Week 17 IDP Rankings: Defensive Linemen

Filed under: ,

Justin TuckGiants DE Justin Tuck was -- far and away -- the best fantasy defensive lineman of 2010. With 74 total tackles, 11.0 sacks, three passes defended and five fumble recoveries, he's soaring above the other linemen who challenged him for the top spot. The biggest surprise, however, was the effectiveness of Lions rookie Ndamukong Suh, who posted the best IDP numbers of any defensive tackle in recent memory. Suh has 59 tackles, 9.0 sacks, three PD, an interception, a fumble that he returned for a TD, and a very bright future in the NFL.

It was a crazy year for a bunch of interior defensive linemen. Five of the top 15 scoring defensive linemen were defensive tackles, including Suh, Bills NT Kyle Williams, Browns NT Ahtyba Rubin, Ravens DT Haloti Ngata and Jets NT Sione Pouha, who took over for four-time Pro Bowler Kris Jenkins when he was lost for the season with a knee injury.
