Week 1 IDP Waiver Wire
I am in 4 different IDP Leagues, Dynasty/Keeper/Redraft, 12/16/32 teams, ranging from 250 to 500 rostered players. Typically I will use more Waiver picks on IDPs than offensive players.

You have drafted your guys and I would hate to tell you to drop anyone for the 1<SUP>st</SUP> couple weeks, but if you have a couple roster spots left or just have to replace 1 or 2 guys here are a few you might want to look at. These are a few guys I will be targetting for Week 1 Waiver Claims
<O
DL
<O
Corey Williams Det – Big game against Chi. Available in all 4 of my leagues and 99% of CBS leagues. Next 3 games – Phi, @ Min, @ GBP. All 3 teams will be looking to protect QBs from VandenBosh beside him. Should be good for 6/7 tackles/game with a sack and or Fumble Recovery every other game or so
<O
Sione Pouha NYJ – Who ?? Ya while I was writing this I just keep seeing his #’s going up. Part of a 3 man line, that I will generally avoid. Available in 100% of leagues at CBS Sports. Next 3 games are NEP, @ Mia, @ Buf. Might not score so well against NEP, but the Buf and Mia matchups look good
<O
Osi and Kiwanuka NYG – Both are available in 55/60% of leagues and both were in the top 10 week 1. Check your leagues wire
<O
LB
<O
Conners and Anderson Car – Nobody was sure who was going to step up when Davis went down. Good news. Both of these guys did and they are available in virtually every league. 17.5 Tck, 1.5 Sk, and 1 INT in almost an even spit. Tam, Cin, and @ NOS for the next 3 games. Can’t go wrong.
<O
Zach Diles HOU – He was a hot topic on hardcore IDP forums last year and seems to have slipped through the cracks this year. Definate starter at least until Cushing suspension is over. Next 3 games, @ Was, Dal, @ Oak
<O
Bryan Thomas NYJ – 2<SUP>nd</SUP> of 3 guys that just came out of nowhere tonight. 8 tackles with 1.5 sacks. Next 3 games are NEP, @ Mia, @ Buf.
<O
Derrick Johnson KCC – What a game. 11.5 tackles. Next 3 games, @ Cle, SF, Bye. I’ll take a shot on this guy
<O
Roger McIntosh – Came through with a Sack this week but more of a tackle guy
<O
For those of you in Yahoo leagues where DL and LB are the same position I would pass on the DL guys and just take the LBs
<O
DB ( Got 3 good ones for you here)<O</O
<O
Bryant McFadden Pit – Funny thing about CBs in fantasy football is they get points for making tackles. If they were doing their job the WR would not have the ball. Case in point, McFadden, 13 tackles this week. Think the rest of the NFL coaches didn’t notice this
<O
Jim Leonhard NYJ – If you get Return Yardage points in your league this guy is an automatic start. SS on the Jets D and the Punt Returner should get you a pile every week.
<O
Greg Toler – Like I said earlier. Coaches picking on a DB can be a good thing for you in Fantasy. 13 tackles this week. As long as he remains a starter he will see a lot of action
<O
<O
Remember, Taking a 5<SUP>th</SUP> or 6<SUP>th</SUP> RB or WR that you won’t start doesn’t help your team. Grabbing an IDP that will give you an extra 15/20 points per week as a starter could get you in the Playoffs. Have a good year
