Playoff Start/Sits - IDP Edition

Postby failblazer » Fri Dec 15, 2017 1:50 pm

So I've made it through the first round of the playoffs, thanks in part to some strong defensive performances last week (looking at you CJ Mosley) but I have struggled for consistent production certain spots and don't want to leave anything to chance. So, for a league starting 2 DLs, 2 LBs, 2 DBs and 2 FLEX (2 points per tackle, 4 per INT, 3 per sack, 2 per pass defended) who would you start this week?

DL
Need two of Demarcus Lawrence (@OAK), Ezekiel Ansah (CHI) and Jurrell Casey (@SF). Ansah at this stage is questionable so this situation may answer itself but going off the assumption that he plays, this one is tough. Lawrence has a terrible matchup but is the #2 ranked DL in this league for a reason. I'd be tempted to say Lawrence and Casey here.

LB
Lots of choices but none that fill me with confidence. CJ Mosley is as true of a stud as there is in IDP and an auto-start. That leaves Zach Cunningham (@JAC), Mark Barron (@SEA), Eric Kendricks (CIN), Kyle Van Noy (@PIT), Jayon Brown (@SF) and Jordan Evans (@MIN). Scooped up Jordan Evans this week on the strength of a 10 tackle (9 solo) game in Burfict's absence last week. He's out this week and so is Nick Vigil and coupled with a good match, this looks like the kind of play that could put me over the top.

DB
Need two of Tony Jefferson (@CLE), Daniel Sorensen (LAC) and Eddie Jackson (@DET). Sorensen really came back down to earth last week despite playing 100% of the snaps and scares me in a must win scenario. Jefferson and Jackson have much more positive matchups.

As it stands, I plan on starting as follows:
DL - Lawrence & Casey
LB - Mosley & Cunningham
DB - Sorensen & Jackson
FLEX - Barron & Evans

Wanted to get some thoughts and feedback from you guys as to any changes I should make. Is the Evans play too cute?

Also, if anyone has any similar IDP dilemmas going into key playoff matchups then feel free to post them here.

Stick with what you have except find a way to get Eric Kendricks in there, and sub in Jefferson for Jackson (I will always play a SS over a FS)
