IDP Draft Preview: Best and Worst-Case Scenarios for the Top DBs in... fantasysharks.com Thu 4/10/14 9:06 AM
It's the calm before the storm.
With the combine and pro days all wrapped up, and free agency winding down, it's time to play the waiting game until the 2014 NFL draft gets rolling on May 8.
That hardly means there's nothing to talk about, however. We've got an entire month to speculate about this year's incoming rookie class, including college football's top defensive stars.
We've already hit the defensive linemen and the linebackers , so let's wrap up our look at best and worst-case IDP landing spots for this year's rookie class by peering into the murky cloud that is trying to figure out defensive backs.
Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
Best Case: Arizona Cardinals
With Yeremiah Bell reportedly set to retire and Tyrann Mathieu coming back from a torn ACL, there's more than a little uncertainty at the back end of the Arizona defense. At least one draftnik believes the Cardinals may look to address that uncertainty by adding Louisville safety Calvin Pryor. Pat Kirwan of CBS Sports writes of the Cardinals making Pryor the 20th overall pick, saying, "Pryor is a hard-hitting safety and a Day 1 starter. Pryor was in on 218 tackles in 38 games. He also forced nine fumbles and picked off seven passes."
More importantly to IDP owners, a landing spot in Arizona would likely mean a starting job at strong safety (and potential IDP DB2 value) right out of the gate.
Worst Case: undefined undefined undefinedundefinedundefined undefined undefined undefined Baltimore Ravens It may seem a bit odd for the Baltimore Ravens to go the safety route in the first round for a second consecutive year. However, one of Kirwan's colleagues at CBS thinks that could happen.
Dane Brugler wrote of the pick, "Could the Ravens go safety in back-to-back years? Why not, that's one possibility with James Ihedigbo not coming back. Pairing Pryor with Matt Elam would give Baltimore options in the deep half."
That may be all well and good for the Ravens and even Pryor, but coach John Harbaugh also showed last year with Elam that he won't rush a young player onto the field who isn't ready, and that would add more than a little uncertainty to Pryor's short-term fantasy outlook.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
Best Case: Pittsburgh Steelers From an IDP perspective, Clinton-Dix faces something of an uphill battle in the NFL. Not because he isn't a very talented young defensive back, but because of the way he'll probably be utilized at the professional level. However, there are a ...
6-Up; 6-Down: IDP Risers and Fallers for 2013 fantasysharks.com Mon 6/3/13 6:00 AM
As we usher out May and welcome in June, that wonderful time of year affectionately known as ‘shorts and shells' season is in full swing. Or, as the NFL prefers to call them, organized team activities (OTAs) are underway throughout the country, and, per usual this time of year, everyone is looking stronger and faster than last season.
There is an air of hope permeating from every team (well, almost every team ... sorry New York Jets) that the opening of the new season brings.
While depth charts are written in pencil this time of year, it is still an idea to begin formulating ideas of which players are in line to contribute more than they have in the past and which players may see their fantasy glory days coming to an end.
The IDP (Individual Defensive Players) landscape is slowly taking shape despite the fact that there is no contact allowed in OTAs (unless you are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, apparently) and I've come up with a quick look at some players who are poised to make some serious fantasy moves in 2013.
Some are poised to make their move up fantasy draft boards as they ascend to full-time positions on their respective defenses and opportunities increase for production. Others are unfortunately facing the prospect of seeing their value decline as schemes, age or personal moves conspire to hinder their fantasy worth moving forward.
I am an eternal optimist, so let's kick it off with some players that will be, in the grand tradition of George Jefferson, "Movin' on up."
UP
Rashad Johnson, SS/FS, Arizona: Johnson was a third round draft selection (95th overall) back in 2009 for the Cardinals and it appears that he will finally see a prominent role in 2013 with the departures of Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes from the desert.
It's taken a bit longer than anticipated, but Johnson will line up opposite new addition Yeremiah Bell as the Cardinals' starting safeties duo. While early reports out of OTAs have Bell at free safety and Johnson at strong safety, there is the possibility that their roles may reverse at some point this season.
Bell is solid against the run and a bit of a liability in coverage, while, to-date in his career, Johnson has shown to be stronger in coverage than run support. In his most extended playing time back in 2011, Johnson racked up 51 total tackles, one fumble recovery and a pass defended while playing 500 defensive snaps.
Last season Johnson saw his snap count plummet to only 166 but he did manage to pick off two ...
IDP Cheatsheet: Week 17 fantasysharks.com Thu 12/29/11 5:20 AM
It's Week 17 of the 2011 National Football League season, and while the majority of IDP leagues were wrapped up a week ago there's still one more game to go in some leagues, and it's for all the proverbial marbles.
To help you prepare for this very important week's action here's a look at my Top 30 defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs for Week Seventeen of the 2011 season in IDP leagues.
These rankings are based on Default IDP Manor Scoring, which awards 1 point for solos, .5 points for assists, 2 points each for fumbles forced and recovered, 4 points for interceptions, sacks, and safeties, 6 points for defensive touchdowns, and 1 point for passes defensed. It's a balanced scoring system, so if your IDP league is especially tackle-heavy or big play-heavy some players may move up (or down) a few spots.
