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.

In the Week 14 edition, Bryan Bresee and Leonard Floyd were smash hits. Though no player was a flat-out miss from last week, the others did not move the lineup needles. Week 15 is most leagues' first week of the fantasy playoffs, so we will forgo the sleepers part of the article. Now is not the time to start a sleeper in your lineups over your proven starters. Here are the top IDP streaming matchups for Week 15.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL Nnamdi Madubuike, Baltimore Ravens

Matchup: New York Giants - Ranked 32nd in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

By all means, Madubuike is an absolute disappointment this season compared to 2024. Do not be fooled; three of his five sacks this season came in one game, and he has only two in the other 12 games. That does not mean he magically forgot how to play football, as is evident from his three-sack game against the Bengals in Week 10.

Week 15 offers a matchup where Madubuike can again prove he is a dominant interior pass-rushing force. The Giants have allowed 42 sacks on the season, the sixth most in the NFL. They have allowed 12 over the past three games. This is a perfect opportunity for Madubuike to salvage a lost season. He is an excellent IDP streaming option for Week 15.

IDP Streaming Option: IDL Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins

Matchup: Houston Texans - Ranked 6th in Matt Bitonti's Offensive Line Rankings

Many thought that Ogbah's days of relevancy were over, I included. Yet, with Bradley Chubb still yet to suit up and Jaelan Phillips out again for the season, Ogbah finds himself playing meaningful snaps down the stretch for the Dolphins. After playing just 25% of the Dolphins' defensive snaps in 2023, Ogbah has been present on 71% of the team's snaps in 2024.

Ogbah finds himself in a favorable matchup for the first week of the fantasy playoffs. The Dolphins play the Texans, who have allowed 42 sacks, the sixth most. Ogbah is a veteran, and the Dolphins are fighting for a playoff birth. They will need Ogbah to turn back the clock and win his interior matchups. He is a powerful IDP streaming option for Week 15.
