IDP Streaming Matchups for IDL and Edge: Week 8

IDP streaming is essential for staying competitive in your leagues. Streaming involves analyzing weekly matchups and playing different players with the best potential outcomes each week. In this edition, we will examine the top IDP streaming IDL and Edge options.

Our Week 7 steaming IDL was a 50/50 split. Grady Jarrett finished with five tackles, with one going for a loss, which was a hit. B.J. Hill was a miss, accruing just a single tackle and a pass defended. The Edge streamers were better. Jared Verse had four tackles, with one going for a loss. Sam Hubbard had a blowup game with three tackles, one for a loss, a sack, a pass defended, an interception, and a forced fumble. Here are the top IDP streaming IDL and Edge matchups for Week 8.

IDP Streaming IDL Nnamdi Madubuike, Baltimore Ravens

Matchup: Cleveland Browns - Ranked 14th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Who would have thought that at this point of the 2024 season, Madubuike would be riding the bench? Madubuike finished 2023 with a career year, dropping 56 tackles and 13 sacks, both career-highs. He has followed that up with 2023, looking like a fluke. Through the first seven games, Madubuike has just 13 tackles and two sacks. 

Madubuike has been providing pressure, accruing 23 in the first seven games, but he has not been finishing. What better matchup to have a big game from a pass rusher than against the Browns? The Browns have allowed 35 sacks on the season, ten more than any other team. Madubuike should be in all of your lineups as a top-tier IDP Streamer.

Jarrett has been playing fast this season and has routinely found his way into opposing backfields. 

The Falcons take on the Buccaneers in Week 8. The Buccaneers are tied for the fifth-most sacks allowed, with 20. They also went from one of the best receiver corps to one of the worst in a week, losing Chris Godwin and Mike Evans to injury. This could result in Baker Mayfield holding the ball longer than he wants to, making Jarrett an excellent IDP streaming choice for Week 8.
