2022 IDP Rankings - Top 125 Defensive Players for Fantasy Football

Aaron Donald - Fantasy Football Rankings, IDP Draft Sleepers, Defense (DST)

Welcome RotoBallers to more fantasy football rankings! In this article you'll see our NFL team's updated 2022 fantasy football IDP rankings (top 125) for IDP formats. For anyone who may not be familiar with fantasy football IDP leagues, this type of league format requires that individual defensive players (IDP) get drafted by fantasy football managers. Linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs all rack up fantasy points for their defensive stats including tackles, sacks, interceptions, touchdowns, etc.

Now let's get to the good stuff. Two of RotoBaller's lead fantasy football analysts - Pierre Camus and Chris Gregory - have put together their individual 2022 IDP rankings, which we have aggregated into a consensus ranking. These IDP rankings have been put together after the NFL Draft, so they will contain the 2022 NFL rookie class. The IDP rankings will be tweaked all throughout the preseason, so make sure check back regularly for updates.

In addition to these IDP draft rankings, be sure to also check out our team's fantasy football articles and analysis - they discuss draft sleepers, busts, players to target and avoid, rookies in the best landing spots, and so much more. Most importantly, our brand new free mobile app is a must have - download it and configure your notifications. We deliver all the top NFL news, injuries, and fantasy analysis 24x7 with our free push notification alerts.
