IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

IDP Week 6 NFL Fantasy Football 2010 Waiver Wire Pick Ups

Immediate Pick-ups

Linebackers (these are in pick-up priority)

LB Clint Session IND is not a waiver wire guy in most leagues, but I noticed many of you who write me only start 1-3 LBs so your selection of upper tier LBs is much more vast on your waiver wire.  Session was injured in the beginning of this season, but had his first fully healthy game week 5 and is back to his level where he played last year. This week, it was 8 solos and 2 assists. I definitely like him more than Brackett for the rest of the year and I'd want him on my roster over Ray Lewis or David Harris the rest of the way.

LB Desmond Bishop GB had 6 solos, 7 assists and a sack vs. a Redskin team that basically abandoned the run. I know I always say to wait for a second week to see if this is a trend or mirage, but Bishop is a "Hawthorne" type. He's the kind of "back up" IDP guy that you love to see fill in because, just like Hawthorne (before he became a regular), Bishop has showed incredible IDP potential random times over the past couple years whenever he's filled in for both Barnett & Hawk. Word is that Barnett is potentially out for the season with his wrist injury and Bishop is well worth the snatch and grab. He is a bit of a risk because although he's a great fantasy LB, he's inconsistent as a "real LB" so Green Bay might pull him down the road, but with both Barnett & Brandon Chillar injured, you can trust enough to ride this wave while you can over the next month or maybe even the whole year.
This is the same time last year that I recommended Hawthorne and if Bishop had 13 total tackles and a sack against a team who didn't have their starting RB (Portis), and abandoned the run, imagine his tackle numbers against a running team like Miami in week 6.  Mayo racked up 14 solos and 2 assists vs. Miami in week 4. Bishop will share tackles with Hawk beside him, but Bishop is as much faster player than Hawk and reads run plays faster so he'll be the one with the higher box scores at the end of the day.

LB G. McRath TEN looks great and with 7 solos and an assist, he's good to go for your roster. 


Defensive Backs

SS Whitner BUF (on Bye week 6 though) is a guy to keep an eye out on your waiver. His bye week is next week and sometimes guys have to drop a good player in order to fill an obvious need on their team. This guy is IDP awesomness and needs to be on your team. This week he entered elite status with 10 solos and 1 assist.

FS M. Huff OAK has been the man in Oakland the last few weeks. Keep in mind that he's played pass heavy teams, but 9 solos, 2 assists, 1 sack and a forced fumble is officially playing at the "elite" level.

CB A. Verner TEN had another great week and is highly recommended in leagues that start CB and even in leagues that don't if you're not happy with your guy.

SS C. Ndukwe (on Bye week 6 though) with 10 total tackles and a fumble recovered and ready for someone's roster. He's been fairly solid all year and sometimes consistency beats out high risk, high reward guys.

SS P. Oliver SD  is a "why not" play. Gregory was very productive as the SS for the Chargers and now Oliver steps in and puts up identical numbers with 6 solos and 2 assists.


Defensive Lineman

DE I. Idonije CHI finished with 5 solos 2 assists and 3 sacks.  Not any way to predict this one, but he did have a sack last week also so that's why he's now on the pick up list.  Unfortunately, you've probably seen his best week all year come and go, but he's as good as there is out in the waivers right now as a DL.  If you want the truth, I purposely avoid playing in IDP leagues that require DLs. I get zero enjoyment out of the position because I could literally have my 2 year old point at a name on a sheet and have the same chance as picking many of them. We'll keep trying, but your guess is as good as mine.

DE M. Shaughnessy OAK is an above average guy to get. He finished with 6 total tackles week 5 with sack and a forced fumble

DLs that "Fool the System"

DL T. Scott OAK is another linebacker listed as DL in most leagues and was a strong recommendation last year. This week, he finished with    5 solos and 2 assists and you'd be hard priced to find DL who can put up regular tackle numbers like that.

DL Chris Kelsay BUF (on Bye week 6 though) is a linebacker who's a nice middle of pack guy to have as he's always around 6 total tackles each week. If you don't get credit for assists then he's not worth it, but in tackle heavy leagues where you get credit for assist, you can count on him.

DL Ninkovich NE is actually a linebacker, but is listed as a DL in many people's leagues. If he is a DL in yours, he's worth a flyer in week 6.


