SAF | K’Von Wallace | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Jalen Thompson | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Andre Chachere | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #27
- Kyrs Barnes was injured. No acceptable team backup if he’s out in Week 4.
- Zaven Collins was injured, and Victor Dimukeje is someone to watch.
- At this point, Kyzir White is becoming matchup-proof.

SAF | Richie Grant | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Jaylinn Hawkins | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #10
- Troy Andersen (arm/shoulder) was injured, and current updates aren’t encouraging.
- Nate Landman has some possible production-by-default appeal replacing Andersen.
- Edge rushers have a nearly strong matchup but not the personnel to match it.

SAF | Kyle Hamilton | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Geno Stone | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | D.Worley/M.Williams | NA |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #13
- Kyle Hamilton had huge splash plays in Week 3, padding his box score a bit.
- Daryl Worley replaced Ar’Darius Washington (IR), who was replacing the original starter, Marcus Williams.
- Williams is still dealing with a prectoral injury and is still very questionable.
- Noting, Daryl Worly produced nicely in Week 3.

LB/ED | V.Miller/L.Floyd | Weak |
SAF | Jordan Poyer | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Micah Hyde | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Taylor Rapp | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #22
- Beware of top DL performances in Week 3. The Dolphins are currently bottom six on average in DL production. This includes the heavy rotation of the Bills’ defensive line.
- The Solid ⬆️ might as well be strong marks. They are that close.

OLB | Yetur Gross-Matos | OK |
SAF | Vonn Bell | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | X.Woods/S.Franklin | Solid |
SAF | Jeremy Chinn | OK |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #5
- Frankie Luvu left Week 3 with a hip injury, and Deion Jones was his replacement.
- Yetur Gross-Matos seems to have overtaken Justin Houston in snaps and produced.
- When Xavier Woods went down with a hamstring, it was Sam Franklin, not Chinn, who got the boost. Although, other than maybe Vonn Bell, there isn’t currently a secure safety to emerge.
- Shaq Thompson was placed on injured reserve (leg) on 9/19.

SAF | Juan Thornhill | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Rodney McLeod | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #15
- Stable, but note that the only true full-time is the safeties and Myles Garrett. Everything else, including Za’Darius Smith, is more heavily rotating.
Dallas Cowboys

LB✔️ | Micah Parsons | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | 🟢Jayron Kearse | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Donovan Wilson | Solid |
SAF | Malik Hooker | OK ⬆️ |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #12
- Demarcus Lawrence is the only DL that saw more than 50% of the snaps so far this season, topping out in Week 3 with 67% after just 51% in Week 2.
- Malik Hooker played over Donvan Wilson way more in Week 3 after returning from an injury. However, this time around, Hooker is playing lights out, according to PFF. So Wilson might not overtake him this time.
- Damone Clark snap counts, Week 1 66%, Week 2 36%, and Week 3 69%. Difficult to trust when you add PFFs well under par 48.0 grade.
Detriot Lions

POS | Lions | Strength |
DE | Aidan Hutchinson | Solid |

ILB✔️ | 🟢Alex Anzalone | Solid ⬆️ |
ILB | Derrick Barnes | Solid |
ILB | Jack Campbell | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Tracy Walker | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Kerby Joseph | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Brian Branch | OK ⬆️ |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #31
- Use caution if Kerby Joseph (hip) plays when it comes to trusting any of the three safeties. We suggest avoiding it if that’s the case.
- The likelihood would be either Walker or Branch takes the hit in snaps. Not to mention that on paper, this matchup is very poor, and it’s the position in the Lion’s defensive scheming that’s weighing heavy on the strength.
- He’s producing, but Jack Campbell is only seeing an average of around 45% of the snaps so far.
Green Bay Packers
Positional Matchup Ranking (vs. DET)
- ILB

