Slim Pickings: 2020 Interior Defensive Linemen Ranks

All Access / By /

The scarcity of defensive ends that challenge fantasy gamers assembling rosters in conventional-position IDP leagues shifts to the interior in true-position IDP. I’ve ranked 62 interior defensive linemen for 2020 because every IDL with a pulse will eventually appear on fantasy rosters. I calibrated my ranks for 2020 seasonal leagues for 14-team, true-position full-IDP leagues with the scoring settings of FantasyPros.com and 55 roster spots. To that end, I list here 40 interior defensive linemen in the order of value they offer teams starting 11 IDPs including two IDLs. The remaining 22 require additional explanation.

Stock Up to Win: 2020 EDGE Ranks

All Access / By /

2019 was a banner year for rookie edge defenders. Several more break-out performances from players that fantasy gamers had left for dead combine with the rookies good depth to the EDGE position. The position mirrors the wide-receiver position in that there are more strong, steady options than ever and plenty of depth for those with the stomach to play match-ups.

All Access / By /

Seasonal (redraft) ranks will appear in article form this year at Dynasty Football Factory. The IDP ranks in spreadsheet form are and will remain for a dynasty format. I’ll update these dynasty ranks year-round, thus making available a rare resource for IDP gamers. I, myself, was always on the hunt for current dynasty ranks for start-up and dispersal drafts for IDP leagues before I started writing.

Schemes Are Ch-Ch-Changing: The Rams Are Sputtering!

All Access / By /

The Los Angeles Rams felt the hangover of a Super Bowl loss in 2019, missing the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They finished 7th in total offense (yards gained) and 13th in total defense. The analytics firm Football Outsiders ranked the 2019 Rams defense 9th. This defense improved significantly over the 2018 version in both metrics while the offense regressed year over year.

2020 IDP Prospects: Linebacker

All Access / By /

Simmons has the skills and experience to be a star at the next level. The former Clemson star posted a sub 4.4 forty at the combine, which pushed his expected draft position into the top 10. A player who can be used in dozens of situations (see snap tracker below), there are defensive coordinators throughout the league salivating at the chance to work with Simmons.

NFL Mock Draft: Part 2

Dynasty, Mock Drafts / By /

We’re back with Part 2 and immediately get some excitement with our first skill player of the mock. CeeDee Lamb goes to the Jets at pick 11. There was some consideration here between a wide receiver and an offensive tackle, but I have a feeling the Jets will be in play when the draft rolls around for Washington Redskins’ Trent Williams.

IDL Prospect Draft Watch

All Access / By /

With the college bowl season in full swing and I continue to dig deep into my draft prep, I thought I would take the time to go over some of the potential prospects at the interior defensive line position. This is one of the most crucial but unpraised positions in football. They do the heavy lifting to open things up for the rest of the defense. Keep in mind, this is just who I have watched to this point so far. As I watch more game film and prospects, I will update this list accordingly.