Mirages:

LB J. Hunter DEN had a sack, 6 solos and 3 assists. This was mainly because Baltimore was so far ahead in this one very early in the game so they had very little reason to pass a lot so BAL kept it on the ground most of the game.

DT C. Williams DET had 6-1  and 1 forced fumble week 5. This is out of the blue for him so I have to say it's a mirage. That being said, he's with a "why not" recommendation in the wacky world of DTs.

LB J. Peterson DET had 7-4 and 1 sack. Awesome week and most probably his best of the year. D. Levy ended up being a scratch because of his groin and ankle so when he's back in the lineup, you won't see Peterson have production like this again.

SS S. Piscitelli TB is back with a 7 tackle and 1 INT performance. I'll have to do some research and see why he's back in there and if this is permanent or not.


Observations:

Start whoever covers Roddy White each week. He's the highest targeted WR in football and thus that DB will be the highest targeted DB each week.  Just look back at the box scores of each of the guys who covered him every week. He makes each CB into a weekly IDP star.

LB Brian Cushing HOU had a decent first game with 9 total tackles.  It will only get better from here out. He will get sacks, pass deflections, INTs, forced fumbles. You'll like owning him. Remember that he finished a top 3 guy last year and it's not like he's coming off an injury so he's fresh and ready to explode.

LB P. Lenon ARI (on Bye week 6) not only played injured, but was on a team that was playing with a lead for once and it was against the Saints of all teams. So the Saints without any running game passed instead so Lenon's chances were reduced this week. Don't panic on him. He still got an INT this week to help his owners.

LB K. Brooking DAL - Anyone know what happened to Brooking in this one? Can't find any news why he's not in the box scores

LB DJ Williams DEN exploded in week 5 with 10 solos and 5 assists. All LBs had decent numbers in this game. A lot of it was beause Baltimore was ahead by a lot most of the game, but looking ahead to week 6, New England play BAL next. So Jerod Mayo, Ninkovich & Banta Cain get slight bumps up due to this matchup.

LB Jon Beason CAR (on Bye week 6 though)  also looked really good this week with 10 total tackles.

SS L. Landry WAS finished with 13 total tackles, 1 INT and a forced fumble.  I heard many doubting him this week. I kept him in my lineup and got my 29 points. He scored 4X better than my bye week QB Bradford did this week. Let's keep in mind starting our Safeties vs. Green Bay & Houston whenever possible. (that's Y. Bell & Eric Berry owners next week vs. GB & HOU)

LB S. Weatherspoon & LB S. Nicholas ATL split time and basically cancelled out each others fantasy points and ruined any IDP value for each other.  So until one clearly starts again, neither should be owned.

Random Rant:
This is the first time I've done this on my defensive blog, but I"M SO PISSED OFF ABOUT OWNING GREG JENNINGS, MARK CLAYTON, JOHNNY KNOX & MARIO MANNINGHAM THIS WEEK!!!! I dropped Mike Sims-Walker last week because of no catches and now the Giants play the easiest fantasy team to throw on, Houston, and Manningham gets no catches. Jennings gets 2 cathes for nothing, Clayton has 1 catch for 6 yards and Johnny Knox gets 1 catch for 14 yards. So frustrating to watch all my defensive guys get 20 points or more and lose because my 3 wide receivers combine for 6 total points. Feel free to bitch about your guys as well on here, but 6 points out of 4 wide receivers in a PPR has to be some kind of record. Thanks for letting me get that rant out.

Thanks for your help Michael, as always.

I am thinking about dropping Kenny Phillips.. would you drop Phillips if you were me?

my DBs are.

Chung, Pollard, Whitner, E. Thomas and Phillips.. if so who would you pick up

Oliver, Huff or Ndukwe in his place?

Nick said...

Monk,

Sorry about your WR woes - Lord knows I've been there. Hell, I'm kind of there this season. I drafted Sidney Rice and Vincent Jackson as my #2 and #3 WRs in my IDP league, so I've been playing catch-up to this point. I was able to score a sleeper in Brandon Lloyd, and I got Austin Collie who was way undervalued by a lot of the FF gurus out there. This week was hell for me on the RB front, though, because I have Pierre Thomas and Clinton Portis who were out with injuries, and Ronnie Brown on a bye. I actually had to pick up Laurence Maroney and play him last minute. Good thing too, as it looks like it's going to be a VERY tight matchup.