POS. | Packers | Strength |
DE | Kenny Clark | OK ⬆️ |

OLB | R.Gary/K.Enagbare | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Darnell Savage Jr. | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Rudy Ford | Solid |
SAF | Jonathan Owens | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #17
- De’Vondre Campbell (ankle) was listed as a nonparticipant during the walkthrough on Tuesday.
- Isaiah McDuffie can fill in nicely in this case for Campbell; just understand there’s no guarantee yet.
- Rashan Gary broke out after his 2022 injury finally, but only with 38% of the snaps.
Houston Texans
Positional Matchup Ranking (vs. PIT)
- ILB
- SAF
- EDGE

POS. | Texans | Strength |
DE | Will Anderson Jr. | OK ⬆️ |
DT | Sheldon Rankins | OK |
DT | Maliek Collins | Weak |
DE | Jonathan Greenard | OK |
ILB | Henery To’oTo’o | Solid ⬆️ |
ILB | 🟢Denzel Perryman | Solid ⬆️ |
ILB | B.Cashman/C.Harris | Weak |
SAF | Jalen Pitre | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Jimmie Ward | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | E.Murray/M.J.Stewart | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #19
- Interesting case: Denzel Perryman (hand) was out. The “vibe” and snap count back up that Henery To’oTo’o has likely indeed replaced Christain Harris, starting next to Perryman when he returns.
- Out of nowhere, ILB Blake Cashman played 63% to Harris’s 62% and To’oTo’o’s 95%.
- According to a local beat writer reports, Pitre (chest) is expected to return to practice this week. Eric Murray seems to be his direct backup and M.J. Stewarts for when Jimmie Ward (injury prone). Don’t trust Pitre his first week back to see a full load of snaps. They’ll likely ease him back in.
- The safety matchup on paper isn’t solid in this contest. Hence, the marks, not the drama.
Indianapolis Colts
Positional Matchup Ranking (vs. LAR)

POS. | Colts | Strength |
DE | Kwity Paye | Solid ⬆️ |

ILB✔️ | 🟢Zaire Franklin | Strong |
ILB | E.J. Speed | Solid |
SAF | Rodney Thomas | OK |
SAF | Julian Blackmon | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Nick Cross | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #28
- Shaquille Leonard is still at about 70% of the snaps.
- E.J. Speed still holding around 50% and producing.
- Julian Blackmon is trying to emerge, becoming an option. But not looking great this week, so if he overachieves, we indeed may have something worth a waiver wire listing.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Positional Matchup Ranking (vs. ATL)
Top 3 Team-D play in Dirty-O Only Leagues.
- SAF

POS. | Jaguars | Strength |

OLB | Travon Walker | Strong |
SAF | Rayshawn Jenkins | Strong |
SAF | Andre Cisco | Strong |
SAF | Andrew Wingard | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #14
- Devin Lloyd (thumb) was injured during Week 3. Chad Muma stepped in a lot while Lloyd tried to still play.
- Edge rusher Travon Walker averaging 85% of the snaps, and Josh Allen isn’t close yet.
- Team-D may be #14, but it’s climbed fast from the bottom of the heap in Week 1, with a few years worth of history of always being near the top third or better in allowing the production of the edge.

SAF | Bryan Cook | Solid |

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #24
- Drue Tranquill played full-time in place of an injured Nick Bolton (ankle).
- Also, note that many of the other starters sat out a lot in a blowout versus the Bears (41-10) in Week 3.

SAF✔️ | Derwin James | Solid |
SAF | Alohi Gilman | Solid |
SAF | J.T. Woods | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #23
- Backup edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu is gaining a lot of momentum, with Joey Bosa (hamstring) playing sparingly.
- Eric Kendricks was out again. Kenneth Murray slid in as the full-time ILB.
- Nick Niemann has played around 77% of the snaps so far in the two games while Kendricks is out.
- Derwin James (hamstring) was replaced by J.T. Woods and did very little.
- Alohi Gilman gets a boost if Derwin James is out.

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #2
- Rookie Tyree Wilson was down to 18% of the snaps in Week 3. Opting to use heavier IDL rotation instead. As well as defensive end depth talent Malcolm Koonce.

