Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 5

All Access / By /

“Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire” is written for fantasy football gamers in leagues that require a full complement of 11 defensive starters in leagues of 12 to 16 teams. We rely on scoring settings from FantasyPros.com, even though their value for passes defensed is a bit low. We’ll look for options at both conventional and true defensive positions as they arise. Players qualifying for this column are those rostered in no more than a third of IDP leagues on MyFantasyLeague.com (MFL). These recommendations further assume you, the manager, have finite roster space with challenging cut decisions to add new names.

2020 IDP Wrap Up: Safeties

All Access / By /

We learned that tackles are king at safety! The top five finishers in IDP scoring at safety all finished with more than 100 total tackles each through week 16. The top five stars of the safety position included Jordan Poyer, Budda Baker, Jessie Bates, Jeremy Chinn, and Adrian Phillips. Of those finishers, three are under the age of 26, and amazingly, Jeremy Chinn was able to crack the top five as a rookie. Chinn looks primed for another excellent year of production in 2021, so if you roster the Carolina safety, you are looking fine.

2020 IDP Wrap Up: Off-Ball Linebacker

All Access / By /

We learned that the young star linebackers were prepared to dominate once again! Both Roquan Smith and Devin White came into 2020 with extremely high expectations, and both delivered with resounding success. These two superstars combined for 280 total tackles (140 each), 32 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks on the season. Finishing just behind these two phenoms was a trio of consistent veterans in Zach Cunningham, Blake Martinez, and Joe Schobert. Barring any major unforeseen changes, the 2020 top five should produce well again in 2021.

IDP Stock Market: Week 4

Uncategorized / By /

OLB, Shaq Barrett, Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe five-year pro, from Colorado State, is one of the hottest names in IDP right now. In his previous four seasons, all with the Denver Broncos, he never had more than six sacks in a season. His career-best of five and a half came in his rookie season. After his rookie contract expired, the Broncos decided to go in a different direction. The Buccaneers stepped up and took a chance on him and signed him to a one year $4 million deal. The return for them so far has paid off big time!