Here's my bitch: In my other league, I have Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Well, of course, I started Manning, naturally. And what happens? he scores 9 points, while McbNabb and Fitzpatrick combine for over 50 points for my bench. It's just not fair!

Anyway, thanks for all the great advice on your blog, I check it every week when setting up my IDP roster. 4-0 so far, and hopefully a good night for Antoine Winfield and/or a not-so-good night for E.J. Harrison tomorrow takes me to 5-0.

Nick

Eli said...

Hey Monk,

Eli again. So this week i have anderson on bye. as u remember my league has alot of depth in IDP so i was thinking of trading Anderson and some onther offensive players to upgrade on offense, and then simply pick up a guy like cushing (since anderson is on bye anyways) is tat a good idea? Whitner was a sick pick up for me btw he destryoed this week so once again great call and dereick landri at CHI was ok had me scared for a bit bc didnt get a tackle till 2nd half of game.
As usual I need a DT so who do u think i shud get?

thanks buddy

Unknown said...

@ Long Live The Fade

The Bengals are on bye week 6 and I don't trust Oliver enough yet after one game so I'd feel comfortable going Huff over Phillips, yes.

I definitely see your frustration with Phillips and he does need to be dropped.

Unknown said...

@ Eli

I really like the idea of trading Anderson to improve your offense if you can pick up Cushing. Definitely!

Whitner is nice. Unfortunately both Whitner & D. Bishop got scooped up in my league already.

Your Question
As usual I need a DT so who do u think i shud get?

Answer
I really like Ahtyba Rubin CLE vs Pittsburgh in week 6. Keep an eye out though at Shaun Rogers injury. If he goes instead of Rubin, I like him even better. He plays hard one game a year and it's always against Pit so one of those two are my recommendations.

Long.Live.The.Fade said...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.. about your advice to pick Huff over Phillips.

I am going to pick up D. Bishop (hopefully) who do I drop..

McRath
Wimbley (either him or Black)
Q. Black (either him or Wimbley)
Geno Hayes
P. Lenon

Do I drop Wimbley or Black to pick up Bishop?

Unknown said...

@ LL Fade
I'd drop Wimbley because his production is wrapped up on whether or not he gets a sack each week where Black's is based purely on his tackle # so he's a more consistent guy to keep.

But, yes, Bishop over Wimbley is a nice play

RJ said...

So I've got whitner and chung at safety. which do i play this week? or do i play both, considering my others are:

anderson
lenon
bishop

i've got 2 D spots, a LB spot and a DB spot to play. suggestions?

Eli said...

Hey monk,

So I started making pick ups for week 6. poz is on a byw week so i got tulloch i feel like this will be a huge week since hes playing MJD and all they do is run. Poz just played them and had a nice game and tulloch has been on a tear the past few weeks. D ou like him more than cushing, bishop, etc name a guy hes prob there haha.

As for my DT i was personally thinking tommy kelly hes been doing oretty well the past few weeks and he has SF week 6 if u believe CLE dt are better ill go with ur gut :) wat u think?

Anonymous said...

I like the looks of D. Bishop. Who should I drop?

Kerry Rhodes
Dhani Jones
Clint Session
Quinten Mikell

I also have Poz, Vilma, Kevin Burnett, and Kelvin Hayden.

Graham said...

Monk,
Thanks for the advice on keeping Landry, seems to have worked out well this week! A few interesting names came up on the wire this week, and I was curious as to your thoughts...
I have Lenon and Poz at LB, both on bye this week, and Timmons, Mayo, DJ Williams and Mathews (although he may miss time) are available...Would you drop either Lenon or Poz for any of those guys for the remainder of the year? Also, Chung was dropped as a bye week move, would you recommend rostering both Landry and Chung and playing matchups week to week...or would Landry start 90% of the time in that situation, making picking up Chung worthless?
Thanks,
Graham

oldschool said...

Monk, I feel your pain, this is the first week i sit Floyd,and he goes off and Wayne gets 5pts at least Miles saved the day,gotta cut Clayton some slack he is out for the year,next week Ben is back i have Wallace and Welker, no Moss in N.E. who would you sit 2 w. r. and 1 flex ,R.B.foster,MJD,LT,P Thomas, and late thank you from last year,Wilson,Scott,Charles,Hawthorn you had these guys weeks before any of the other sites and Chung this year you are with out a doubt #1 IDP.guy p.s you gave a web site out last year that keeps tract of all stats could you list it again thanks

Anonymous said...

