Brandon Flowers vs Dolphins - Maybe the Dolphins won't put the football up in the air like the Chargers did last week, and it's likely that Matt Moore won't play as bad as the Raiders quarterbacks two weeks ago, but Brandon Flowers is hot. Two weeks ago Flowers posted two interceptions and a touchdown only to follow it up with four solo tackles and four pass deflections against the last week. One thing I do ...

Yeremiah Bell @ Giants - Not much is going right for fantasy owners with players on the Dolphins, but Yeremiah Bell continues to be a tackling machine. While Bell won't make many big plays, he will be a regular DB-1 because of his consistent opportunities to make plays. Linebacker Karlos Dansby has picked up his play in recent weeks, but Kevin Burnett has continued to struggle on the inside, so expect Bell ...

Troy Polamalu vs Jaguars - I've never been a big Troy Polamalu fan when it comes to IDP leagues, because I tend to like guys who post high tackle numbers, and Polamalu has had problems staying healthy. Still, this wild hair has put together a strong season and should be viewed as a top ten defensive back when healthy for IDP lineups. One thing I've never doubted about Polamalu is his ability to make big pla ...

LaRon Landry @ Rams - We all know how good LaRon Landry was before his Achilles injury cost him the final month and a half of the 2010 season. Landry missed the first two games of the year, but was back in action against the Cowboys. I'm sure IDP owners with Landry were salivating at watching him blow up Cowboy receivers and his explosion off the edge when he rushed the passer. It's time to get Landry in yo ...

Sean Jones vs Falcons- So far, so good for safety Sean Jones as he's put together start-worthy numbers in the first two weeks of the season. Who knows if he will keep this going but Jones is likely to be on the field a decent amount against the Falcons, and I fully expect them to hammer this defense with Michael Turner. Look for Jones to have another solid performance as his linebackers are a shaky group an ...

With Eric Berry gone, Pat Chung ascends to the top of our week two rankings for defensive backs, and he's likely to stay in that spot all year. Chung is a beast who has a nose for the football and a few weeks ago even Head Coach Bill Belichick couldn't keep his mouth shut to the press about Chung's abilities. Expect both Chung and corner back Devin McCourty to have great years at their positions as they are ...

Pat Chung went crazy the last time he played in Miami and while he's unlikely to have the success he had on Monday Night (watch video) he's still going to be a dominate top five defensive back this year. Head Coach Bill Belichick has had nothing to say but positive things about Chung and that is saying a lot when you consider that Belichick isn't known for verbalizing much to the media. Landry May Not Play ...

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 ...

Until the day comes to pass that it's clear Troy Polamalu isn't a great player in the league, it seems people will still overvalue him in IDP fantasy football leagues. I really don't care if you're involved in a heavy big play scoring as his tackle numbers (and health concerns) just aren't high enough to justify him being a top ten defensive back on draft day. While I grow tired of seeing his name high on l ...
