NFL teams have recently shifted their focus to a committee approach to defensive line deployment, altering how IDP managers draft. Instead of having defensive linemen on each team play a near every-down role, players are deployed as pass-rush/run-down specialists. This opened the door for more potential IDP streaming options.
Being able to stream positions is key to winning leagues. It is impossible to nail down every roster position with studs. You always walk away with one of your position groups feeling thin. This weekly article will cover IDP streaming matchups for the IDL and Edge positions to help you win your leagues.
Last week was a bust outside of Derick Hall, who came away with a sack. Arik Amstead played great and had seven pressures, though he could not hit home. Here are the top IDP streaming options for Week 13.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Arik Armstead, Jacksonville Jaguars
Matchup: Tennessee Titans - Ranked 20th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Yes, Armstead is leading the way as an IDP streaming option once again. I also know that he had a lame box score in Week 12. Armstead performed wonderfully, though. He finished the game with 7 pressures, which brings him up to 20 in his last four games. Armstead has provided quality pressure this season. He has not had fewer than three pressures in a game since Week 5.
The Jaguars play the Titans in Week 13, who have allowed 45 sacks, which is the most in the NFL. Armstead should continue to wreak havoc on the interior and is a terrific IDP streaming option for Week 13.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Justin Eboigbe, Los Angeles Chargers
Matchup: Las Vegas Raiders - Ranked 30th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Eboigbe is not the consistent force you look for in a starting interior defensive lineman, but he is capable of big games. He had four tackles and two sacks a few weeks back against Minnesota, and just had six tackles in Week 12. The Chargers have desperately needed some pass-rush presence on the interior, and Eboigbe has provided that in stints.
They square off against a disheveled Raiders offense that currently ranks second in sacks allowed (41). The Raiders are genuinely in danger of surpassing the Titans this week for most sacks allowed. Fire up Eboigbe as an excellent IDP streaming option for Week 13.
IDP Streaming Option: Edge Brandon Dorlus, Atlanta Falcons