Hey Monk,

I need to bench Lenon (bye week). Do you recommend Desmond Bishop over AJ Hawk? Is Desmond Bishop starting now due to all of GB's injuries? Also, Tuck is on the waiver. Should I pick him up instead of Bishop or Hawk?

Thanks for the help

Anonymous said...

Hey Monk,

I've been offered Favre for harper and david harris.

Cutler is my qb.. so I could probably use him..

my two DBs are whitner and tj ward.

I could get Session off waivers.

Think i should do it?

RJ said...

Senor Monk:

Tulloch and Mayo are available thru waiver wire. If you could take one, which would it be?

Anonymous said...

Hey monk, who do you like the rest of the year between timmons, poz, and cushing. Best two out of those three? Thanks a ton.

By the way, I feel your pain with jennings. The week you sit jennings is the week he goes off. I dealt with that headache last year. Feist or famine. Good luck!

Unknown said...

@RJ

Whitner is on bye so it's Chung

_________________

@Eli

Sure, Kelly is fine play as well.

_________________

Your Question

Who to drop for Bishop:

Answer
I would drop Kelvin Hayden. He's pretty hit or miss and it's hard to guess when he'll be a "hit"

_________________

@ Graham

Timmons is playing just as well as Lenon & Poz so definitely Timmons and drop Lenon in order to win this week and he should be fine the rest of the way.

I think you'll drive yourself crazy with the Chung vs. Landry thing decision every week. I would say Chung, but believe it or not, he was benched by Belechick earlier in that game for poor play and was only allowed back in that game because of his special teams block. After that is when he blocked another one and got that INT for a TD. Landry has zero chance of being benched. He's the best athlete on that entire Redskin team. So I'm recommending Landry the rest of the way instead. That being said, it's not a bad strategy to pick up Chung if you have the space so that your opponents can't use him against you to win.

_________________

@ oldschool

I was looking for that website again as well this year, but I guess it shut down. I'll keep an eye out for something similar.

_________________

Yes I do recommend Bishop over Hawk as an upside play

_________________

I would definitely do the Farve deal if you can pick up Session. I like it.

@RJ

That is so tough, but I'd go Tulloch over Mayo. (keep in mind I was a very frustrated Mayo owner last year so I'm biased)

Unknown said...

Choosing between Timmons, Poz & Cushing, I have to go Timmons & Poz based on their play so far and the fact that they are both ILB as opposed to an outside linebacker like Cushing who does not have as many tackle opportunities and your more dependent on his "extras".

joedante said...

I beat you with my four wide recievers. Anquan Boldin 0.80 Mark Clayton 0.60 Dwayne Bowe 3.30 and Manningham 0.00 four recievers for a total of 4.70 points.

Anonymous said...

Monk
I saw your rankings? I see you gave no ranking to Julius pepperrs and Q.Mikell. Mikell has been consistent and scored lot for me this week. Do you think he can carry this into the season?

I have J.peppers and T.cole as DE and would like to trade one of them for vilma or D.johnson or Cushing. Let me know which one should i go for?

J said...

Hey Monk,

solo tack=1, assist=.5, pass defense=1, sack=3, int=3

I've got to start 2 CBs in my league and need to pick one up. Who do you think will be the best for the rest of the year; Richard Marshall, A. Verner, or Winfield.

Thanks!

Anonymous said...

please help with 2 to start in each position/ thank god Poz,Whitner,lennon are on byes in a way to make a choice a lil more definitive. LOL

LB Harris,Rudd,Bishop,D.Johnson

DB Weddle,Bethea,T.Ward,Chung

thx for the help.

Cameron Wake or Clint Session this week and going forward?

MARMSTRONG said...

Hey Monk - Who to start this week - G.McRath or A.Samuel(opp. Roddy White)?

Other starters this week:
Cushing
Session
Chung
TJ Ward

thanks!

Maze said...

DE question. Chris Clemons @CHI or Dave Ball @JAX?

Unknown said...

@ J

Question:
I've got to start 2 CBs in my league and need to pick one up. Who do you think will be the best for the rest of the year; Richard Marshall, A. Verner, or Winfield.

