Week 3 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

While Week 2 was rough for some of my streamer picks, it ultimately served as a reminder of how unreliable metrics can be year-to-year. As I’ve said before, coaching staff and offensive line changes happen every season, and the smallest move can change everything. If a team loses one guard, the whole line can suffer. […]

Week 2 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

With a week under our belts, injuries are already taking hold of fantasy and NFL teams. Aaron Rodgers is the most obvious name on that list, but several IDP-relevant players also came up limping in Week 1. The most concerning defender on the injury list is Jalen Pitre, our second-ranked DB entering the season. Pitre […]

Week 2 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

Week 1 of the NFL season is under our belts. The opening weekend had its usual share of surprises, such as Puka Nakua exceeding our wildest expectations. It also had its fair share of unsurprising outcomes, as some players and teams met our expectations to a T. For example, as we expected, Chris Jones missed […]

Week 1 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

The NFL season starts in less than a week, which is an exciting time for most. However, the beginning of the year can be nerve-wracking if you rostered injured superstars like Cooper Kupp or Jonathan Taylor. IDP fans may have it even worse. Nick Bosa and Chris Jones managers don't just worry about whether their […]

IDP Positional Rankings for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts - Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back (Individual Defensive Players)

With the 2023 NFL season just a couple of weeks away, now is a fine time to renew my IDP positional rankings series. Every year, I will designate the top players at each defensive position in fantasy football and give you weekly analysis based on their matchups. We will do the same here but with […]

IDP Fantasy Football Mock Draft: One-Man Mock for Individual Defensive Players

Odds are you’ve heard fantasy football analysts refer to their “home leagues” before, but many don’t know what that means. Home leagues are your oldest fantasy leagues with your best friends, or leagues that you join to bond with coworkers. They include all kinds of personalities and skill levels, and they will always have head-scratching […]


2023 Rookie QB Predictions - Fantasy Football Dynasty League Projections

After a weak 2022 NFL Draft that left a bitter taste in the mouths of QB-needy Superflex teams last year, rookie quarterbacks are back on the radar of Superflex managers. Heading into fantasy football drafts last year, Kenny Pickett’s ceiling was always likely to be a mid-tier QB2. Malik Willis and Desmond Ridder had interesting […]

2023 Fantasy Football: Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft For Non-Superflex Leagues

With the NFL Draft in our rearview mirror, we have finally entered the Dynasty Rookie Draft season, and startup season is just around the corner. That means many of you are actively wondering what to do with this year's rookie class. It's a fair question in need of an answer, but that answer will largely […]

Running Back Sleepers and Undervalued Picks for Fantasy Football

No position in fantasy sports is as hotly debated as running back. At fantasy’s inception, running back was the paramount position. For 30+ years, drafting a stud RB with your first pick was not only advised but necessary. People who passed on the position typically struggled to keep up in traditional leagues. Things are changing […]

2023 Fantasy Football: Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft for Superflex Leagues

With the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, Dynasty Rookie Draft season is upon us, and the start of Dynasty Startup season is just around the corner. This means that many of you are likely wondering what to do with this year's rookie class. It's a fair question, but the answer will largely depend on […]


Two Round NFL Draft Mock (Draft Day Finale)

It's Draft Day, and the wait is almost over - finally! Various factors are now coming into play, including last-minute leaks that have players higher than we thought and lower. Sometimes the hardest mock to do is the one right before the draft because that is the one most bogged down by last-minute rumors and […]


Two Round NFL Draft Mock (Post-First Wave Free Agency)

Fresh off the NFL Combine and the first wave of free agency, we are armed with a new wave of hype and intrigue. As is true with every postseason bowl game, workout, and meeting, the NFL world is fresh with rumors, excitement, and speculation. Thus, now is as good a time as any to do […]

Fantasy Football: Dynasty Buy Lows (Post Free Agency)

Approximately one month ago, we offered you a list of players worth targeting in dynasty before NFL free agency. As we addressed at that time, those players were the types who stood to gain value thanks to projected off-season moves. Examples included Alexander Mattison gaining landing a starting job, Michael Pittman Jr. getting a new […]

NFL Draft Mock for Teams Without a First Round Pick

For NFL Draft junkies, there is no more frustrating experience than your team entering draft night without a first-round pick. That frustration is amplified when they don’t have a second or third-rounder, either. Few draft materials truly speak to fans of these teams. Whether you tune in to NFL Network or ESPN's coverage, look up […]

