Week 1 Easy IDP Rankings Start/Sit Charts scrolling index and notes. The ⬆️ Indicates there is a potential upside to the next level. A (*) are the known NFL players for consistent IDP production, no matter the match-up strength. If there are two players appearing on one line, there’s either a question of rotation, health, or who the starter is. A designated DE or OLB are Edge Rushers in those required formats. Strength stands for the opponent’s current match-up production allowed.

• Top Suggested Avoid: Brian Asamoah – Let’s see that Week 1 snap count first, and go from there.
• Top Stock Satch: Ryan Neal – There is season-long DB1 potential.
• Top Player Watch: Marcus Davenport – Is he a better Vikings “standing” OLB than a former Saints “hand in the dirt” DE edge rusher?

7. Tennesse @ New Orleans

Top Match-Up IDP Rankings

1. Pete Werner – ILB
2. Azeez Al-Shaair – ILB
3. Demario Davis – ILB

ILB	Jack Baun	Weak
SAF	Marcus Maye	OK ⬆️
SAF	Tyrann Mathieu	OK ⬆️
SAF	Jordan Howden	Weak

• Top Notable Avoid: Amani Hooker – Rarely ever has lived up to any matchup strength as a full-time starter.
• Hot Positional Watch: Jack Gibbens/Chance Campbell/Monty Rice – If a starter is ever a team ILB2 announced, it could be worth seeing how many snaps come with the job.
• Top Stock Watch: Jeffery Simmons / Harold Landry – It’s a tough match-up off the edge, but pairing the two together again weighed in heavily.

8. Houston @ Baltimore

ILB	Patrick Queen	Solid ⬆️
OLB	Tyus Bowser	OK ⬆️
SAF	Kyle Hamilton	Solid
SAF	Marcus Williams	Solid
SAF	Geno Stone	Weak

• Best Matchup Play: Jalen Pitre – Only because Roquan Smith has Patrick Queen to contend with.
• Top Notable Avoid: Defensive Lines – Poor matchup strength versus talent and weighing in the normal upfront football.
• Hot Positional Watch: Will Anderson Jr. – What if he overachieves in a very formidable edge match-up?
• Top Stock Watch: Ravens Edge Rushers – A lot of noise coming out of Baltimore again, let’s see it first.

9. Arizona @ Washington

Top Match-Up IDP Rankings

1. Kyzir White – ILB
2. Budda Baker – SAF
3. Josh Allen – DT

ILB	Khaleke Hudson	Weak
SAF	Kamren Curl	Solid ⬆️
SAF	Darrick Forrest	Solid
SAF	Jartavius Martin	Weak

• Top Notable Avoid: Zaven Collins – DE – Best practice, wait and see what we have first.
• Hot Positional Watch: Darrick Forest – He was on a huge roll as a starter towards the last half of last season.
• Top Stock Watch: Josh Woods – If the former one-time stand-out sticks, it could offer a snap count percentage worth paying attention to in deeper formats.

10. Green Bay @ Chicago

Top Match-Up IDP Rankings

1. De’Vondre Campbell – ILB
2. Quay Walker – ILB

ILB	*Tremaine Edmunds	Solid ⬆️
ILB	Jack Sanborn	Weak
SAF	Jaquan Brisker	Solid
SAF	Eddie Jackson	Solid
SAF	Elijah Hicks	Weak

• Rankings Note: All Four ILBs are tied in the rankings. (1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D)
• Top Notable Avoid: IDL – All are uncharted territory.
• Hot Positional Watch: Rashan Gary – It’s highly unlikely he’ll play an entire game’s worth of snaps. But if he does and can, solid is his risky ceiling along with a potential Preston Smith sitting with a hot edge matchup.
• Top Stock Watch: Yannick Ngakoue – He only has to record 8 sacks to record more than the entire defensive line last year. And that’s a pretty tough matchup to add to one on paper in Week 1.

11. Las Vegas @ Denver

SAF	Caden Sterns	Weak

• Notable Avoid: Broncos Pass Rushers – Tough matchup on paper as well as the unknowns.
• Hot Positional Watch: Alex Singleton – A new pay day may come with more snaps per contest.
• Top Stock Watch: Robert Spillane – Do we have a tier-one ILB ceiling to look forward to?

SAF	Kyle Dugger	Strong
SAF	Jabrill Peppers	OK ⬆️
SAF	A.Phillips/J.Mills	OK

• Warranted Avoid: Any Safety – Not named Kyle Dugger.
• Hot Positional Watch: Zach Cunningham – Again back in a starting lineup, but will it be part-time? Can Nakobe Dean stand the heat the first few weeks?
• Top Deep Stock Watch: Marte Mapu – Another future safety nickelbacker dynasty hybrid?

• Best Matchup Play: Derwin James – 99.9% match-up proof.
• Top Notable Avoid: Chargers DLs – It’s a tough matchup across the front.
• Hot Positional Watch: David Long – Can he overtake and be the Miami ILB1?
• Top Stock Watch: Kenneth Murray – Again.

OLB	Azeez Ojulari	OK ⬆️

SAF	Xavier McKinney	Solid
SAF	Jason Pinnock	Solid

• Top Notable Avoid: Both Team’s ILB2 – (Cox/McFadden) Part-time, at best.
• Hot Positional Watch: Bobby Okereke – It should be the start of becoming matchup-proof, as almost every main Giants ILB has been occupied by an above-par player.
• Top Stock Watch: Giants Safeties – With Simmons now in the mix and a defensive weapon anywhere they play him, is there a “2022 Julian Love” (DB1) title to be had?
• Designation Status: Isaiah Simmons – We’ll leave him in flux, some fantasy football leagues have already said they’d go strictly LB. Although let’s see what transpires in Week 1, and he’s not an avoid by any means.

SAF	Adrian Amos	OK
SAF	Tony Adams	Weak

• Top Notable Avoid: Both Team’s DEs – Both are known to have a long history of heavy rotations. And it’ll need time to develop a week or more this season to see. If it ever will, that is.
• Hot Positional Watch: Jets Safeties – Reportedly a pleasant surprise, Tony Adams could be pushing Adrian Amos for playing time, and one of two starting spots.
• Top Stock Watch: Bills ILB2 – The winner might not be clear for a week or two, but worth noting as a potential and productive scenario to watch.
