IDP Notes:
With OTAs in full swing, there's lots to cover on both sides of the ball. Here's more to digest and my take for the IDP faithful...
DB CHARLES TILLMAN RETURNS TO PRACTICE
My Fantasy Read: The Bear’s playmaking corner returned to the field for the first time since having surgery to repair his injured shoulder. Tillman is still recovering, but is expected to be at full strength in time for training camp. Tillman is the leader of the Bears secondary and a perennial playmaker in the league. Last season he finished second on the team with 93 tackles and his four fumble recoveries and three picks make him an IDP favorite in fantasy.
DL VINCE WOLFORK IS A SPECIAL GUY IN NEW ENGLAND
My Fantasy Read: Whenever your employer calls you “special” it has to say something about you as a person and player. Wolfork might get a lot of hand shakes and accolades for being a great team player, but fantasy owners are more impressed with his solid numbers in the middle. Last season the Patriots run stuffer collected 66 tackles and two sacks, making him one of the few solid IDP defensive tackles for the 2009 season.
LB AARON CURRY LOOKING IMPRESSIVE IN SEATTLE
My Fantasy Read: The Seahawks rookie has looked impressive this offseason according to head coach Jim Mora. The team has yet to begin any contact during the minicamps, but this could be an indication that Curry is ahead of the curve and could be an immediate impact player in fantasy this season. Owners will have to watch the reports from the Northwest as soon as the pads go on.
DL BJ RAJI SEEING TIME WITH THE FIRST UNIT
My Fantasy Read: The Packers top selection from this year’s NFL draft is logging a lot of time with the first team. Raji figures to be a constant fixture in the middle and along the defensive line for the Packers, but fantasy owners are going to have to wonder if he’s going to be an occupier or stopper. As long as he is on the field, he figures to have more upside, but it remains to be seen if he can be dominant in the middle.
