I want to stress that both the idp podcast & premium idp content had successfully identified this situation. I for one was able to take timely action and did not mind paying up with my FA bucks (20% of my cap). Hats off to the IDP team.

From what remains on my sieve of IDP content and podcasts this past week and last, I took two actions that gave me a couple of wins this week. First, I paid dearly to add Mark Barron as it was a priority topic in the content. Second, I added DJ Hayden as the Raider CBs were identified to be...

They may in fact shell out the most money and tie it to performance based incentives. Bill saved the dap for a reason. Mathis may not be the answer to his rationale, but personally I am inclined to think it does if Mathis is believed to sign a say front loaded two year contract with little dead...

I will choose to look at glass half-full on this one. Though personally I hoped that they released Amendola, keeping him with this structure is much better than what I had expected. I like PFF metrics on defensive players where Sheard scores well. BTW, so does Mathis. Food for thought.

I think there would be more agreement in the thread if we changed it to: "Would a SB contender attract Top FAs who have had signed a long-term contract before?" Such would be Knighton, Revis, McCourty, Iupati, Franklin, Flowers, etc.

But pulling a the strategy they used with Revis is within realm. I would agree that Pats and a $14m RB are do not seem to go hand in hand. Pats and a RB making $14m through measurable incentives could be preferrable.

I sometimes forget that this is a fantasy football forum. This situation is great for fantasy as long as it keeps this way for both Hightower and Collins since they are both playing ILB on a team that keeps missing tackles and gifting post hit yards. I may be looking at the glass half full on...

I was very worried throughout the whole game as the Hightower-Collins tandem was very weak against the run. Collins looked lost multiple times. Perhaps it is a gap management thing or that Mayo is Mayo, but the end result was pretty shaky.

Jamize Olawale assuming he is on my team, of course

I do not want to believe this assessment no matter how valid it may be. I trust that there is a difference between disruptive and game changing. He looks to be that singular game changing force for the Texans, be it take aways, scores, intensity of team play, time of possession or even the...

Seconded. He'd get my vote for the MVP award were it to matter at all.

No idea what av means. Anyway, giving up 5.0 ypc to a Pierce-Forsett is just bad - though I love my IDP points as an owner so far.

As an IDP performer, Shazier is getting better. The YPC is alarming to me though: West: 16 carries with 6.3 ypc Tate: 6 carries with 6.8 ypc Crowell: 5 carries with 6.4 ypc CLE Total: 30 carries with 6.1 ypc If I were in charge, I would either focus on the ILBs to step it up, or adjust the...

Follow up on last week: Both Timmons & Shazier with similar stats yet seemingly different roles at preseason game #3: Shazier had no tackles in run plays whereas 3 of 5 of Timmons came from run games with a negative yard average. {I will rewatch the game to see whose assignments it was to...

Career year is a definition I struggle with. I believe it is that hard to argue against him achieving 50% production increase, 750/75/6ish, due to his low career base up to now & based on 2013 performances that production puts him into the range of about RB 25-30. As to my personal...

Mark Ingram: He will far exceed his 500 yard rushing + 50 yard receiving + 4 TD career average (my guess: more than 50%) I do not know what breakout may mean, but I interpreted it as significant increase in production; and not value for ADP.

I am not critical of Shazier. In general, I do like 3-down guys who can stuff the run up front; and I trust Shazier will get much better.

He needs to work on stopping guys earlier on run plays. He averaged four yards a carry this past game (I think Timmons averaged less than a yard and a half). This being his first game and all, I am not worried. Yet it is one of those things I track when targeting ILBs whose bread and butter is...

The A in ADP stands for average. If all abided to ADP, then all would be mainstream - not in success, but in conviction. I use ADP primarily to see where I differ highly from the mainstream to read up on those guys in order to assess if I trust my conviction is sound. This is a pre-draft...

June update would be much appreciated.
