ELIJAH PONDER: IDP BLOWUP 🚨🏈

This dude is absolutely blowing it up in Year 2. The undrafted edge rusher has 7.5 sacks, 25+ tackles, a forced fumble, and a 75 PFF grade through 9 games. I wrote about him earlier this year, and the dude just keeps producing.

Not bad for a second-year UDFA out of Cal Poly. His rookie season was mostly rotational work and special teams, but he still managed 4 sacks. This year? He’s playing heavy snaps and making life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. We’re talking 32 pressures and sack production that puts him right up there with the best. Yet he’s still flying under the radar in a lot of IDP leagues. 💪

Tougher matchup this week in Munich against Detroit. Jared Goff and that Lions offense have been clicking, and that offensive line (Sewell, Mahogany, Scruggs, Ratledge, Miller) is legit. I’m not pretending this is an easy assignment. But Ponder has the first-step quickness and enough moves to give those tackles problems. I like his chances of getting home at least once.

The Patriots are 5-4 and coming off a rough loss to Green Bay. They need this one to stay in the AFC East/playoff picture, and the pass rush needs to show up. Ponder just put up 1.5 sacks last week, so there’s no reason to think he’ll be anything other than a big part of the plan again.

Anyway, I’m a big fan of this kid. If he’s still sitting on your waiver wire, I’d be making a move. In most dynasty leagues, you’re probably going to have to trade for him. Young, inexpensive contract through 2027, and he’s already producing. What’s not to like?

WEEK 10 SLEEPERS 👀🏈

A few guys flying under the radar this week that I think deserve a closer look. Some opportunity opening up, some familiar faces getting a boost, and a couple of IDP plays worth digging into.

Bam Knight (ARI, RB) 👀

Knight cleared a full practice Thursday after the concussion and looks ready to go against the Rams. With Jeremiyah Love still sidelined by the ankle, Knight should slide back into the mix with Tyler Allgeier.

I like Knight’s efficiency when he’s been given the work. He’s averaged over 6 YPC earlier this season and put up 80 yards on 15 carries against the Rams the first time around.

Still under 10% rostered in most leagues. Worth a look.

Jordan Addison (MIN, WR) 🔥

Captain Kirk is back! And Addison sounds pretty fired up about it.

He said their first practice together felt like Kirk never left and they’re ready to run it back. That rookie-year connection is real, and getting Cousins back under center could be a nice boost for Addison.

He’s been sitting around the WR35 range, but I think there’s room to outperform that ranking if they get the connection going quickly.

Flex play against Green Bay with some upside.

Marlon Humphrey (BAL, CB/IDP) 👀

I know, I know. Baltimore fans aren’t exactly thrilled with Humphrey right now. Between the coverage issues and the podcast comments, he’s taken some heat.

But we’re talking fantasy here. He’s still giving you usable IDP production, averaging around 3-4 tackles a game with the occasional big play mixed in.

If you’re looking for DB help this week, I’d give him a look against the Chargers. Sometimes you have to separate the football from the fantasy.

Nick Niemann (GB, LB/IDP) 📈

This one is all about opportunity.

With Edgerrin Cooper out for the season and the Packers linebacker room banged up, Niemann suddenly found himself playing 59 defensive snaps (around 93%) in Week 9.

He came away with 6-7 tackles, and that’s the kind of playing time I’m looking for in a deep IDP league.

Not saying he’s a long-term answer, but while those snaps are there, he’s worth a look. Deep-league streamer with some legitimate tackle upside.
