Knarl Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 My league runs with 1 IDP player and I drafted NaVorro Bowman. I was unaware of his injury at the time. Now I'm wondering if he is worth the risk of keeping him and being questionable for week 1, or if I should just pick up another linebacker. I don't want to spend a bench spot on an IDP when I'm full of upside offensive players on my bench, but is Bowman worth stashing on the bench? It's a 6 pt td, 25/10/10 yards per pt, 1 pt. per 5 completions/receptions/rushes 10 man league. IDPs get 3 pts per sack, 1 pt per tackle, .5 pts per assisted tackle, 6 for TDs, 2 for interception, fumble recovery, safety, 1 for forced fumble. My team: Rodgers Bradshaw, Bush, Martin, McGahee, Wilson, Gerhart, Jennings White, Harvin, Garcon, DHB, Washington, Wright Graham Bowman Cardinals D/ST Bryant The IDPs already taken are: Willis DQ Jackson D. Johnson Laurinaitis Bowman Greenway D. Washington Ray Lewis D. Ryans C. Lofton So there's plenty of good guys left, but I'm no expert on the defensive side. What's typically better at generating consistent tackles - a linebacker in a 3-4 or a 4-3? MLB or LOLB/ROLB? What about for a team that has a good offense and therefore gives the defense more rest, or a team with a bad offense and therefore gives the defense more opportunities to make plays? I'm just not sure what info to focus in on. Any advice is appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers(rd8), Ben Roethlisberger(Rd 9) RB: Lesean Mccoy(#5), Darren Mcfadden(#16), Cedric Benson, Ben Tate, Cj Spiller, Deangelo Williams Wr, A.J.

Sean Weatherspoon and Sean Lee are the best options available and are equal to Bowman in potential production. I feel great about these guys this year and have drafted both of them onto my teams. I'd say Washington is the lowest ranked player in your offense, you could drop him for one of the Sean's, but I don't know how shallow your leagues FA pool is.

keggerz Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I hate to say this but it is what it is....when you only start 1 IDP there really isn't any reason to roster anyone...work the WW and you can be just as successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