Fantasy Football: Dynasty Buy Lows (Pre-Free Agency)

With the NFL Combine underway and free agency on the horizon, now is a good time to do a price check on dynasty assets you want to keep or add. Many might ask why we would do this now when so many variables are left to be decided. Why not wait until free agency is […]


Week 18 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

As we covered at the beginning of our rankings earlier this week, we all continue to pray and wish for Damar Hamlin's health. The lives of these men are infinitely more important than our silly game of fantasy football. That said, a couple of things must be addressed before Week 18 begins. First, those still […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 18

Going into Sunday night, I had the introduction for this article already written. I was going to dive into Week 18 matchups that would and wouldn't lose starters to the Sit Bug and bemoan leagues that don't wrap up a week or two early. None of that matters too much right now. Watching Damar Hamlin […]


Week 17 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

As we enter the final week of fantasy football for most, it’s worth remembering IDP managers should give serious thought to what their team specifically needs. Our rankings are generalized. They consider a variety of factors, including balancing different scoring standards and taking both floor and upside into account. This is important to know, because […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 17

The multitude of things that can change or go wrong late in the NFL season is often overlooked, especially in fantasy projections. By Week 14 or 15, we have the majority of a season under our belts, so we get cocky about our projections and what teams are. However, this past weekend we saw what […]


Week 16 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

As I write this, the thermostat outside reads -21°F. I don't mention this to brag about what an ironman I am, surviving the elements in a heated home situated at the center of a very cold suburban town… though I am. I say this to explain just how anus-chilling the weather is in the northwest […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 16

In the NFL, safety should come first. Player health is incredibly important, especially cognitive and mental health. So, it's the right decision whenever a team follows caution and rules a player out for head injuries or otherwise. The fact that teams are doing so more often does significantly complicate fantasy matchups, though. This is why […]


Week 15 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

One thing to remember as we enter the fantasy playoffs is, you must ignore the urge to tinker with your established lineups. Injuries aside, the players you've been starting all year are likely the ones to start in the final weeks of the season. While I understand the urge is great to show off and […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 15

“I’m interested in (insert player name). What do you want for him? Get back to me ASAP!” It's a common fantasy inquiry most of us receive every year, especially in the last weeks before the trade deadline. People identify players you have that they want, and they tell you to make an offer, asking you […]


Week 14 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Arguably the biggest question facing many in fantasy football this week is whether Brock Purdy can adequately replace Jimmy Garoppolo. The impact of that issue falls not only on players like George Kittle and Deebo Samuel (who tied his season high in targets) but in how Purdy's presence will impact opposing defenders. Namely, does Purdy […]


49ers Defense D/ST Streamers, Rankings, Waiver Wire - Nick Bosa Fantasy Football IDP

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 14

According to a study done in 2019 by Statista, Daily Fantasy Football generated $2.91 billion in revenue in 2019. A more recent article from Forbes estimates that 32 million Americans play fantasy football every year, spending an average of $70 billion on direct expenditures (tournament fees, dues, etc.) and indirect expenditures (tv packages, research, etc.) […]


Week 13 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

This is about the time we start seeing them come in waves. NFL teams start get realistic about their playoff odds, the injuries start to mount, and those promising Q's next to your players' names start turning into IR. You can't blame teams for sacrificing a meaningless win to save their future. Minor injuries can […]

IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 13

Occasionally, there are injuries to the offensive side of the ball that are of particular note for IDP managers. For example, earlier this season, we gave a detailed account of Taylor Lewan's injury and the impact it would have on an already struggling Titans offensive line. As we predicted, since that time, Tennessee's pass blocking […]


Week 12 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

There are just a few precious things that we must remember on this eve of Thanksgiving. None of them are about family, friends, or being thankful. That's because fantasy football managers don't have time for that stuff. To commit to this hobby, you must eat, drink, and breathe football. Things like loved ones and eating […]


IDP Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 12

We all know this week is a big one in America. It is the week to celebrate a break in our dietary restrictions and a liberation from the expectation that we work on Thursdays! It is the time when people ignore their gluten intolerance, shed their diabetic precautions, and our livers forgive our trespasses. That’s […]


Week 11 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

With the fantasy season past its mid-point, some of us are starting to think ahead. That’s why, as you’ll see below, we are considering some big-name fantasy defenders who are readily available and worth adding for the playoffs. These recovering stars are risky, but they hold more upside than almost any other players currently available […]
