IDP Streaming Matchups for IDL and Edge: Week 10

IDP streaming is essential for staying competitive in your leagues. Streaming involves analyzing weekly matchups and playing different players with the best potential outcomes each week. This edition will examine the top IDP streaming IDL and EDGE options.

Arden Key was the key to success for Week 9, and Jer'Zhan Newton was a great sleeper, but the other calls were missed. Here are the top IDP streaming options for Week 10.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL Alim McNeill, Detroit Lions

Matchup: Houston Texans - Ranked 8th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

McNeill is not off to the start that IDP enthusiasts had hoped for. He has just 12 tackles and two-and-a-half sacks in eight games. The stats do not tell the entire story. McNeill has still been running a muck in opposing backfields. He has 27 pressures, including three games with at least six, which is on pace to break his career-high set just last year. He had seven against the Packers last week. Watch how quickly he gets into the backfield with a  nice swim move:

iDL that can get home in 2.2 seconds WILL get paid in this league. That's how it works.

McNeill has a great opportunity to add to the sack column in Week 10. The Lions play the Texans, a team whose offensive line has been playing poorly recently. They have allowed 31 sacks on the season, bad enough for a tie for second-worst. Houston just allowed eight sacks to the Jets in Week 9. The Lions just added Za'Darius Smith at the deadline to bolster their edge rush. This should help McNeill climb the pocket, making him a great IDP streaming option for Week 10.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL Zach Allen, Denver Broncos

Matchup: Kansas City Chiefs - Ranked 3rd in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

This seems like a poor decision, with the Chiefs's offensive line playing so well. They showed a few holes, though, in Week 9. The Buccaneers exposed the interior offensive line of the Chiefs, forcing four sacks between Vita Vea and Calijah Kancey. Allen is off to a hot start to 2024 with 35 tackles and four sacks through nine games.

It is incredibly difficult to take down Patrick Mahomes II, but the Buccaneers showed how you can do it. Even if Allen does not get to Mahomes, his run defense is superb. Kareem Hunt did not show much wiggle until the fourth quarter. Huint's lack of elusiveness allows Allen a solid tackle floor, making him an IDP streaming option for Week 10.
