Sicoli’s Weekly Wrap: IDP quick hits

Colts pick up DE Kwity Paye’s 5th-year option

Sicoli’s Wrap: Some may have wondered about Paye after the first-round addition of Laiatu Latu, but Paye just had a career-high 52 tackles and 8.5 sacks. It’s been hard for the former first-round pick to break out in a steady Indianapolis rotation, but perhaps Latu could help open things up.

Fifth-year options declined for Eric Stokes, Payton Turner, Caleb Farley, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, Zaven Collins

Sicoli’s Wrap: None of these are too surprising, hence why I’m grouping them up here. Collins saw his snaps slide under new head coach Jonathan Gannon. Tryon-Shoyinka has the greatest chance to earn a payday in the wake of Shaquil Barrett’s departure. Still, don’t bank on it.

Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (ACL) expected to be healthy at training camp

Sicoli’s Wrap: Training camp isn’t until late July, and Diggs is in no rush to get healthy. He should be fine to draft in fantasy, at least if you’re concerned about health. He tore his ACL in September and should be ready for Week 1.

Bills sign LB Deion Jones, DE Dawuane Smoot

Sicoli’s Wrap: Jones enters a good situation, but one that won’t make a big difference in fantasy. He’s still comfortably behind Terrel Bernard and shouldn’t be expected to beat second-year Dorian Williams or veteran Nicholas Morrow. 

Titans bring back DT Marlon Davidson

Sicoli’s Wrap: Davidson flamed out of Atlanta and spent most of 2023 on Tennessee’s practice squad. He’ll compete for a roster spot behind presumed starters in star Jeffrey Simmons and second-round pick T’Vondre Sweat.

Packers DC Jeff Hafley outlines promising role for second-round rookie S Javon Bullard

Sicoli’s Wrap: Bullard is expected to be the starter opposite Xavier McKinney, and Bullard might be the one to roster for fantasy. The Georgia rookie can slide into the slot. Bullard’s role closer to the line of scrimmage with McKinney being the high safety could be great for fantasy.

Georgia LB Dallas Turner emerges as DPOY favorite among sportsbooks

Sicoli’s Wrap: Fair enough. Sacks get awards, and Turner figures to chase many of those in a terrific defensive fit with Brian Flores. Expectations should always be tempered for rookies, but Turner has the best chance of the bunch to break through the rookie wall.
