Digging deeper this week with a top 60 IDP rankings for week 7. If you're wondering about the waiver wire look no further than these rankings. However, here's some deeper thoughts outside of the ranking on guys I like this week.
- DE DeForest Buckner, SF - back from injury and is a beast.
- LB Jatavis Brown, SD - Can anyone question our future "defensive rookie of the year".
- LB Willie Young, CHI - on a tear recently, very hot.
- DE Ezekiel Ansah, DET - Should be back to form this week.
- DE Andre Branch, MIA - took over for Williams last week and it could continue in week 7.
