The IDP streaming matchups for Week 4 were a 50/50 split. We hit on Calais Campbell and Leonard Floyd but missed on Jordan Davis and Derek Barnett. We did see some matchups that should be exploited weekly, though. The Patriots saw their second consecutive week of allowing at least six sacks. The Cleveland Browns continue to be a source of opposing defensive line production, leading the league in sacks allowed. Here are the IDP streaming matchups for IDL and Edge for Week 5.
IDL and Edge Streaming Options
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins
Matchup: New England Patriots - Ranked 23rd in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Ogbah has been a steady producer for his entire career. He has at least 5.5 sacks in six of his nine seasons in the NFL. The Dolphins are missing Bradley Chubb, and Jaelan Phillips is fresh off an Achilles injury. Christian Wilkins also left in free agency. The Dolphins needed extra pass-rush help. Ogbah has been solid this season with 14 total tackles, a sack, an interception, and six pressures.
The Dolphins play the Patriots, who have allowed 13 sacks over the past two weeks. Without anything changing in New England, the Dolphins should be able to overwhelm the Patriots' offensive line, making Ogbah a solid IDP streaming option.
IDP Streaming Option: IDL Daron Payne, Washington Commanders
Matchup: Cleveland Browns - Ranked 21st in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings
Payne is having a horrendous season in comparison to what we are used to. He only has four total tackles and half of a sack over the first four games of the season. It is not for the lack of pressure, though. He has 11 in those four games. Payne is also coming off a game with his first-half sack of the season. Check out the nice swim move:

What better get-right game than against the Browns to make Payne an IDP streaming option? The Browns have allowed a league-most 19 sacks over the first four games of the season. Payne should have no problem hitting home against this Swiss cheese line. He is a surefire IDP streaming option for Week 5.
