​Week 4 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 4?

Hits
Nick Fairley (DL): 7.0 fantasy points
William Gholston (DL): 7.0 fantasy points
Kendall Langford (DL): 7.0 fantasy points
Avery Williamson (LB): 10.5 fantasy points
Andrew Sendejo (DB): 3.5 fantasy points
Darian Stewart (DB): 4.0 fantasy points

Misses
Gerald Hodges (LB): 2.0 fantasy points
Demario Davis (LB): 3.0 fantasy points
