Week 6 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

In this week’s IDP rankings article, I lampooned Arthur Smith as an offensive coach who can’t score points and gets bailed out by his defense and soft schedule. Today, I'd like to touch on another offensive coach who some are giving too much credit this week. That coach is Nathaniel Hackett. While the Jets rightly […]

Week 4 brought five new faces to the weekly top-12 WR finishers club (PPR scoring), including Michael Wilson, Chris Godwin, and Romeo Doubs.

Week 3 saw many usual suspects finish in the top 12 at receiver, including Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase.

Week 4 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

Entering this season, IDP managers faced a down year in individual defensive player rankings.

Week 2 saw more than its fair share of breakout fantasy/DFS performances from up-and-coming receivers - Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, Josh Reynolds, and George Pickens all finished as top 12 receivers for the week despite having sub-$6,000 salaries on DraftKings. DFS pricing tends to get sharper as the season progresses. This can already be felt […]
