Last minute IDP help...

Devon White has some illness and is questionable for tomorrow. I think he's got the HIV, but it sucks because he has been a beast since he got healthy. Anyway, here are a couple of options I have...


Benardrick McKinney at TEN (23rd in LB points against) - Pretty solid, but nothing spectacular. Very consistent, though. Probably the safest play.

Jayon Brown vs HOU (25th in LB points against) - Put up double digits the last 3 weeks (though he scored a TD last week).

Nick Kwiatkoski at GB (30th in LB points against) - Danny Trev and Roquan are supposed to be out and this guy is the next man up. Put up 10 points in each of the last two weeks (decent for a LB) and I think he is still playing teams while starting, so he has extra chances at tackles.

Bud Dupree vs BUF (9th in LB points against) - I don't normally go after edge rushers because they are kind of boom or bust, but Dupree has been pretty steady. Plays Sunday night, which should make absolutely no difference, but I like to have more guys in the later games.

Craig Robertson vs IND (3rd in LB points against) - AJ Klein and Kiko Alonso are not scheduled to play, so Robertson would be the next man up. He gets a lot of tackles and, as with Kwiatkoski, I think he plays teams while he is starting. Plays Monday night, see above.


1 pt per tackle (solo or assist)
4 pts per INT
1 pt TFL
1 pt QB hit
2 pts FF
2 pts FR
1 pt PD
1/30 return yards (INT or Fumble)
6 pts TD
9 pts TD over 40 yards

Dupree is ranked 1st of my available free agents overall this year. Brown is 3rd and McKinney is 4th. The other two are injury replacements, so their numbers would be a little skewed. The guy who is 2nd (Matt Judon) played Thursday, so I can't pick him up.

Normally when looking at IDPs I look for the one that makes the most tackles per game. Can you do a sort by that?

McKinney - 93
Brown - 84 (missed 1 game)
Dupree - 55

These are solo tackles and assists combined.

I would go with McKinney if you are supposed to win. If the other team is supposed to win, I would gamble with the someone that is high in TOs if he is close in tackles per game.

Been playing Kwiatkoski in my IDP league. No worries.

Dupree for upside. Boom or bust understood.

The polish guy for da bears gets my vote

@femurov i know nothing about IDP, so id say the bears go, due to projected tackle volume. Why do you think he has HIV

It says illness. I figure it is either that or the clap.
