IDL and Edge Streaming Matchups, Week 4

Week 3 brought us another mixed bag of streaming results. Preston Smith was virtually non-existent in the box score in a game where Rashaan Gary had three sacks, though he saw plenty of time on the field. Mike Danna continued his hot start by dropping three tackles and another sack. K'Lavon Chaisson was a huge reach to be a sleeper, and he was in fact just that...a reach. At IDL, Ed Oliver was a smash with four tackles and a sack and a half, but Arik Armstead was a dud. Dalvin Tomlinson was just as bad.

We had two big hits streaming, two misses, and the sleepers unfortunately missed as well. There are some great matchups to attack in Week 4, though. This week may see some unexpected names on waivers that you could scoop and have a great week with. Here are the top IDL and Edge streaming matchups for Week 4.

Edge, Haason Reddick, Philadelphia Eagles

Matchup: Washington Commanders - Ranked 31st is Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Trust me, I have noticed that Reddick has gotten off to an atrocious start. Here is the thing, though. We all know the talent is there. He has shown it for multiple seasons now and is not a fluke. Due to his lack of production this year, Reddick may have been dropped in redraft leagues. This is good news because the matchup he has in Week 4 is one that could spark his 2023 season.

Reddick gets to face off against the Commanders, who have given up an astounding 19 sacks in three games. The Eagles pass rush is also the best pass rush that they have faced, so things are not going to get any better. Week 4 should be the week that Reddick gets right and could explode.

Edge, Travon Walker, Jacksonville Jaguars

Matchup: Atlanta Falcons - Ranked 7th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Considering his draft capital, Walker has been a disappointment. Still, he is worth a start in good matchups. He has been quietly productive this season with 12 tackles and a sack. Though his pass-rushing prowess has yet to truly show its face, Walker is a strong run defender. That bodes well for his week 4 floor.

Walker faces the run-heavy Falcons. They showcase two strong running backs in Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson, as well as a mobile quarterback in Desmond Ridder. Add the fact that the Falcons' offensive line has tied for the 4th amount of sacks allowed in the league with 12. Walker has a chance for a big game.

IDL, B.J. Hill, Cincinnati Bengals

Matchup: Tennessee Titans - Ranked 32nd in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

B.J. Hill has been the best version of himself over the past two years, even though he is aging. Over that span, he has 83 pressures and eight sacks, in addition to his 119 tackles. This season does not look like he is slowing down. His pass rushing has been solid, with a 71.6 pass-rush grade per PFF, and he has eight tackles with two sacks on the season. He gets a fantastic matchup against the Titans in Week 4.

The Titans are ranked last in Matt Bitonti's rankings, as noted above. They have given up the second most sacks in the league with 13. They also pound the rock with a strong run game. Hill has the potential to live in the backfield and should rack up some great interior numbers.

IDL, Jordan Davis, Philadelphia Eagles

Matchup: Washington Commanders - Ranked 31st is Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Jordan Davis should be in your weekly lineups. He has been absolutely killing it for the Eagles, yet is somehow been overshadowed by rookie Jalen Carter's dominance. Sure, a rookie being so dominant is uncharacteristic of interior linemen, but it should not silence the fact that Davis is playing like a stud. In the first three games, Davis has 11 tackles and two sacks.

The Eagles, as mentioned earlier, the matchup against the Commanders...not good for the Commanders. The Eagles have one of the best pass-rushing groups in the NFL. The Commanders' offensive line is going to be overwhelmed.

IDL and Edge Sleeper Options

Edge, Nik Bonitto, Denver Broncos

Matchup: Chicago Bears - Ranked 26th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Bonitto gets lost in the shuffle of Broncos defensive linemen. He is part of a group that consists of veterans Randy Gregory and Frank Clark, plus the sudden emergence of Jonathan Cooper. Bonitto has been great in his own right. Volume has been there for him as well. Bonitto has seen a 52% snap share for the Broncos, and over the past two weeks, he has accumulated eight tackles and a sack.

The Broncos take on the Bears in Week 4. The Bears offense is in shambles. Justin Fields is being forced to be a pocket passer. With how the offense hummed last season when they cut the leash and let him run, you would think it would be a focal point of the offense in 2023. It has not been, and Fields and the entire offense look lost. They are tied for the second most sacks allowed in the NFL with 13. Bonitto could hit home in Week 4.

IDL, Taven Bryan, Indianapolis Colts

Matchup: Los Angeles Rams - Ranked 29th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Bryan has failed to live up to his pass-rushing potential so far in his career, having never eclipsed three sacks In a season. Maybe the Colts figured it out. Maybe he isn't an every-down lineman. Bryan has only been on the field for 265 of the Colts' defensive snaps. And he only has six total tackles. He has been an excellent pass rusher, though. Bryan has a sack in his past two games and a 78.2 PFF pass-rush grade over that span.

The matchup is not great against the Rams. They have only allowed seven sacks on the season, the 15th most. The Colts' pass rush is probably the best the Rams have faced so far this season. If you are looking for a dart throw this week, you could do much worse than Bryan.

Final Thoughts

First, I want to thank my compadre Matt Bitonti for his offensive line rankings. They are the best out there and help, on a weekly basis, which offensive lines to attack. We have been able to spot some weekly gems and hope to continue to be a source of streaming glory. Thanks again for reading, and good luck in Week 4.
