Linval Joseph, DT – Giants
If you play in DT required leagues, Linval Joseph is a player who should be rising up your rankings. He’s graded positively in six of his eight games this season (+5.8 overall) and had an impressive fantasy performance last week against the Cowboys with two sacks, giving him four on the season. His pass-rush isn’t in Geno Atkins territory, (that’s not what you’d expect from a 328lbs D-tackle), but he has five hits and seven further hurries to his sack total. He also has 23 total tackles for the season and is a borderline top ten DT going forwards. In dynasty leagues he’s worth adding to your roster.
