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.
Our only hit from Week 15 was Clelin Ferrell, who had six tackles. The Philadelphia matchup was strong, and they recorded four sacks. Unfortunately, neither of our callouts benefited from them. For Week 16, we are dropping only IDP streaming options; no sleepers. It is the playoffs. Do not get cute. Stream during the playoffs only if you are forced to. Here are the top IDP streaming options for Week 16.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Tommy Togiai, Houston Texans
Matchup: Las Vegas Raiders - Ranked 28th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Togiai joins us again as an IDP streaming option. He has been playing the best football of his career. His 20 pressures on the season are double his previous career-high, and 7 of those came in the last three games. Togiai has a solid 73.4 pass rush grade on the season, per PFF. He has recorded at least three tackles in every game except two this season, demonstrating he provides a solid floor.
The Raiders' offensive line has been atrocious. Unfortunately for whoever starts under center for the Raiders, it is going to be a long day. With Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. imposing their will on the edge, the pocket is bound to collapse. This could allow Togiai to come up with nice clean-up opportunities. He is an excellent IDP streaming option for Week 16.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Zach Sieler, Miami Dolphins
