Week 10 IDP Rankings

With four teams on bye this week and players still getting injured left and right around the league, finding value in depth is at its most important at this point in the fantasy season. Noticing which players snap counts are trending upwards or downwards, and being the first to spot a diamond in the rough can be the difference between winning a fantasy championship, and being forgotten as the team that finished in second place. When star players are getting injured across the league, notice which players are coming in to replace them and have the chance to make a noticeable impact on your fantasy team.

In my weekly IDP Waiver Wire article, published every Tuesday, I take a look at a handful of players worth an add either right now, or players to keep an eye on over the next few weeks that have the potential to blossom into lineup-worthy players. You can find this week’s article here, or contact me on my Twitter page @Dr_Brumley for any fantasy related questions or advice.

Trending Up: Emmanuel Ogbah (DE, CLE)

Myles Garrett looks to be fully recovered from a concussion that kept him out of Cleveland’s week 8 game in London against the Vikings and that is great news for fellow Browns lineman Emmanuel Ogbah. Garrett will be lining up on the opposite side of the line from Ogbah, drawing attention from Detroit offensive linemen, opening more opportunities for pressure on Ogbah’s side. Although he didn’t record any tackles in week 8, Ogbah was still a presence on the field, drawing holding penalties, batting down two passes at the line of scrimmage, and blocking an extra point attempt.

 

Trending Down: Gerald McCoy (DT, TB) 

With Jameis Winston being shut down for a few weeks and star wide receiver Mike Evans suspended for one game, the Buccaneers offense is in shambles and defensive players such as McCoy will see their fantasy value affected as a result. With the Buccaneers offense failing to put up points on the scoreboard while being led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, opposing teams, such as the Jets this weekend, should be able to jump out to an early lead and run the ball to control the clock. McCoy, and other Tampa defensive linemen such as Robert Ayers, will have fewer chances for sacks and see a decrease in value.

Trending Up: Brandon Marshall (ILB, DEN)

Ever since Broncos inside linebacker Todd Davis suffered a high ankle sprain in week 7 against the Chargers, teammate Brandon Marshall has risen to the occasion and made the most of the extra tackle opportunities. In his last two games, Marshall has combined for 15 total tackles, including a sack, and he even returned a fumble for a touchdown last week. The Broncos host New England on Sunday Night Football this week, which should bode well for Marshall’s fantasy numbers, as the Patriots offense was on the field for 86 snaps in their last game against the Chargers.

 

Trending Down: Zach Cunningham (ILB, HOU)

After I had him ranked third among rookie linebackers coming into the season, Zach Cunningham has failed to make his mark on the stat sheet that fantasy owners have hoped for in the Vanderbilt product’s rookie season. If Cunningham can’t produce in the next two weeks against the run-heavy offenses of the Rams and Cardinals, then there may be a larger problem than just scheme usage. Have patience with Cunningham in dynasty though, as I still value him as a top-five linebacker in this class moving forward.

40	DeAngelo Hall	WAS	MIN

Trending Up: Eric Reid (SS, SF)

Eric Reid is becoming a beneficiary of injuries as his teammates all seem to be dropping like flies in the 49ers defense. With Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt heading to the injured reserve in back-to-back weeks, Reid reclaims his starting strong safety role and will play next to rookie Adrian Colbert. Tartt has been a solid low-end DB1 to high-end DB2 playing this position for San Francisco this season, and there’s no reason Reid shouldn’t be able to do the same.

 

Trending Down: Tavon Wilson (SS, DET)

The Detroit Lions defense faces a negative matchup this week as they are set to host the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field. If Lions safety Tavon Wilson fails to record a turnover against the Browns, he may struggle to make a dent in the stat sheet as the Browns offense will struggle to stay on the field. Play Wilson with risk/reward in mind, as we all know an interception returned for a touchdown against the Browns isn’t the most uncommon thing to happen in the league this year.
