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 ...

Start'em DB: Bernard Pollard - It's taken some time for Bernard Pollard to finally get a quality amount of snaps in Baltimore, but he's got it going now and is a worthy DB-1 going forward. We've seen what Pollard can do as an IDP stud over recent years, and playing time was really the only problem for Pollard's chances to produce as a star defensive back. In a hard-hitting game against the physical 49ers, t ...

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, ...

Justin Tuck @ Patriots - For all the success Justin Tuck had a year ago, the big man has had a hard time playing at full speed with lingering injury problems this year. Tuck finally returned to action last week but failed to get much done as he only totaled one tackle but did pick up half a sack. The Giants head out to New England to face an opponent they know very well, as Tom Brady was harassed by Tuck an ...

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 ...

Raiders' defensive lineman Matt Shaughnessy didn't just breakout in 2010, he started to show flashes of becoming a potential dominant force on a suddenly deep, talented Oakland front line. If the Raiders secondary can at least play respectable in coverage (need respectable additions in free agency) Shaughnessy should have some fun getting after the quarterback, while continuing in his development against th ...

Click Here >> Current Weekly Rankings, Waivers, Start - Sit Many IDP fantasy football leagues wrapped up last week but for some owners are still fighting it out into week seventeen. While you should stick with your main defensive players in the final week, you may be forced to go with another option because of injury or players resting for the NFL playoffs. Take a look at the options for start and sit ...
