The coveted "green dot" is the sticker the NFL places on the helmet of the player that's got a radio back to the coach on the sideline. For IDP purposes this makes the player invaluable as he's unlikely to come off the field and gets extra chances to accumulate stats. We all know the obvious ones but sometimes a guy can sneak in here and all of a sudden be getting 100% snap counts. This thread is to alert us who's wearing it now and I hope the community can help me keep it updated when things change, be it due to injury, performance, or any other reason.
WOW, going through this list makes me really glad I'm doing this, there are a TON of situations I am not sure about. I don't recall this kind of uncertainty ever. Either I'm getting too old too fast or there's an unusual amount of unrest out there.
BUF
MIA
NEP
NYJ
BAL
CJ Moseley - MLB. 3 down guy and all around FF stud. If you have him you start him, period. If you don't have him, go get him.
CIN
What's gonna happen here? Does Burfict even wear it when he's in? What happens when he's gone? Vigil put up some monster numbers, is he the real MIKE there? Where does Preston Brown fit in? He put up a couple of very solid seasons in BUF but they didn't even offer him and all he could garner was one year at a very cheap $4M. That's below even a "prove it" contract in my mind - is he JAG?
CLE
They didn't bring any significant talent in despite a bajillion dollars of cap space and a truckload of picks, so this bodes well for - who - Kirksey I assume?
PIT
Huge chasm here, what's gonna happen?
HOU
Is Cunningham ready to step up?
IND
JAX
TEN
I assume Woodyard is the guy here but that's more because he's the solid vet vs. the rookie.
DEN
This has to be Brandon Marshall, yes? Davis can't really be a candidate based on snap counts and they didn't invest heavily in the position.
KCC
All kinds of who-the-hell-knows up in here.
LAC
OAK
Tahir Whitehead is a candidate?
Derrick Johnson's been around long enough for a cup of coffee but he's been in the league for 13 years so he's seen it all. Is he still a 3 down guy though? Will they have to run this through someone else? Is there someone else?
DAL
Sean Lee leaves the field a lot but I gotta assume he's got the dot when he's there. What happens when he's not?
NYG
The rare two-candidate situation. Ogletree has put up some major 3 down performances but he stunk it up last year. Here's hoping that's just a scheme fit issue. Goodson has also put up some monsters but he's missed a ton of time - can they trust him with the dot?
PHI
Whoa how can I not even have a guess to pose here? At least I don't have to consider Kendricks. Just kidding, I wouldn't have considered him. Would I?
WAS
Zach Brown I assume?
CHI
They have a ton of LB's that make a ton of tackles when they are on the field, so knowing this one is paramount. Problem is I have no idea who it will be.
DET
I thought Jarrad Davis would be the no-brainer but apparently he struggled as a rookie? Where is this one at?
GBP
Martinez was a tackle machine but is this due to talent or situation? Does it even matter? Is there anyone else? This feels like a "he's not great so he gets run at a lot so makes a ton of tackle but they have nothing better so nothing is going to change yet" situation to me. IDP dreamland.
MIN
Kendricks should be the guy here, he's like a missle out there. Not huge numbers but that's probably due more to having so much help around him that they all poach each other.
ATL
Deion Jones. Done.
CAR
Luke Kuechley. Done.
NOS
Demario Davis looks to be walking into a wide open MIKE job, will he have the sticker?
TBB
I think this is Kwon at MIKE but Beckwith put up some great numbers for a while when Kwon was out, can he force his way back in with a full year of experience behind him? This is a studly LB corp.
ARI
LAR
Cory Littleton takes the early lead.

I think it was Ogletree, just it default to Barron? He's definitely a 3 down guy and Wade like his type of player, but is there someone else that sneaks in and earns the trust?
SEA
Bobby Wagner is the fourth of the four no-brainers on this list. If you doubt him, just stop. And maybe stop playing IDP because doubting Wagner is, well, just stop.
SFO
It's gotta be Foster, right? Does anyone else even compute?
