Rhodes missed some time due to cramps. Went to the locker room for an IV at one point. Nothing to be worried about. He should be back to his usual snap count next week.NO/MIN--Alex Anzalone got 74%, AJ Klein 100%, and those seem to be the LBs to own. I like both their chances. Anazlone looked pretty natural to me out there. Hoping to get some stats from him before he concusses himself out of the league. 8 solos for Klein, seems like a nice starter all season. Marcus Williams has seemingly surpassed Vonn Bell at FS, I didn't see that coming. Bell barely played, wow. Lattimore is a CB starter, opposite Williams, with Breaux on the IR. Sheldon Rankins with 89% at DT, verry nice.
For MIN, anyone know why Xavier Rhodes didn't play 100%? Banged up? More of the same for MIN, with Sendejo and Harrison Smith the S, Barr and Kendricks the LBs, and Hunter and Grifiin the DE. Tom Johnson with 73% led the DTs. I dunno if there's any surprises coming up for us with MIN, seems pretty set at most interesting spots.

So Butler is out this week. I saw that Hooker is getting the start with Farley. Farley gets SS with Hooker playing FS. Butler might return next week, of course, but Farley is getting a chance here to stick around.LAR/IND--The exciting question that has vexxed IDPers all summer long: Which IND linebacker to own?? got a little bit of clarity this week. I guess. Bostic 100%, Morrison 88%, the rookie Walker with only ST snaps. This is a situation to keep an eye on, and check the evaluations of their games. Matthias Farley with a nice debut: 71%, and 10 total tackles. Darius Butler was at 83%, and Hooker with only 46%, which surprised me. TJ Green was 95%, and is a S playing CB. Not good. IND CBs are worth owning, Melvin had 6 total tackles. Basically, aside from Luck and a WR or two, IND is a terrible team, and their defense is gonna get a lot of work until he returns.
None of the Rams defenders did much, because they were playing a high school offense, and never saw the field. Ogletree and Barron still the LBs, I'd like to know how the team was using Joyner and Alexander at S, because I believe there's value there. I assume Alexander was in the box more, but Joyner had the stats. Rams had screwy snap counts, I assume they were using scrubs by the 3rd Q. Colts suck.
I've considered it, but I have two full time jobs(both I.T. security) and a 5th child due next month spread across 18 years(one of the 5 is also 18 months) and I'll be 44 in November(That's what happens when you marry someone 10 years your junior lol)...I'm exhausted(but might be because I found out yesterday that my vitamin D level is a 10) and my hands are more than full, also need surgery on a torn meniscus. I'm surprised I've been able to contribute in here as much as I have. I've done very well in IDP leagues for the last 7-8 years because I identify and grab guys like Farley, Bostic, Wise, Humber, and Branch before anyone else is on them due to 10-20 hours/week studying film and googling players(I have no social media accounts and follow nobody on twitter, all my finds/calls are my own) and can then spend all my draft picks, bb, equity, etc on offensive side of the ball. I don't have the time I had the last 10 years to dedicate to my leagues and my teams aren't as dominant as they were because of it. It's probably coming to the point where I may have a year or two left and then I'll need to spend my little free time on things besides fantasy football. Hope not, I really love it.Maybe you 3 should start a podcast together then. Take the IDP podcast world by storm and dominate.
It was Anderson, he'd be next after Jones. Anderson started three or four games last year and it one point the Bears considered him a future starter for them long termDark timeline for Bears fans. Jerrell Freeman's on I/R... even Christian Jones is "questionable" w/ an injured back. I didn't see the game - who came in for him? The snap count page implies it was a dude named Jonathan Anderson (w/ 12 snaps - none week 1).
Assuming the stat crews don't change much season-to-season, this may be what you're looking forThis seemed like a lot of assists handed out in this game, is CIN IDP-friendly? Anyone have a link to a study on assist patterns from around the NFL? I know I have seen it, but can't put my fingers on it now.

