​Week 2 Recap

I use balanced scoring (1 point per tackle, 3 per sack) as my “standard”, and I consider 3.0 points a hit for defensive linemen (DL) and defensive backs (DB), with 5.0 points a hit for linebackers (LB).

I value your IDP teams as much as I value my own, so I want to remain accountable to you all in my advice. I provide a weekly recap of my previous recommendations and a running tally of my hits and misses in this column. How did we do in Week 2?

Corey Liuget (DL): 3.0 fantasy points
Chris Long (DL): 5.0 fantasy points
Ryan Kerrigan (LB): 7.0 fantasy points
Sean Weatherspoon* (LB): 8.5 fantasy points
DaNorris Searcy (DB): 4.5 fantasy points

Misses
Allen Bailey (DL): 0.5 fantasy points
Whitney Mercilus (LB): 4.0 fantasy points
