Week 11 IDP Waiver Pickups
Starting with Sneaky DB pickups:
Staying with any Free Safety vs. New England. This week it's Kerry Rhodes of NYJ. If my last weeks hunch of no name K0 Simpson can get 7 tackles and 4 assists then let's hit the Rhode this week! Add Ko Simpson to the list of no names like Bethea, Atogwe and Renaldo Hill vs NE. Need some #s R. Hill put up 7 tackles, Atogwe 7 tackles 1 INT & Colts FS Bethea who put up 2 solos the week prior put up 10 solos week 9 against the Pats. Pencil Rhodes in for a guaranteed minimum of 7 tackles. That's 14 points in my league and I'll take it.
Same NE game: Revis It seems that all left CBs who line up over Welker collect big tackle numbers as well. The only issue here is: Will the Jets put Revis on Moss all day, which leaves Lowery on Welker or will they play their respective sides? This is why Rhodes is safest of the NYJ secondary.
Speaking of Safe DB to play this week: Erik Coleman of the Atlanta Falcons is putting together big IDP year. And this week he faces a Denver offense that has no choice but to put up the ball at least 40 times. They have 1 running back left on their roster named Hillis and I think he's a backup fullback. So Coleman will see a ton of passes whether he's on Royal, Marshall or even picks up Stokely in the zone.
FS Madieu Williams vs TB: I know what you're thinking. Does TB pass a lot? Everyone must pass against Minnesota thanks to that strong run defense. In his 2 games, he is currently averaging 16 points a game. Very solid.
Sneaky Linebacker Pickups for Week 11:
Green Bay LB Nick Barnett OUT FOR THE SEASON:
And it is A.J. Hawk, not Desmond Bishop who will replace Barnett. Barnett ended the game with 5 solo tackles. Desmond Bishop stepped in on the second series of the second half. If he played the whole game, he would have finished with approximately 10 solos and a forced fumble. That's better than any of my 5 "regular" starters did this week. Heck, his score would have more than doubled 2 of my guys. Now A.J. Hawk starts at MLB against a run heavy Chicago Bears team next week. But will this stay at starting linebacker? He is week against the pass so he will probably come out on 3rd downs. He's worth a roster spot.
What's up with Mike Peterson and Del Rio?
As of today (Thursday) it doesn't look like he's starting against the run first Titans. All indications are that Daryl Smith will go at MLB this weekend. Keep an eye on this one because Daryl Smith did a nice job in his place last weekend vs. Detroit finishing with 7 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Winborn or Woodyard for Denver?
With injuries to Boss Bailey and D.J. Williams, both Winborn and Woodyard stepped up against Cleveland. Winborn with 12 tackles and Woodyard with 10. Much of this was because of short passes, but I believe Atlanta will run the ball to slow down the pace of this game and keep the ball out of Jay Cutler's hands. Cutler and Royal proved last week that they can go 90 yards for a TD in less than 12 seconds. So which guy do you take? I say go for the guy who's replacing DJ Williams and that is the rookie Woodyard. My reasoning for this is because NO LB Fujita had his best game by a long shot last week against Atlanta (12 tackles) from the same position that Woodyard is now playing. I still think Winborn will have a least 6-8 tackles so he's solid as well.
CAR LB Thomas Davis vs. Det: The guy has quietly been building his numbers and been very consistent with 7-8 tackles most of the season finishing last week with 10 total tackles.
Diles fill-in Bentley for Houston: Fantasy superstar Zack Diles injury has meant 2 things. The first is that his injury gave a huge boost to Demeco Ryans numbers. But the second was it gave IDP players another chance for a good waiver option. Bentley finished with 7 total tackles and a sack last week and goes against the Colts this week who love to run screens and run plays off the edge.
My Pickup of the week if he's available : Bradie James of the Cowboys. Personally, I'm very upset I missed this claim this week in my league. This week James goes up against the Redskins where inside linebackers are averaging an insane 18 tackles a game, highest in the league. (think Portis runs up the middle much?) Keep an eye on the status on Portis though. He's currently 50/50, but I can't imagine him missing a cowboys game
P.S. Paris Lenon should be solid again. Ernie Sims shoulder is hurting and Lenon is helping him finish tackles while racking up extra assists. Keep an eye on the injury status of Dizon. They may try to get him more work to see what he can do since this is a lost season.
DT suggestion of the Week:
NYJ DE Ellis vs. the Patriots. Last week Buffalo DE Ryan Denney had 11 total tackles and 2 pass deflections. I'm not good at math, but that's a lot of FF points. Especially considering Denney was averaging 2.75 tackles a game prior to last week. And, yes, he started and played ever snap of every game this year. Ellis has 7 sacks this year you if he's available, you have to give him a try in this matchup. Don't be the guy who leaves 25 woulda, coulda, shoulda points on the wire. DE's have been very solid against NE all year. I'm half tempted to grab him myself, but my league is geared mores toward LBs and does not require CBs or DEs.
