In this weekly column I’ll highlight some top IDP options that aren’t always “must-start” players. I’ll also hit on some of the players most likely to disappoint this week.
Here’s complete season and weekly projections that can be customized to your league’s scoring for all those tough start/sit calls. For specific questions you can always ask me via twitter @NateNFL.
Defensive Line
Start
Sheldon Richardson DL2 vs TEN
We saw last week how bad the Titans offense is playing. The offensive line is a mess and both Zach Mettenberger and Jake Locker took way too many sacks.
Locker is starting for the Titans now that Mettenberger is out for the year and while he is more mobile I think the Jets defense will have a field day. For all the Jets shortcomings the front line is still very talented. Look for Richardson and company to control the line of scrimmage and pressure Locker early and often.
Michael Johnson DL2 vs CAR
Johnson and the Bucs front will be going up against Derek Anderson with Cam Newton out for this one. Anderson isn't known for his mobility.
