IDP Rankings – Week Eleven

IDP Rankings – Week Eleven

Mr. Burfict has been absolutely beasting for the Bengals and leads the NFL in total tackles with 103 total tackles already under his belt in 10 games. Vontaze Burfict may take a bit of a step back with Geno Atkins out for the season and leaving an extra man free from the double teams he would command but he has cemented his place among the NFL’s elite linebackers in terms of fantasy production despite being an undrafted rookie free agent pickup by the Bengals last season.

DeMeco Ryans has been rock solid this season and his 71 solo tackles ranked 2nd in the league while his 89 total tackles rank fourth. Ryans has solidified himself a fantasy force at the linebacker position and comes in as a LB1 this week.

Earl Thomas has been racking up the tackles for the Seahawks and is currently 2nd in the NFL among DB’s with 62 solo tackles and 72 total tackles and leads all safeties with four interceptions. Thomas has returned to the DB1 fray this season and will be a top five option for the rest of the season.

T.J Ward has been a rock solid IDP force this season at the defensive back position and comes in as a top ten play in week eleven. Ward is tied for fifth in the NFL for solo tackles at the defensive back position and has also chipped in two picks, five pass deflections and a defensive touchdown. Continue to trot out Ward as a IDP starter at defensive back.

Chandler Jones continues to be one of the highest upside defensive end options in fantasy and comes in as our number two ranked play this week. The defensive end position is sometimes boom or bust so we opt to rank upside over matchup as there are very little guarantees at this position.

Lamarr Houston of the Raiders has been a strong IDP force this season racking up 33 solo tackles and 4 sacks thus far on the season. Houston has also recorded two forced fumbles and one recovery and is in the top ten in tackles for loss. Houston comes in as our seventh ranked defensive line play for week eleven.
