IDP streaming is essential for staying competitive in your leagues. Streaming involves analyzing weekly matchups and playing different players with the best potential outcomes each week. This edition will examine the top IDP streaming IDL and EDGE options.

We had a 50% hit rate for Week 12. Daron Payne, Nick Herbig, and Dante Stills had big games and came away with sacks. There are great matchups to target this week. Here are the top IDP streaming IDL and Edge options for Week 13.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL Daron Payne, Washington Commanders

Matchup: Tennessee Titans - Ranked 29th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

We hit on Payne last week and will try to ride a potential hot streak. Payne has had a terrible season up to his standards but was incredibly active against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12. He finished with four total tackles and a sack. The Commanders need Payne to be disruptive if they plan on making a playoff push.

They take on the Titans in Week 13. The Titans have been on a slippery slope to misery. Their season is over, and the team's direction is in question. The Titans have also allowed 41 sacks on the season, which is terrible enough for 3rd worst in the NFL. Payne is a great IDP Streaming option for Week 13.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL John Franklin-Myers, Denver Broncos

Matchup: Cleveland Browns - Ranked 16th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Franklin-Myers seems to sleep yearly, though he comes away with productive seasons. He has 29 tackles on the season, and his five sacks are just one shy of his previous career-high. The Broncos' defensive line is packing a punch with Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper, who we will mention later. Franklin-Myers is an IDL that is perfect for IDP streaming. He is a solid-floor, high-upside interior defender. Franklin-Myers was dominant in Week 12:

The Broncos' beastly interior defender will square off with the Browns. The same offensive line has allowed the most sacks on the season with 47. There is no better week than Week 13 to use Franklin-Myers for IDP streaming. Fire him up.

IDP Streaming Option: Edge Jonathon Cooper, Denver Broncos

Matchup: Cleveland Browns - Ranked 16th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Cooper had a career year in 2023 with 71 tackles, eight-and-a-half sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, two passes defended, one interception, and a defensive touchdown. He is off to another great season, sitting at 46 tackles and seven sacks. The breakout of fellow Edge defender Nik Bonitto has overshadowed Cooper. 

Cooper should probably be in your starting lineup, but if you are faced with a wavering lineup decision involving him, be sure to start Cooper. As mentioned earlier, he is playing the Browns, who have given up the most sacks in the NFL. Cooper is an exciting IDP streaming option for Week 13.

IDP Streaming Option: Edge Za'Darius Smith, Detroit Lions

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

Smith is a beast of a pass rusher. He has eight pressures in his first two games with the Lions and 25 pressures in his last five, if you include his final three games with the Browns.

Za'Darius Smith since joining the Lions:

? 22.9% pass rush win rate
? 8 total pressures

Smith produced a half-sack in his first game with the Lions. After the loss of Aidan Hutchinson, the team needed to bolster its pass rush. Smith has answered that by playing a robust 72% of the team's defensive snaps since his arrival.

Smith is not a stranger when playing the NFC North after stints with the Packers and Vikings. This week, he plays a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears. They have allowed 44 sacks on the season, the second most of any team. Fire up Smith as a top-notch IDP streaming option for Week 13.

IDP Sleeper Option: IDL Micheal Clemons, New York Jets

Matchup: Seattle Seahawks - Ranked 25th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Clemons is having the best season of his career. He is just seven tackles shy of his career-high and has almost doubled his previous career-high in sacks with four. Clemons has been playing in a defensive line rotation, though still has seen a 59% snap share. He is capable of having blow-up games. In Week 9, Clemons had three tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Last week, Clemons accrued a whopping eight total tackles. 

The Seahawks do not provide much protection for their quarterback or any semblance of cohesiveness in the run game. Clemons has an opportunity to have a high-volume, mid-floor game with sack upside, making him a sneaky IDP streaming option for Week 13.

IDP Sleeper Option: Edge Baron Browning, Arizona Cardinals

Matchup: Minnesota Vikings - Ranked 18th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Browning showed promise with the Broncos, though injuries derailed his career in Denver. The emergence of both Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto made Browning expendable, and the Broncos traded him to the Arizona Cardinals for a 6th-round pick in the 2025 draft. Browning may be the top edge rusher on the Cardinals and has boosted his snap share to 59% in his second game with the team. 

The Vikings have allowed 32 sacks during the season, the 10th most allowed in the NFL. Browning has nothing to lose. He is going to play his heart out. This is virtually a contract year for him, and he is auditioning for a contract after this season. He is an intriguing IDP streaming option for Week 13.

Final Thoughts

All of the players in this article have pass-rushing upside. When streaming, you should choose players because of potential big games, not players who give you a consistent tackle floor. These are players who can win you weeks, not keep you afloat. It is time to get aggressive. Remember, it is Thanksgiving week, so set your lineups early. Thank you for reading, and good luck in Week 13. Enjoy your family, friends, food, and football!
