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
Corey Liuget DL2 vs MIA
As a short 300 pound 3-4 end Liuget is not the type of player who will rack up a ton of sacks. What he does do is tackle. He's posted exactly four solo tackles in half his starts this season. In three of those games he's gotten to the quarterback.
This week he goes against a Miami line that's not exactly known for protecting Ryan Tannehill. He should post a few tackles minimum and there's a good chance he adds a sack as well.
Michael Bennett DL2 vs OAK
The Oakland offensive line is atrocious. Couple that with the fact that Seattle wants to get more hits on the quarterback and you could see a player killed in the pocket for the Raiders this weekend.
