One-Liner…
Our biggest avoidance, which normally wouldn’t have happened if they had gotten us this far, has to be the Giants. Anchor DT Dexter Lawrence is out, and Rakeem Nunez-Roches can’t do it on his own. And D.J. Davidson, Armon Watts, or any of the other depth aren’t on par and most are hurt. This also has this guy avoiding the heck out of Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux in what could have been an upside matchup, but with the situation as it is, those guys seem to be getting a lot more attention in double teams. It’s just a bit too risky for me not to mention it.

If I’m digging deep with six teams on by, believe it or not, the Chargers Poona Ford would be worth a strong look. After him, it’s likely got to be one of the Falcons, Grady Jarrett or David Onyemata. And the Bills DaQuan Jones could mix in nicely anywhere amongst those three choices in a pinch.

One-Liner… week 14 IDP rankings
Yes, I would start the Cardinals’ Zaven Collins over the Giants’ Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux this week. And with Nick Bosa out, or even if he plays, I think the 49ers’ Leonard Floyd will overachieve this week. And then there’s the Saints’ Carl Granderson who might not get a sack. But he should still have enough overall production and upside to outplay some of the more notable names with weaker matchups.
Good Luck this weekend and hope you make it through so you can join me again next week for at least one more run at the Championship!