Answer:
J, answering "the rest of the year" questions is not really my specialty. I emphasize picking guys up week to week in matchups. That being said, Winfield is a "staple" guy that never leaves my roster. (sometimes I bench him in matchups, but I never drop him so he would be my keeper)

________________

@joedante

OUCH! So frustrating! I feel for you. I topped off my final hair-ripping week by watching Farve, who was my bye week guy that I drafted and dropped for Sam Bradford instead, have himself his best game of the year with 3 TDs while Bradford had none and threw INTs instead. Oh, and my opponent used both of my drops earlier in the year to beat me with Malcolm Floyd (who I dropped after week 1 and Felix Jones). That's why there's always next week right.

________________

Your Question:



I saw your rankings? I see you gave no ranking to Julius pepperrs and Q.Mikell. Mikell has been consistent and scored lot for me this week. Do you think he can carry this into the season?

Answer:
At that 4 week point, Mikell hadn't had his good game in week 5 yet. He might be back up into the mix now and is definitely in the "above average" category.

Peppers is bigger in name than he is in actually numbers so he's the perfect guy to trade. I think you'll be very happy to get Cushing for him from here on out.

________________

Your Question:

please help with 2 to start in each position/ thank god Poz,Whitner,lennon are on byes in a way to make a choice a lil more definitive. LOL

LB Harris,Rudd,Bishop,D.Johnson

DB Weddle,Bethea,T.Ward,Chung

Answer: I'm personally starting Bishop over Harris on my own team. On your team, I'd definitely go D. Johnson and I'd have to look at the rest of my team on whether to go Rudd or Bishop. If you're taking a lot of risks in a lot of other postions, go Rudd and get our points. If you are sorta solid with middle of the pack guys at most of you positions, go for the high reward/medium risk guy in Bishop. We know what Ruud can do and what he normally does (6 tackles, 2 assists and not counting on "extras"), but Bishop could be 4 tackles or 14 tackles and some extras.

DB: Chung & Bethea

________________

Your question:
Cameron Wake or Clint Session this week and going forward?

Answer: Session and I wouldn't even look back on that decision. (unless you get CRAZY points for sacks and very little to none in tackles & assists)

Unknown said...

@ marmstrong

Hey Monk - Who to start this week - G.McRath or A.Samuel(opp. Roddy White)?

Answer: Samuels numbers will increase, but considering he got 1 tackle in week 1 then none, then 2 tackles and then none again, the theory doesn't work in this case. I'm thinking he doubles his production but that would put him at 3 or 4 tackles if he does.

Do rising star McGrath is definitely the direction you want to go. Follow the yellow brick McGrath Path this week.

Jason said...

Dear Monk,

Would you drop R McClain for any of following waiver wire pickups this week?

C Session, Bishop, G McRath, G Bracket

Long.Live.The.Fade said...

Hi Michael,

Just wanted your advice.. both Bishop and Huff were snagged in my league. I bidded on them through blind bids but was outbid.

So, my question is do you have a few DBs and LBs that are on your radar. Haven't got on the scene yet.. I was able to pick up McRath two weeks ago. If I would have waited he probably would have been scooped up. What I might be suggesting here is perhaps doing a 2nd half of a season.. prospect list similar to what you did in the beginning of the season.

Thanks CJ

Anonymous said...

Hey monk,

I just thought of something that would be a good post..

Maybe post like a top 10 matchup for LBs.. DBs.. etc.

I think a lot of us don't really know what teams actually give up a lot of points to defenders and etc..

Renny said...

Hey Monk!

I'm done with Geno Hayes - picked up Bishop. Had Session last year and agree that he's poised for some serious points moving forward. Apart from Bishop I have:

Vilma, McIntosh, Shaun Phillips, and Henderson.

Do you think Session has more value than any of these guys? I know it's tough, but I'd hate to miss the Session boat. Please advise. Thanks!

KGJ said...

DL Dilemma!

Hey Monk,

I have J. Allen and T. Cole scheduled to go this week for my DL and DE spots. Is it worth benching one of them (possibly Allen) to start John Abraham this week? The Cowboys have only given up 7 sacks, and the Falcons 10. Meanwhile, PHI is starting a turnstile at left tackle, and it's looking like Kolb will be playing. It pains me to say it as an Eagles fan, but I think Abraham will have a huge game. Worth taking the chance of sitting a stud?

