Fantasy: IDP – Monday Morning Cornerback
What an exciting opening week of football. There were a ton of big games and surprising performances. There were also some crippling injuries to a bunch of key players, which was one of the unfortunate expectations of the shortened offseason. So let’s take a look and see who had big games and who went down with an injury.
If you’ve read any of these articles before, you know how much I love Aqib Talib. He has a realistic chance to lead the league in interceptions, and despite being a cornerback provides enough value to be rostered as a DB in almost all IDP leagues.

The analysis will help you to determine whether or not a tough match-up will have an impact on the players’ “start” status. For Week 1, I’ll be looking at three very compelling star/IDP match-ups: Cowboys star receivers Miles Austin and Dez Bryant vs. Jets’ cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie; Patriots quarterback Tom Brady vs. Dolphins outside linebacker Cameron Wake; and Titans running back Chris Johnson vs. Jaguars middle linebacker Paul Posluszny. Let’s get to it…
Showdown – The Stat Guru vs. The Gambler, Week 1
PICKS FOR ALL GAMES NOW POSTED
This year we’re doing our Showdown piece with a different approach. Instead of having Sam and Khaled throw darts at the wall to come up with their predictions, we’re challenging our stat guru, Nathan Jahnke, and our resident gamblin’ man, Joe C, to go head-to-head to sort out exactly who is Pro Football Focus’ best at picking games.
.
We’ll be showing their choices for the outright winners as well as offering their picks against the spread. The four games each contestant is most confident in are marked with red arrows, so if you happen to be searching for our best bets, you’ll know which games to take a look at.
