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.
It was a rough go of it for Week 13 with our sleeper, James Pearce Jr., as the only hit. There are some terrific matchups to take advantage of for Week 14. Let's take a look at the top IDP streaming options for Week 14.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Braden Fiske, Los Angeles Rams
Matchup: Arizona Cardinals - Ranked 22nd in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Fiske has not had quite the success that he did as a rookie, and the same can be said for his interior running mate, Kobie Turner. The good news is that Fiske is turning a corner. He has truly turned it up and played spectacularly over his last two games, including a six-tackle and one-sack match in Week 13. The Rams' defensive line is still young and elite, and they should continue to wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines.
They play the Cardinals in Week 14. The Cardinals have been throwing at an obscene rate since Jacoby Brissett has taken over under center. This opens up plenty of pass-rush opportunities. The Cardinals have allowed 42 sacks on the season, the fourth-most in the league. Fiske is an excellent Week 14 IDP streaming option.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Moro Ojomo, Philadelphia Eagles
Matchup: Los Angeles Chargers - Ranked 28th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Ojomo has become a mainstay in a fearsome interior rotation with Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. He has truly taken a leap in his second year as a pro. Ojomo already set career-highs in tackles and sacks, and is just three pressures away from breaking his career-high in pressures. His matchup for Week 14 is fantastic as well.
The Eagles square off with the Chargers, whose offensive line is a mess. They are without both starting offensive tackles, Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater, for the season, and have allowed 40 sacks. Trey Lance also has a chance at starting this weekend. Ojomo is a strong IDP streaming option for Week 14.
IDP Streaming Option: Edge Nolan Smith Jr., Philadelphia Eagles
