Fantasy Football: IDP takeaways from Preseason Week 3

By Jonathon Macri

• Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn has seen his ideal IDP usage shift significantly this preseason, creating a potential concern for his fantasy value.

• Jacksonville Jaguars rookie first-round linebacker Devin Lloyd makes his preseason debut and is back on track for an every-down role.

• Houston Texans rookie safety Jalen Pitre saw a large snap share closer to the line of scrimmage which should benefit his IDP value should that continue into the season.

PRESEASON TAKEAWAYS

Waiver Wire

LB – Zaire Franklin is the front-runner to start alongside Bobby Okereke for the Colts while Shaquille Leonard is expected to miss time with a back injury.

LB – Alex Singleton will likely be Denver's secondary linebacker if Jonas Griffith continues to miss time. That secondary linebacker role figures to be a smaller due to the Broncos deploying a higher rate of dime personnel this season.

EDGE – Jerry Hughes should contribute as one of the Texan's top edge defenders. A rotation is likely but alongside Jonathan Greenard, Hughes is the expected starter.

EDGE – Michael Danna continued to start alongside Frank Clark all preseason long with George Karlaftis and Carlos Dunlap active. It’s looking more and more likely that Danna could have a larger role than expected to start this season for Kansas City.

EDGE – Casey Toohill appears to be replacing Chase Young while Young is on the PUP list. Toohill would be a deeper league waiver add for volume-based production.

S – Ronnie Harrison may already be a starting safety for Cleveland but an injury to Grant Delpit in the final preseason game may open up a larger opportunity if Delpit is unable to get back healthy for Week 1.

S – Jalen Pitre is in line to start at strong safety for the Texans and played more than 50% of his defensive snaps in the box or on the defensive line in Houston's final preseason game.

Upgrades

LB – Devin Lloyd returned for the Jaguars and looked healthy in his first NFL action. He played 100% of the Jaguars' first five defensive drives and should be an every-down player once the season begins.

LB – Malcolm Rodriguez has earned a role as the team’s expected secondary linebacker. Unlikely to be a full-time role, he could still have value in deeper IDP leagues.

LB – Raekwon McMillan has won the second starting linebacker role in New England. Unfortunately, it’s likely to be a very small role in a defense that deploys a lot of dime personnel and rotates its players quite a bit.

EDGE – Hamilcar Rashed Jr. started for the Steelers on the edge while Alex Highsmith continues to miss time. He could see significant work if Highsmith misses any regular season games.

EDGE – Tyquan Lewis played the bulk of the Colts' starting snaps while Kwity Paye continues to recover from an injury. If Paye is expected to miss the start of the regular season, Lewis could see a larger role.

S – Xavier Woods played nearly 75% of his snaps closer to the line of scrimmage while Jeremy Chinn played the majority of his snaps from a deep alignment. An unexpected role change like this should have IDP managers monitoring this situation in Week 1.

S – Jonathan Owens is the Texans' starting deep safety but unlikely to be a major factor in most IDP leagues.

Downgrades

LB – Chad Muma is likely to cede the starting snaps he’s been getting this preseason to Devin Lloyd now that Lloyd is back healthy.

EDGE – Rasheem Green ceded his starting edge snaps to Jerry Hughes for the Texans this week.

EDGE – Jaelan Phillips saw a lesser role playing behind Melvin Ingram and Emmanuel Ogbah in addition to coming off the field on obvious passing downs.

EDGE – Drake Jackson is playing behind multiple other 49ers edge defenders, which should hinder his playing opportunities greatly.

S – Jeremy Chinn saw a significant decrease in snaps played in the box and near the line of scrimmage. Xavier Woods played those snaps instead, which could create a large swing in both players’ IDP values if that holds to start the regular season.

S – Eric Murray played with the Texan's second-team defense and appears to have lost hope for a starting job.

S – Kyle Dugger and Adrian Phillips rotated with one another for the ideal box safety role, which is likely to hinder their snap opportunities each week.

CB – Jamel Dean appears to have ceded his starting cornerback job to Sean Murphy-Bunting to start this season.

  • With Shaq Thompson inactive, Cory Littleton played as the team’s primary linebacker alongside Frankie Luvu.
  • Luvu should continue to see a high percentage of pass rush snaps, so a large snap share at off-ball linebacker combined with blitzing could make him an interesting deep IDP sleeper.

  • Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah remains the safest bet for IDP amongst this group. He did sit out the third drive of this one before coming back on for one more early in the second quarter.
  • Anthony Walker and Jacob Phillips rotated a fair bit, but Phillips didn’t play a single third down while Walker was in the game, making Walker the likely secondary LB in Cleveland.

KEY TERMS AND METHODOLOGY

  • Overall defense: Understand which teams are deploying specific coverages and personnel packages that help determine which IDPs will be on the field and how they are deployed.
  • Edge defenders & defensive interior: Which players are dominating at the line of scrimmage and putting up the best predictive pass rush metrics.
  • Linebackers: Which linebackers are on the field and which ones are being subbed out regularly.
  • Safeties: Where are these players lining up pre-snap — the closer to the line of scrimmage, the better their odds of landing a tackle.
  • Cornerbacks: Who are the outside and slot corners for each team and which ones are targeted the most.
Data keys:
  • Tackle efficiency = Percentage of snaps where that IDP was in on a tackle
  • Win rate = Percentage of snaps that a defensive lineman won their rep against a blocker
  • Pressure rate = Percentage of pass-rush snaps that resulted in a pressure
  • Pass-rush grade = PFF pass-rush grade, taking into account the quality of every pass-rush snap for every player on every play
  • +EPA allowed % = The percentage of plays against the defense that resulted in positive expected points added for the offense
  • Zone coverage rate = Percentage of Cover-2, Cover-3 (+variations), Cover-4/quarters, and Cover-6 snaps played by the defense
  • Man coverage rate = Percentage of Cover-1, Cover-0, and Cover-2-Man snaps played by the defense
  • Dime personnel rate = Percentage of snaps the defense spent with six defensive backs on the field at once, typically at the cost of a linebacker.
  • Blitz rate = Percentage of snaps where the defense sent at least one extra pass rusher on a given play
  • Box snaps = Snaps where the defensive player is lined up in a linebacker or strong safety alignment (within 2-10 yards of the line of scrimmage)
  • Free safety snaps = Snaps where the defensive player is lined up more than 10.5 yards from the line of scrimmage
  • Slot corner snaps = Snaps where the defensive player is lined up covering an eligible receiver who is aligned inside of an outside receiving option
  • Outside corner snaps = Snaps where the defensive player is the widest outside defender to any given side where there is a wide receiver aligned
  • Defensive line snaps = Snaps where the defensive player is lined up on or within 1.5 yards of the line of scrimmage
  • Forced incompletion rate = Percentage of snaps where a coverage player forced an incomplete pass by way of a pass-breakup, a hit that knocks the ball loose, cutting off the receiver’s route, forcing the receiver out of bounds before a completion can be made, or tight enough coverage that causes the ball to be uncatchable
