Some more random IDP thoughts

[Zooty]

Arz

DL- Dockett is a monster but stays just out of the top 10 as a result of the 3-4 scheme. Campbell is OK but won’t be useful except in deep leagues. Not seeing much at DT

LB- Washington should develop but not seeing anyone else here. hayes is hurt already and he will NOT replace Dansby. Porter is still pulling forks out of himself from a couple seasons ago, pass. Haggans? Pass

DB- Wilson is a stud and Rhodes could be playable but I doubt it. DRC is useful, maybe a rookie corner?

 

ATL

DL- Abraham on his last legs, has a little left. Biermann looks like the upside young guy but keep an eye on Sidbury . DTs? mehh

LB- Lofton is a 3 down stud. Weatherspoon should be playing on pass downs and end up as full time WLB but it may develop slowly. Peterson is probably spotty at best and will be top back-up with Nicholas holding down the stronside

DB- Dunta at corner with ?? Safety is still unsettled. DeCoud is hyped but under produces as a FS. Coleman still starts cause Moore is still hurt

 

CAR

DL- Johnson and Brayton look like starters. Brown is not developing and looks like he may be passed by the rookie Hardy.

LB- Conner finally gets to play but may only be a 2 down LB at MLB. Beason still a stud either way. SLB still unsettled.

DB- Stud CBs. Godfey should breakout at SS

 

Chi

DL- Peppers and T. Harris. the other DE should benefit from Peppers but who is it? Possibly M. Anderson but Idonije is being called a sleeper

LB- Briggs and Urlacher. No tackles left for anyone else

DB- Stud CBs, Looks like Harris at SS and Manning (plus return yards),Wright and Afalava in the mix too. I’d stay away till it’s clear.

 

Dallas

DL- Ratliff at DT, not a lot here otherwise

LB- Ware and Spencer are big-play LBs. B. James has been productive and Brooking has been useful. I expect Lee to force himself into the line-up at some point this season though (but I’m a PSU homer). And Williams probably becomes the other starter next year

DB- Can’t comment much here. I usually avoid Dallas players and CBs as a rule. I am disappointed that they finally let Roy “can’t cover” Williams go.

 

Detroit

DL- Total turn around here. Suh at DT with C. Williams. KVB at DE should have something left. Lots of people on the Avril bandwagon. I’ll believe it when I see it

LB- Levy and real thin after that. Peterson may be a LB5

DBs- Delmas is overcoming a bit of an offseason ding. CC Brown looks to be in the lead for the SS spot. CBs are still developing which means value there.

 

Green Bay

DL- Bahh another 3-4 team. Killing all DE value. Jenkins in deeper leagues. Maybe Raji as a DT

LB- Barnett still useful, Hawk fighting with Bishop for the starting job. Some value with Matthews at OLB but another team with barely rosterable DEs and OLBs

DB- Woodson is hugh, Harris should be back otherwise T. Williams was OK. Collins is OK and Burnett could become a stud. Bigby looks like he misplayed his hand

Minny

DL- Williamses at DT, Allen at DE and Edwards should continue to emerage.

LB- Greenway keeps putting up numbers despite a SLB tag. Question is if EJ can come back and still play. If not can Brinkly play or will Leber suddenly have value

DB- CBs are good when healthy. Safety is not a lot of fantasy value

 

NO

DL- Brown and Smith should be pretty good DEs

LB- Vilma and there appears to be a battle at WLB with Casillias winning

DBs- Solid CB in Porter and Greer. Harper is top-notch and either Sharper or Jenkins could produce at FS

 

NYG

DL- Tuck is solid but Osi and Kiwi have become ??? I wouldn’t expect much from JPP this year

LB- Boley and whoever wins the MLB job. I expect it to be Bullock but Sintim could be a sleeper and Goff is not out of the picture yet. Maybe Dilliard in the longterm

DB- Phillips if he’s back is a stud, Rolle is solid, the CBs don’t thrill me

 

Philly

DL- Cole is a stud, the rest of the DEs will be a rotation with none useful IMO. Graham should be eventually. Tapp and Parker may have spot success or use in large leagues. DTs are solid with Bunkley and Patterson. Laws is finally playing well too.

LB- Bradley is back. Sims has had some success in the past but historically Philly OLBs are so-so at best. Jordan looks like the SLB for now. Fokou stinks to be honest. Clayton and Chaney have looked like they want to make the team

DB- Mikell is locked in and Allen is a nice add at FS but I doubt he has any fantasy value. Demps and Harris (who also splits at CB) are behind them. At CB is Samuel who can’t tackle unless it’s an accident and Hobbes (return yards). Hanson probably takes the nickel again

 

STL

DL- Long will breakout some day but he won’t be on my team. Little is about down, not much else there

LB- Animal is just that. Carpenter looks like a bust on team 2. Grant has the edge at WLB

DB- CBs are a mess, Atogwe is pretty good. Butler is the play here IMO if he stays healthy

 

SF

DL- Shocker another 3-4 with little value. J. Smith is good DL2

LB- Willis is a stud. Spikes has marginal value. I’m a big fan of Bowman but he’ll be next year.n Not much at the OLB spots

DB- Goldson has produced big numbers though no one likes him. We’ll see how long it takes for Mays to win the job from Lewis and IF he’s any good. Too many Roy Williams comparisons for my taste.

 

SEA

Weird, here’s a team has isn’t changing to a 3-4 but looks like they may actually despite what they say

DL- Clemons could regain the form he had in OAK but having watched him with the Eagles , I doubt it. Still he could play an elephant type position for SEA

LB- Hmm, without Clemons they have 4 good ones. More likely 3 as I don’t expect L. Hill to make the team. I think Lofa is back in the middle with Curry and Hawthorne outside. though a 3-4 with Lofa and Hawthorne inside would like nice…

DB- CBs have been productive. Milloy or Babineaux should man the SS spot and Thomas play the FS. Bab had some value last season but there may be none there now

 

TB

DL- Rookie DTs and a guy named Stylez. :eyeroll:. White should be good and K. Moore at the other DE has been making some noise

LB- Rudd is still a stud and Hayes is being hyped. Black at SLB. Team is so bad its hard to say. They did draft some interesting rookies at LB and I can see a lot of turn-over with this team the next coupld years.

DB- Barber and Talib are quality. T. Jackson is depth at best. Piscatelli had a few good games till they realized that he can’t play. S. Jones should be better and have some value again

 

WAS

DL- Fat Albert is listed as a DE but I doubt that helps his value any. Their 2 best DEs are playing OLB. Good bless the 3-4 destroying all fantasy value. :heart:

LB- Fletcher keeps going. McIntosh inside whould be OK as a 3 or 4. Orakpo and carter have limited value unless it’s a big play league

DB- Landry could be a steal. Hall seems like he finally gets it

Weatherspoon got straight owned by Hernandez on that TD tonight.