Cincinnati has always been notoriously assist (and IDP) friendly. A great spot to start your IDP's. The type of place that breaks ties for me when I'm between starting one guy vs another.massraider said:HOU/CIN--Most likely Zach Cunningham was drafted/picked up in your league, but in case, he's a clear add. Cushing is done, and Cunningham was a 3 down LB from the time Cush went down. I will probably check out Cunningham on Game Pass just to see how he did, but I don't own any shares of him, so it's more curiosity than anything. No matter how he looks, opportunity says he needs to be rostered. McKinney remains a 100% 3 down LB, I was a little nervous he'd get pulled this season for a S or coverage LB, but so far so good. Hal and Moore remain the safeties. Honestly, I never really considered either for fantasy this year, neither was a known quantity, and that defense only leaves scraps for the secondary. Too many other good safeties with better situations, I've been ignoring the Texan secondary. But Eddie Pleasant played 42%, worth keeping an eye on if you own Hal or Moore.
For CIN, Vigil and Rey played 100%. Excited Vigil owners need to be waiting for the play time when Burfict returns. I'm not counting on him until I see that the Bengals don't rotate him with Rey. But if He remains 85% or more when Burfict returns, you gotta be pretty excited. Definitely a guy worth watching on Game Pass to see how he's doing. If the Benglas remain terrible, Shawn Williams seems like a safe start at SS. I have a feeling the Bengals aren't this bad, they're just Jekyll and Hyde.

I saw that Dylan Cole picked up some tackles. Curious to hear how many snaps he played...massraider said:HOU/CIN--Most likely Zach Cunningham was drafted/picked up in your league, but in case, he's a clear add.

Tavon injured his shoulder.S
- Tavon Wilson down from 99% to 42%, Killebrew up from 39% to 75% - what happened?
First round pick from 2015 Danny Shelton and third round pick from this year Larry Ogunjobi are solid run stuffers but don't get much penetration.For the second week in a row, the Cleveland DT who played the most snaps was Trevon Coley. The rookie UDFA didn’t do too much in week 1, but against Baltimore, Coley had 4 solos and a FR on 42 snaps. In DT-required leagues, he’s worth watching if he has another solid week.
I get ya. My only thought is Morrison can improve, at this point in his career. Bostic cannot.Morrison is horrendous in coverage. Beatable by a one legged guy in a walking boot horrendous. If you're looking for a 3 down guy he will not be it. Bostic is that guy
Just to note the two things that jumped out at me, both injury issues that need to be watched/mentioned.ChicagoArch said:Jordan Richards dropped from 42 snaps down to 16. Belichick gonna Belichick. Elandon Roberts, the run stuffer, jumped up to over 50% of snaps against one of the most pass-happy teams in the league. Belichick gonna Belichick. 4th Round Rookie, Deatrich Wise, still isn’t getting a substantial snap count, only 28 of 65 snaps. But Wise put up 2 solos, both for a loss, including 1 sack and totaled 5 QB hits. He has a ton of potential. If he starts playing 60%-80% of snaps, look out.
Kenny Vaccaro got benched on Sunday. Too much of Gronk having his way with him. Vonn Bell, who only played 6 snaps week 1, jumped up to 33 snaps in Week 2. He put together 3 solos and 2 assists.
49ers at Seahawks
I’ll be keeping an eye on K’Waun Williams. Williams played 54 snaps as slot corner, up from 29 in Week 1. He had 4 solos, 2 assists and 2 PDs. Dontae Johnson is the other starting CB across from Rashard Robinson. Johnson has played 100% two weeks in a row. This week he had 2 solos and 2 assists after 2 solos last week. When these guys face an actual passing offense, they could put up stats. But Carolina in Week 1 and Russell Wilson with no O-Line don’t offer a lot of opportunity for opposing CBs.
Shaquille Griffin’s stock seemed to drop quickly. After playing 77 of 82 snaps in Week 1, Griffin dropped to 20 of 49 snaps in Week 2. He also didn’t produce a stat. I can’t find any information on an injury. Jeremy Lane was healthy for this game and played 100% of snaps. Lane had 5 solos. Lane will be one of those rare CBs who starts on the outside in base but moves inside in the nickel, making him very valuable. Lane may have been dropped in your league...
I am not sure why it's unofficial still on Kwiat, but pectoral usually means torn so he's very likely to hit IR by tonight/tomorrow.A couple of LB questions....
Is Kwiatkoski officially out for the season? Everything I read on Monday indicated that he was done, but everything I'm reading today says he is "likely" out for the year, pending MRI results. And I don't see anything definitive in the past 24 hours plus (not to mention he's listed as questionable for Week 3). I'm assuming it's just a matter of time before he's on IR, but figured it would have happened by now.
Any thoughts on Hayes Pullard, who is playing more snaps than Toomer for the Chargers? He's a guy that I drafted in a couple of leagues, stashed, then dropped due to limited taxi spots. Wondering if he's once again a good stash (or is he more than that?).
Kwiatkowski is on IR. He's eligible to return. I'm holding him in hopes he does, there will be monster tackles available if so. Pullard is keeping the seat warm for Perryman and might be a cut by week 10, Choosing between him and Kwiatkoswki I'd rather hold for Kwiatkoswki I think he has much better long term potential.A couple of LB questions....

