The Seadog Report Playoff Edition Jan 2, 2009 | More

Greetings Sharkfans! It has been a wild ride through 2008 and I think that it is fitting to kind of wrap up the season with a year-end playoff Seadog article. This is for all you hard-core people out there who are taking a radical IDP season-ending fantasy playoff push into the post season….or perhaps it is just something to read and think about as we wind down into the fantasy football postseason….Either way, I’m going change my format just a little this week. I’m going to take a look at the playoff teams and pick the top one or two guys at each IDP position who I think would be the best play at that position for that team. Have fun!

Indianapolis Colts

DL – I’m going to stick with Robert Mathis on this one. Dwight Freeney is too inconsistent and Mathis has been outstanding this year.

LB – Normally, I’d lobby for Gary Brackett at this spot just for his sheer consistency, but because of his injury, I’m going to go with Freddie Kieaho. He will have good numbers as long as the Colts are playing.

DB – Bob Sanders should be healthy enough to play. He gets the nod here.

San Diego Chargers

DL – Jamal Williams is the best IDP DL for the Chargers.

LB – Stephen Cooper can be top-10 IDP at the LB slot.

DB – Eric Weddle (S) gets the nod over Quentin Jammer (CB). Both will do well.

Baltimore Ravens

DL – Terrell Suggs - no question.

LB – Even though he’s lost some IDP luster from his past studliness, I need to go with Ray Lewis as the recommendation. He’s still good.

DB – I’ve been down on Ed Reed for a couple of years now, but because his big-play persona has returned this year, I think I’ll take a chance with him.

Miami Dolphins

DL – No great shakes here, but I’ll pick Vonnie Holiday.

LB – Channing Crowder is my pick. He’s probably the best IDP LB play that Miami has.

DB – Yeremiah Bell is one of the top IDP overall, let alone just the DB position.

Atlanta Falcons

DL – John Abraham frustrates me with his inconsistency, but it is playoff time and he has huge big-play capability.

LB – I’m going to go with Keith Brooking over rookie Curtis Lofton just based on experience.

DB – Erik Coleman (S), Lawyer Milloy (CB), Chris Houston (CB), and Brent Grimes (CB) – all of these guys will be solid plays, especially in the Arizona game.

Arizona Cardinals

DL – Darnell Dockett is the best choice here.

LB – Karlos Dansby is just amazingly consistent with his IDP production.

DB – Antrel Rolle is my pick for Arizona DB. He’s arguably a top-15 IDP safety.

Philadelphia Eagles

DL – Trent Cole is by far the best IDP DL for Philly. He is one of the best IDP DLs - period.

LB – Even though he has been hurt, I’m going with Stewart Bradley. He should be busy against Minny anyways.
