2019 Fantasy Football Week Six: IDP Report

Week five was not nice to the IDP report last week. Whether it was injuries or underperformance not many guys came up big on defense this week that wasn’t in the top three tiers. It looked like Clay Matthews was off to a hot start, but a broken jaw put that to a halt. My sleeper Todd Davis had a good game and Eric Weddle had a busy day. Unfortunately, the rest of the gang for my special first quarter addition came up short. The IDP game can be a mean beast if your guys don’t get the consistency and snaps to make a play or get those points tallied.

2019 Fantasy Football Week Five: IDP Report

A quarter of the season has come and gone, and defenses are starting to mold their chemistry together. Some guys are standing out with their breakout seasons while others are taking it to slow still getting their legs from under them. No significant injuries happened this weekend unless you have Davante Adams or maybe Mitchell Trubisky but plugging in those IDP players to fill the voids should be helping. Let’s recap from last week’s picks.

2019 Fantasy Football Week Four: Starts, Sits, and Sleepers

Well here’s to hoping you didn’t lose Saquon Barkley, but if you did don’t feel defeated yet. You aren’t the only one and some of our writers did as well. It’s a painful experience as if you were hurt alongside him, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Now you get to test your management skills till he returns and as the season goes along start to make trades and waiver pickups to stay afloat till Barkley, Tyreek Hill, Drew Brees, A.J. Green, and other key players return.

2019 Fantasy Football Week Four: IDP Report

Well, it happened again and if you had Saquon Barkley like me, you know the agony of his injury. If you are in an IDP league though, you know that two individuals from last week’s report should’ve carried you to a win! I know it did for me and that is the ups and downs of being in IDP leagues. Those defensive players can help carry you to a win or they can be duds and not help at all.

2019 Fantasy Football Week Three: IDP Report

What a crazy week two! A lot of big names players on the offensive side of the ball suffering injuries. Hopefully, your IDP guys made up for those points you missed out on and covered those margins that could’ve hurt you. I know my guys did, when Drew Brees went down Alvin Kamara seemed to fall off. Thankfully my IDP guys picked up the slack.

2019 Fantasy Football Week Two: IDP Report

Well, week one has come and gone. While some games were close and others blowouts, on the defensive side of the ball, players started to stand out and make a mark right off the bat for their teams. In a review of last week’s edition, we saw the unfortunate injury bug claim Johnathan Allen after playing only seven snaps when he injured his knee. Richard Sherman though shined with five tackles, four solos, two pass deflections and an interception for a pick-six! Zach Cunningham has five tackles against New Orleans and my sleeper pick of Jerome Baker logged eight tackles, just shy of making the double-digit mark. Going into week two the matchups are looking juicy for these guys listed below!

Fantasy Battle: Deshaun Watson vs Aaron Rodgers

With the shocking retirement of Andrew Luck, the quarterback position has thinned a little bit at the top of the draft board. In this fantasy battle, I’m looking at two players who should be targeted at their ADPs if fantasy players want a top quarterback. Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers are two of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the league. According to Fantasy Football Calculator, Watson is being drafted at pick 5.03 as the QB2 while Rodgers is going pick 5.11 as the QB3. So let’s dig a little deeper on who I favor.
