Welcome to the Fantasy Football WK12 IDP NFC Interior Defensive Lineman Start/Sit Cheat Sheet Charts presented by GridironRatings.com Where the only original and proven IDP start/sit chart “cheat sheets” via The IDP Tipster can be found. And yes, there are a few imitators, but there is only one true original five-step formula IDP tactical tool. A formula with a well-tested history for over a decade and a proven high-hit rate in IDP play well before sharing it with the public four years ago. And all of that history and relevancy is only available here for G.R. fantasy football family members.

Needing to split those IDP hairs between two or more players with the same color code? Besides our great Player Ratings located in the main menu, our Oddsmakers IDP tactical tools were originally intended to do just that. And they are located on our The IDP Tipster member page or perhaps even on our main article page.

Disclaimer: We do not suggest “reaching” for higher designated players over available known studs!

The NFC Interior Defensive Lineman Start/Sit Cheat Sheet Charts contain all the interior defensive lineman in both NFL defensive schemes.

If you are looking for names like Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa, or Danielle Hunter…

Those are defensive ends in the NFL’s 4-3 defensive scheme and are now located with the 3-4 schemed Outside Linebackers in the new Edge Rusher charts. So if you do not see your player’s name, and unsure as to why. They likely can be found there, where we apply an even deeper formula to get these weekly start/sits right for IDP sack-heavy formats.

Allen Bailey
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Tyeler Davison
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Marlon Davidson
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked for Jarrett versus the Raiders. And adding that someone else will likely overachieve in what is a strong matchup. But at this point, we can’t pick that person out due to timeshares in the snap counts.

☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Zach Kerr
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Bravvion Roy
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

William Gholston
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Rakeem Nunez-Roches

Dalvin Tomlinson
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Leonard Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Dexter Lawrence
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
B.J. Hill
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: The only reason they are not marked higher versus the Bengals is because the production on paper is divided by three.

Eagles Interior D-Lineman

Fletcher Cox
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Javon Hargrave
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Malik Jackson
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Hassan Ridgeway (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5

Aaron Donald
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Michael Brockers
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Sebastian Joseph-Day
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Morgan Fox
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
A’Shawn Robinson
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the 49ers, and after the season Donald has had with hits and misses, there isn’t any upside added.

49ers Interior D-Lineman

D.J. Jones (O)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Javon Kinlaw
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Kevin Givens
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Kentavius Street
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Rams, and the rookie is just “barely” solid. They’ll likely key off on Kinlaw if he plays with Jones out.

Seahawks Interior D-Lineman

Jarran Reed
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Poona Ford
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Bryan Mone
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Jonathan Bullard
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Eagles. There is a touch of upside here, but it still wasn’t enough to pull them up past their marks on paper.