DE Dewayne White is injured and out this week
DE John Abraham is awesome and good to go against a week Denver O-line who will be pass protecting rather than rush blocking most of the day. Lot so passes equals lots of opportunities for Abraham

2008 Fantasy Footbally Week 10 IDP Waiver Pickups Injuries to DJ Williams, Whitner, David Harris, Shaun Rogers and Rankings
Week 10 IDP Waiver Pickups
Starting with Sneaky DB pickups:
Go Ko this week! That's right K0 Simpson. Wait a minute, who??? If you don't recognize that name, how about Bethea, Atogwe or Renaldo Hill?? What do all of these guys have in common? These are all basically no name free safeties who all put up monster numbers when playing the New England Patriots. And guess who the starting free safety is this week against NE. You got it, Go Ko! Need some #s R. Hill put up 7 tackles, Atogwe 7 tackles 1 INT & Colts FS Bethea who put up 2 solos the week prior put up 10 solos week 9 against the Pats. My only small concern is that Buffalo could change up their package vs. the Pats and Bryan Scott who's filling the spot of injured Whitner would become the bread winner. This only happened one other time vs. the Pats this year when the Jets did this and the two SS led the team in tackles that week.
Don't want to take quite so big of a risk? Staying with that same game and same philosophy, go with an oldy, but goody Terrence McGee who yahoo projects at 14.5 points this week.
Following the DeAngelo Hall Recipe: SF DB Walt Harris is a sneaky play vs. Arizona this week. He should be Larry Fitzgerald's doormat all day and doormats get stepped on a lot in heavy traffic. Translation in Fantasy Football - stepped on = many tackles and opportunities. Let's face it, Kurt Warner is great just as Bret Farve is great (or was and kind of is now). And apparently great QBs through quite a few interceptions. Hey, I didn't label them great, I'm just repeating what I hear. The stats don't lie though, Kurt will through an INT or 2 and why not Walt Harris. He's going to have a lot of balls thrown his way.
FS Madieu Williams vs GB: What a start last week with 22 fantasy points. 10 total tackles and an INT. Free Safeties are hard to predict, but I didn't think Williams would do as well as he did last week so I'd say he's as safe a bet as any FS out there this week.
Sneaky Linebacker Pickups for Week 10:
MLB Pat Thomas vs SD should see plenty of tackle opportunities. LT is almost 100% and will easily get his 100 yards and then some. Heck, I'm going to guess Sproles gets his 100 yard game that he always seems to sneak in once or twice a year. KC will be on Defense a lot and Pat Thomas is the starting middle linebacker. He should get at least 5 tackles just standing still and allowing a guy to trip over his face mask.
WLB Omar Gaither vs Giants: The Giants run a lot. And the Eagles Blitz a lot. The best defense agains the Blitz is draws, screens and short slants. Omar Gaither will get at least 6 tackles. Solid FF stats.
NYJ Linebacker Bowens vs STL: Filling in for injured LB David Harris, Bowens has done well for himself with 1 sack in each of his games (that's 2 total). He has also averaged 4 solos a game. I don't feel that St. Louis will run often or even have their offense on the field often in this game. So my recommendation here is banking on Bowens getting a couple sacks in this game. He will not have very many tackling opportunities, however, due to St. Louis being decimated at RB.
Det MLB Paris Lenon vs. Jacksonville: This will be an average, but solid FF game for Lenon. Jordan Dizon, continues to be injured so Lenon owners don't have to look over his shoulder this week. Jacksonville is a running team and the Detroit D should be on the field a lot. The way things work in the NFL, as you may have noticed, is that when a team is utterly embarrassed like the Jaquers were last week by allowing the Bengals to get their first win over a super soft Jaqs effort is they will come out very hard to erase the terrible fan and press fallout that they received all week leading up to Week 10. Ironically, they play the next team in the league that has not won a game yet. Expect Jacksonville to lay it all on the line this week.
Vikings Napoleon Harris MLB vs GB: This is more of a warm body than anything else, but he is a starting MLB in the National Football League, but he only gets the scraps that the vicious front 4 allow him to have. For some reason, Ryan Grant has always been able to run agains this very good run stopping unit. So Harris could be good for double digit fantasy points this week. Division rivalries are always wacky.
Don't try to pick up a Denver replacement for DJ Williams or Boss Bailey. It's way to muddled between 3 guys right now.
Not much of a DT guy:
However, when researching how free safeties do against the Pats, I continually noticed that DTs do very well against them. Those would be Marcus Stroud & Kyle Williams this week. Each very even with Stroud at 22 tackles and 2 sacks and K. Williams at 24 tackles and 1 sack.
DE Dewayne White for Detroit continues his red hot FF streak picking up an INT of all things this last week. Jacksonville's O line has been terrible and plagued with injuries all year. So. he should be able to continue his FF streak
Speaking of red hot, keep an eye on Cleveland DT Shaun Rogers for week 10. It's a short week with them playing this Thursday and his ribs are really hurting.
