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 in week 7.
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
Miami DE1 vs BUF
Last week I suggested you start the Cincinnati defensive ends against the Bills. Carlos Dunlap finished in the top 5 and Michael Johnson in the top 15. Wallace Gilberry even finished in the top 10. Buffalo's offensive style simply leads to tackle opportunities for ends. This week Cameron Wake projects as the top defensive lineman overall and Olivier Vernon projects as a top 10 play as well.
Dontari Poe DT1 vs HOU
Poe matches up well with the Texans zone blocking scheme. Houston should look to pound the football and protect whoever plays quarterback for them this week. That means lots of run stuffing opportunities for Poe to go along with his sack potential.
