IDP Start/Sit: Week 6

Updated: October 13th 2022

Let’s jump into 6, but as always a quick refresher too, here were week two’s recommendations and how the “advice” went. Rankings are based on Fantasy Pros consensus rankings.

DL:
Start: Josh Sweat (2 solos, TFL)


Sit: Robert Quinn (Big ol’ goose egg, zero)


LB:

Start: Drue Tranquill (3 solos, 3 assists)

Sit: Tremaine Edmunds (5 solos, 4 assist, 2 TFLs, QB hit)

 

DB:
Start: Richie Grant (6 solos, 1 assist)

Sit: Brandon Jones (5 solos, 4 assists, TFL, QB Hit)

 

START: Odafe Oweh, Baltimore Ravens, DL37

  • Baseline snaps played each week (57+ snaps each week), great opportunity
  • Strong pressure production (5,3,3,6,0) with one bad week in week 6, pressures generally indicate upcoming sacks
  • 17 total tackles on the season, solid floor
  • New York Giants are a favorable pass rush matchup

SIT: Von Miller, Buffalo Bills, DL29

  • “Efficient” snap counts, really means lower snap count, historical Bills approach with their DL
  • Bottom half matchup in terms of pass rush against Kansas City Chiefs
  • PFF grades trending slightly down over the last two weeks in plus matchups (Ravens, Steelers)
  • Chasing big-play upside, boom-bust approach very reasonable with Von

START: Alex Singleton / Josey Jewell, Denver Broncos, LB36/37

  • Whomever is the healthy one coming into week, going to see close to 100% snaps
  • Tackle friendly team, tackle efficiency very strong for Broncos 3-down LB (20%+ tackle efficiency last week, 18%+ on the season)
  • Chargers have seen increased usage to the RB consistently week-to-week, which Jewell/Singleton continue to shadow frequently

SIT: Zaven Collins, Arizona Cardinals, LB30

  • Is a true 3-down LB, but has 8 missed tackles on the season and his tackling grades on PFF have been suspect most of the year
  • Yet to deliver a 10+ total combined tackle game, no QB hits, no sacks
  • Seattle Seahawks continue to attack downfield in their passing game
  • Seahawks don’t utilize RBs in passing game

START: Chuck Clark, Baltimore Ravens, DB25

  • Played EVERY snap this season so far
  • No big plays, but 5 tackles is his lowest this season (8,5,8,6,7), great floor with limited big play upside
  • Kyle Hamilton had a chance to play more with injury to Williams last week and saw his season low snaps, Clark’s time on the field is safe this year
  • New York Giants will focus on getting Barkley the ball at or near the line of scrimmage (59% sweet spot snaps for Clark)

SIT: Jalen Ramsey, Los Angeles Rams, DB22

  • His usage in the sweet spot, spotty and based on matchups with Panthers this week expect more time on DJ Moore on the outside
  • Tackle floor has been sinking over the past couple weeks in matchups where he plays outside more
  • Targeted twice over the last two weeks and QB for Panthers this week expects to be PJ Walker, don’t see him challenging Ramsey
