Favorable IDP Matchups for Week 6 (2021)
Each week we’ll be taking a look at the upcoming NFL games and giving you our take on which IDPs have the most favorable matchups and who you should be considering starting in your fantasy football teams.
Let’s get started for Week 6
Everson Griffen (Defensive Line/Edge)-Minnesota Vikings
Everson Griffen on Sunday: 2 sacks, including a strip sack, 6 total pressures and a 90.7 pass rush grade — second-highest of his entire career

After starting the season as a rotational piece opposite Danielle Hunter, Griffen earned starting honors last week against the Lions and did NOT disappoint. A bunch of tackles, QB hits, and 2 sacks on the day later cemented his starting role going forward. Going against the 32nd ranked pass-blocking until in the NFL this week, Griffen is in line for another big day
Nick Bolton (Linebacker)-Kansas City Chiefs
The rookie linebacker should be inline for a big day going against a Washington offense that will look to keep the potent Chiefs offense off that field as much as possible by relying on the running game. That’s great news for Bolton! Coming off of a 6 solo tackle/ 2 TFL performance in which he scored 16 fantasy points in IDP123 scoring in Week 5, look for Bolton to top that this week!
Anthony Brown (Defensive Back)-Dallas Cowboys

Playing opposite of one of the league’s premiere cornerbacks certainly has its advantages when it comes to making plays on the ball? Why is that?! Simple, opposing QBs will more than likely throw the ball in your direction hoping to look for a defensive mismatch.
That’s great news for the, currently, DB9 in fantasy points per game in IDP123 scoring. Graded as the 5th best cover corner according to PFF, Brown has been the most targeted cornerback in the NFL. Look for that continue this week as rookie QB Mac Jones will look to avoid throwing to opposite CB Travon Diggs.
