Last week we hit the top of the defensive end ranks. This time around we’re looking at potential sleepers and matchup plays. Here we go with the second half of the DE ranks, starting with the first Cowboy on the list:

Trust/Distrust

What a great first week of the season. Although I missed tracking most of my players as I was at the Falcons-Saints game, I still stayed on top of stats and standouts. The nice thing is I don’t have to hear anymore of that “Who Dat” for a few more weeks as “Who Dat” is “We Dat,” as in Falcons Rise Up. Anyways, back on track. There were some notable performances in Week 1 by defensive players…

Trust/Distrust Week 5

I’m not sure why, but I can’t think of anything witty to say to introduce this piece. That’s most likely because my rankings mostly were horrible last week and the fact that I’ve been insomniac for nearly a week. Oh well, just pour some coffee down the windpipe, get back to work and no complaining. Yep, back to football we go now. Hopefully this week I’ll provide better player than I did last…

“Round Robinson”: 2015 Defensive End Rankings (1-15)

1. J.J. Watt, HOU – You don’t need the numbers to know that J.J. Watt is far and away the #1 DE and the #1 defensive player in IDP…

“Round Robinson”: 2015 Defensive Tackle Rankings (11-20)

They may be the kickers of the IDP world, but defensive tackles are people, too.  Really, really large people at that. And for those of you who play in deep IDP or dynasty leagues, having a little depth to go with your girth is never a bad thing. So here we go with the second half of the defensive tackle rankings, chock full of fresh young talent and some veteran difference makers donning a new…
