Tim Heitman-US PRESSWIRE
More and more fantasy leagues have moved to Individual Defensive Player (IDP) leagues, but there are never enough rankings out there. Each week of the NFL season, I will post my full IDP report for the upcoming fantasy football week. Here is the week 6 edition of my IDP report:
Week 5 IDP MVP:
DE Robert Quinn, St. Louis Rams – Quinn exploded last Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals, as he had 6 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and a deflected pass. The 2011 first rounder is finally living up to his draft value and has become one of the most agile pass-rushers in the entire NFL.

Week 6: IDP Bold Stat Prediction:
S Thomas DeCoud, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Oakland Raiders) - 2 INTs
Week 6 IDP MVP Prediction:
ILB Sean Lee, Dallas Cowboys – Lee has recorded 12 tackles or more in three of his last four games, so he will easily eclipse 10 tackles this week against a run-heavy Ravens’ offense.
