In this weekly column I’ll highlight some top IDP options that aren’t always “must-start” players. I’ll also hit on some of the players most likely to disappoint this week.
Here’s complete season and weekly projections that can be customized to your league’s scoring for all those tough start/sit calls. For specific questions you can always ask me via twitter @NateNFL.
Defensive Line
Start
Jerry Hughes DL2 vs NYJ
Hughes has gone from a matchup play early in the season to an every week starter in most IDP formats. He's posted six and a half sacks in his six games along with excellent tackle numbers.
This week he matches up with the Jets just as he did in week 8. Then he posted a big fat goose egg for fantasy football owners and they may worry some heading into this weekend's game. Don't let it. Week 8 was a statistical anomaly. Start Hughes this week with confidence.
Willie Young DL2 vs TB
Young is one of the least recognizable names along the Bear's defensive front. If you're a successful IDP fantasy football owner you know that can actually create an advantage for you.
Young started the season on a tear posting seven sacks in his first six games. Since the bye he hasn't been as productive but he did have a sack last week and the Bucs at home is an excellent matchup.
