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, ...

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 ...

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 LB - Daryl Washington vs Giants - Off to a slow start because of a neck injury, Daryl Washington got back into the lineup last week, and I expect him to play at full speed against the Giants. Washington is a worthy weekly starter when healthy as he's the top inside linebacker to play in Arizona, and their scheme has always translated into respectable options at this position for IDP leagues. More W ...

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 ...

Start'em Will Smith vs Texans - Back after serving a two-game suspension for his part in the Star caps situation, Will Smith is ready to make an impact for the Saints. It seems like Smith has a great year, every other season and that means he's in-line for a strong year in 2011. Smith should be viewed no less than a DL-3 in his first game back. Greg Hardy vs Jaguars - Look for Greg Hardy to bounce back agai ...

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 ...