Ryan said...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would start Tulloch over Chung this week? Reason I ask is because The Jags run the ball a lot so Tulloch will have ample tackle opportunities. Can't decide, do you think it's a toss-up?

Scotty O said...

So Cushing just came back and no one in my league has noticed...just curious if it is worth dropping K Dansby or P Lenon for him. I have both as I picked up Lenon last week for Dansby's bye...now wondering if I need both or either for that matter.

Also Whittner is on our waiver, wondering if he is worth a pickup after his bye this week for Y Bell??

We only started using IDP players last year and most people in our league haven't realized how valuable a top IDP player can be.

Thanks a bunch, still eating up your blog, and keeping it a secret from my league:)

@ Top matchup list folks

Hi guys, I definitely hear you about the top 10 lists of LBs, DBs etc. that would really help you. If I did this as a full-time job, that would not be a problem, but being full-time employee, dad of 3 kids under 7, vice pres of my church council and teaching 3 Bible studies a week, I simply don't have the time to do the amount of research it takes to fullfull that type of request.

I stay up way later than I should trying to answer everyone's questions and my articles I do on Sundays take anywhere from 4-6 hours to research everything and write it all up. So I wish I could do more, but I'm at my max as it is.

I'd definitely appreciate any of you putting in a good word for me to ESPN or Yahoo to become their IDP correspondent so that I can have the time to the matchup analysis that's being requested, but until that point, I need to stick with just the waiver wire "gems" niche.

__________

@ Renny

Your Question:

Vilma, McIntosh, Shaun Phillips, and Henderson.

Do you think Session has more value than any of these guys? I know it's tough, but I'd hate to miss the Session boat. Please advise. Thanks!

Answer:
I like Session better than Shaun Phillips. Phillips had 1 big game and is inconsistent otherwise. I wouldn't trust him on my team. I think McIntosh is too injured to play this week, but you'll want to keep an eye on his injury.

__________

@ KJC

Benching J. Allen for John Abraham isn't a bad idea. I'd give it a shot this week, sure.

__________

@ Ryan

I would start Tulloch over Chung this week, yes. Chung has been great for fantasy, but has gotten in Bellicheck's doghouse and was benched last game. Only blocking that field goal on special teams got him back in the game. I'm sure he'll start this week thanks to his other block and INT for a TD, but he might be on a short leash. Sometimes guys can be great for fantasy, but bad in real life. Something to monitor here.

Answer:
Cushing over Dansby and Whitner is a great fill in for for Y Bell's bye week. Way to think ahead! That kind of thinking will get you into the playoffs. I need to think 2 weeks ahead more often. I like it.

Your Question:

what two lb should i start this week

R. Lewis
D. Johnson
C. Session
D. Bishop

Answer:
I'd go D. Johnson & D. Bishop, but I swing for the fenses in my league. You'll be in great shap if you go R. Lewis and D. Johnson too. Session and Bishop are truly predictions on my part based on past experiences and seeing them in 1 game last week. Your safe bets are Johnson and Lewis because you know exactly what you'll get out of them. But your HUGE upside guys are Johnson & Bishop. So that's why I said Lewis & Johnson as a nice "in between". The solid guy and the upside guy.

__________

Your Question

Clint session, karlos dansby, or Derrick Johnson both in week 6 and the rest of the way? Can only choose 1 (only 5 total bench spots).

Answer:

Your one is Derrick Johnson. And I don't want to burst your bubble, but there's not such thing as "rest of the way". I hear this a lot, but my blog wouldn't exist if there was such a thing. So many changes happen every week. Actually, everyday when you look at the injury reports. Will Lance Briggs go this week for instance? So I could tell you Lance Briggs the rest of the way, but that wouldn't be true. In August, I would say Dqwell Jackson the rest of the way, but that can't happen. And starting the season, I would have easily said Jon Beason the rest of the way, but I can't say that now at all. So all I can do is tell you who to start week to week because that's what I've learned to do after 7 years of playing this wacky game of FF.

__________

@ Sean

need to fill a defensive flex spot.
should I go with your recommendation of Desmond Bishop vs Miami or D Johnson vs Texans

Answer:
Bishop was a hot waiver pickup. Johnson is your sure fired starter and I think you have to go with him because we have a pretty good idea what type of production we can get out of Johnson. Bishop is purely a prediction and gut feeling. He could go either way, but I'm backing on him doing well this week and as long as he's starting.
