IDP Start/Sit: Week 6
Reply
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
