​Week 15 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 last week?

Hits
Tyson Alualu (DL): 7.5 fantasy points
Grady Jarrett (DL): 3.0 fantasy points
Brian Orakpo (LB): 8.0 fantasy points
Ramik Wilson (LB): 9.0 fantasy points
Daryl Worley (DB): 4.5 fantasy points
Terence Newman (DB): 3.5 fantasy points

Misses
Mike Daniels (DL): 2.5 fantasy points
Antonio Morrison (LB): 4.0 fantasy points

Year-to-Date
