Before I get to the cheatsheet a quick note. Unfortunately, with the madness of the Holidays now in full swing I’m just not going to be able to find the time to do a proper Start/Sit article this week (which may be a blessing to IDP owners everywhere), so there will be no Week 16 article in that regard. With that said and with my apologies here are the Top 30 Defensive Linemen, Linebackers, and Defensive Backs for IDP leagues [...]

If you’re still reading this than you’ve made it to the playoffs, quite possibly in spite of my recommendations, but you’re also still reading this, so even if it’s an exercise in reverse lineup psychology away we go! START Darnell Dockett – DE, ARI (at CAR): Pass rush matchups don’t get a whole lot better than traveling to Charlotte to face Jimmy Clausen and company. Charles Johnson – DE, CAR (vs. ARI): Unless of course you’re a red-hot defensive end [...]

Cheatsheet based on Default IDP Manor Scoring. DEFENSIVE BACKS 1.) Bernard Pollard – HOU at TEN 2.) Roman Harper – NO at BAL 3.) Donte Whitner – BUF at MIA 4.) T.J. Ward – CLE at CIN 5.) Yeremiah Bell – MIA vs BUF 6.) Craig Dahl [...]

Before I get to this week’s recommendations it’s worth noting that some funky ass weather is expected in the Midwest and Northeast on Sunday that could have a significant impact on several games. With the playoffs upon us you can use any and every edge you can get, so be sure to take a glance at updated weather forecasts before setting your lineups this weekend. START Matt Shaugnessy – DE, OAK (at JAX): Should atone for last week’e goose egg [...]

With the playoffs underway in some leagues and just around the corner in others here are the Top 30 Defensive Linemen, Linebackers, and Defensive Backs for IDP leagues for Week Fourteen of the 2010 season. Cheatsheet based on Default IDP Manor Scoring. DEFENSIVE BACKS 1. Yeremiah Bell – MIA at NYJ 2. Bernard Pollard – HOU vs BAL 3. Donte Whitner – BUF vs CLE 4. Tyvon Branch – OAK at JAX 5. Eric Berry – KC at SD 6. [...]

PICKUP OF THE WEEK Brandon Siler – ILB, San Diego Chargers Siler started for the Bolts in last week’s loss to Oakland and had a big day in relief of the injured Stephen Cooper, racking up 9 solos and twelve total tackles. Cooper has hardly been lighting up stat sheets of late and with Siler now healthy and Cooper hobbled (as opposed to earlier this year when the opposite held true) it’s likely we’ll be seeing more of the 4th [...]

Well, it’s week thirteen, which means the end of the regular season in some fantasy leagues and nearly the end in others, making each lineup decision that much more important. Wish there was something I could do to help, but given my luck this season you might be better off flipping my recommendations and doing the ol’ Start/Sit end-around. However, much like the Panthers, I gotta show up and at least try, so here goes nothin’. START Cliff Avril – [...]
