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 ...

Darrelle Revis vs Chargers - The Dolphins made the mistake of throwing at Darrelle Revis, and he made them pay with a long touchdown off an interception. While it appears Antonio Gates will be back this week, fantasy owners should anticipate that Philip Rivers won't go away from taking his shots down the field to Vincent Jackson, and that should mean opportunities for Revis. With the bye weeks well underway ...

With so many varying leagues of starting depth and roster space for IDP players, it can be a challenge to give you sound advice for our IDP waiver wire pickups. I will have some deeper waiver wire options, but I also have listed some players I've talked about in the past, and they may be available in your league at this time. That is why I have a section below all three standard IDP positions called Get'em ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mason Foster Should Remain A Three Down Linebacker After a breakout week against the Vikings, it looked like Buccaneers' rookie middle linebacker Mason Foster was ready to be the breakout option we'd hoped for at the start of camp. Quincy Black was working in Foster spot in mixed packages during the teams' week one contest, and while he's hurt, I wanted to find out if Foster was likely to play three downs g ...

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 ...

D'Qwell Jackson vs Dolphins - Those that listened to me in the summer, hopefully were wise enough to take a shot on D'Qwell Jackson in the later rounds of their draft. Going as late as an LB-4, Jackson was one of the best IDP linebackers before injuries cost him most of the last two years. While health problems hurt Jackson's stock, it was the early rumors of him moving over to a weak-side linebacker and th ...

Linebackers Navarro Bowman – Takeo Spikes was an IDP option last year playing next to Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman is likely to outperform Spikes numbers this year. Bowman has had two solid performances and threatens to hurt Willis as the king of IDP linebackers, by taking away valuable tackles. Bowman is a physical beast, and it doesn’t hurt that he comes from Penn State, a college known for producing ...
