues. While I've seen Cushing ranked outside the top 25 linebackers for ...
