FROM IDP MANOR Let’s take a look at the injury and playing status of some IDP-relevant players leading up to the 2009 NFL season’s twelfth weekend of games.

FROM IDP MANOR START – Jared Allen – DE, MIN (vs. CHI): It sort of goes without saying, but get Allen in your lineup, as even though Allen’s been whisper-quiet the past two games a rebound is likely in order against a Bears line that’s middle-of-the-pack in sacks allowed. – James Hall – DE, STL (vs. SEA): Hall has posted back-to-back so-so stat lines against elite offenses in New Orleans and Arizona, but his fantasy fortunes should improve this week [...]

FROM IDP MANOR PICKUP OF THE WEEK Michael Boley – OLB, New York Giants After a beginning to the 2009 season that saw everything that could go wrong do just that after Boley signed with the G-Men in free agency the stars finally seem to be aligning for the former Falcon. After posting a solid 7 solo stat line in his return to action in week 9 Boley exploded against Atlanta Sunday, tallying 13 total tackles and adding a sack [...]
FROM IDP MANOR Let’s take a look back at the IDP Week Eleven that was. – The Green Bay defense was dealt a significant blow in their win over San Francisco Sunday, as both starting cornerback Al Harris and outside linebacker Aaron Kampman were lost to season-ending ACL injuries. It’s an especially cruel blow for Kampman, who was in the midst of a career-worst season after moving from DL to OLB in the Packers’ new 3-4 defense. Given Kampman’s distaste [...]
FROM IDP MANOR START – Jonathan Fanene – DE, CIN (@ OAK): With Bruce Gradkowski in at QB and the Bengals likely to get staked to a lead expect Fanene’s strong play (stat-wise) to continue for at least one more week. – Justin Smith – DE, SF (@ GB): Smith’s the next DE to face the matador O-Line of the Packers, who have allowed a ridiculous 41 sacks in ten games this season.