Yeah, I wasn't questioning who has more value. I've been very high on Kwiatkoski since he was drafted, and still am. I was just wondering what his status was (for sure headed to IR versus "likely"). The fact that he may return later in the year definitely helps, though. Ironically, I just promoted him from taxi to my starting lineup in three leagues on Sunday morning. Within a couple of hours, he was likely headed to IR. Sometimes, this hobby is simply nothing more than a war of attrition, it seems.Kwiatkowski is on IR. He's eligible to return.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Thanks.I am not sure why it's unofficial still on Kwiat, but pectoral usually means torn so he's very likely to hit IR by tonight/tomorrow.
Pullard is certainly a stash (re-stash? lol) and definitely has the opportunity to be more than that if he's completely taking over for Toomer.
Toomer is nearly 29 and pretty much JAG - I think he's on his 5th team now, and he graded out pretty poorly last year. He was the hot commodity I think just because he racked up a ton of tackles last year replacing Perryman and Brown sporadically. You don't have to be faster than the bearsyndrome. Toomer wasn't so bad he got benched, but he was bad enough he would/should have been had they had anyone better to play. Now they do.Yeah, I wasn't questioning who has more value.

As for Pullard, I was just wondering if there is a specific reason why Pullard is seeing more action than Toomer, given how Toomer was the hot pickup when Perryman went down (at least in the eyes of many).
Thank you.

Not trying to monopolize the thread with this topic, but upon further reading, I see where he played LB in subpackages last season as well? Should I temper my enthusiasm on him, or does the injury to Berry boost his prospects for this season (in comparison to last season)?I'll echo the sentiments of praise of this thread. It pretty much serves as a one-stop for current IDP content. Thanks! With some uncertainty with Vaccaro I am looking to target an up-trending safety like Farley or Daniel Sorensen. I was more interested in Farley initially, but from reading through notes regarding Sorensen's nickel snaps at linebacker (along with his 3 qb hits), I'm super intrigued by him. I've seen some buzz about him, but I'm wondering if there's not enough.
Tyvon and I just turned our noses up at you!I'm not sure there's two safeties I like more for THIS season than Farley and Sorensen.
Farley could be back on the bench once (IF) Geathers is cleared.I'm not sure there's two safeties I like more for THIS season than Farley and Sorensen.
Is Geathers expected to return this season or are you talking the future? I don't recall Geathers injury which IR he was placed on.Farley could be back on the bench once (IF) Geathers is cleared.