SAF | Brandon Jones | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #25
- Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is day-to-day.
- Andrew Van Ginkel is his backup and has been a risk in the past.
- Also, noting that in a 70 to 20 blowout over Denver, the Dolphins rested many starters.

OLB | Wonnum/Davenport | Weak |
SAF | Harrison Smith | Solid |
SAF | Camryn Bynum | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Josh Metellus | OK ⬆️ |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #20
- Josh Metellus (shoulder) left the Week 3 contest and returned but is still questionable. When he still played 95% of the snaps, we have no replacement worth mentioning.
- Ivan Pace lost around 18% of his snaps and was down to 62%. It’s normal fluctuation at the team’s second ILB. It isn’t as warm and fuzzy as we thought we might get when that looked like it could change.
New England Patriots

OLB | Josh Uche | Weak |
SAF | Kyle Dugger | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Jabrill Peppers | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Adrian Phillips | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #29
- Christain Barmore had a large boost in snaps when Davon Godchaux (ankle) exited the Week 3 contest.
- Jahlani Tavai, the team’s second ILB, has ranged from 56% to 73% and landed at 60% of snaps in Week 3. That’s actually a little generous compared to his role last year with the Patriots, but still really risky. Especially when everything comes down the the flow of the game he’s currently playing.
New Orleans Saints

ILB | Jack Baun | Weak |
SAF | SUS | |
SAF | Tyrann Mathieu | Solid |
SAF | Jordan Howden | OK |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #26
- Every contest, the IDLs have around 5 DTs rotating that are fairly evenly between 40% to 50% of the snaps per contest.
- Marcus Maye was suspended for illegal sustains before Week 3.
- So, in his place, the rookie Jordan Howden played a full game but only recorded 1 solo and 3 assists.
- This would really be a week to consider sitting Granderson and Cameron. Although it is a divisional game, make sure the replacements are worth the switch.
New York Giants

OLB | A.Ojulari / J.Ward | Weak |
SAF | Jason Pinnock | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Xavier McKinney | Solid ⬆️ |
SAF | Isaiah Simmons | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #16
- Micah McFadden is becoming a very solid contributor, with an average of 70% of the snaps. So far, the newest ILB trend across the NFL this season.
- Kayvon Thibodeaux got his first sack of the year to cap off a solid contest. So why do we have a waiver wire warning? Simple consistency issues. Week 3 was a very favorable edge matchup, and the Seahawks are bottom third in allowing overall production off the edge.
- Xavier McKinney finally got the opportunity to produce.
- Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) is questionable if it mattered anywhere. Jihad Ward doesn’t get a boost.
- Seattle is dead last in allowing production (any stats) to the IDLs. Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams’s personal data and history carry their strengths that are marked.

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #30
- Although Adrian Amos has been producing, we assume he’s still the backup to Tony Adams (hamstring).
- It’ll be really tough for IDL Quinnen Williams to bounce back this week, but he’s very capable of doing so.

LB/ED | Haason Reddick | Weak |
SAF | Reed Blankenship | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Justin Evans | OK ⬆️ |
SAF | Terrell Edmunds | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #4
- It’s about time to drop Haasan Reddick in even deeper leagues if he continues to flop, if you haven’t already. We did mark him weak. So this will be his 2023 breakout game, most likely.
- Nicholas Morrow isn’t getting the job done with Nakobe Dean still out. He’s only marked as it is because he keeps playing 100% of the snaps and weighs into our start/sit formula.
- Justin Evans (neck) is questionable. Prior to last week’s contest, Terrell Edmunds looked like a serviceable injury replacement when Reed Blankenship was out in Week 2.

SAF✔️ | Kevin Byard | Solid |
SAF | Elijah Molden | Weak |
Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #32
- The Bengals are starting out bad to begin with. They sit #32 for a reason. IDP can’t produce enough unless splash plays happen if the opponent’s Dirty-O can’t stay on the field. Hence, to a degree, the formula adjusts accordingly and, unfortunately, can level things out in some cases.
