Week 10 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

We are entering that fantasy phase where some teams must plan for next year. Some squads have been hit with injuries, others bad luck. Whatever the reason, hundreds of managers in long-term keeper or dynasty leagues have a 2-7 or 3-6 record. This leaves you with little hope of contention and the startling reality of […]

Week 9 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

The NFL's trade deadline was again a noteworthy affair, which is thankfully becoming a regular occurrence. While the offensive moves at the deadline were limited, there were several major moves on the defensive side of the ball. That's music to many IDP managers' ears. For fantasy purposes, we saw four trades that likely impacted IDP […]

Week 8 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

The NFL's trade deadline is fast approaching, and that is finally starting to mean something.

Week 7 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

As we enter Week 7 of the NFL season, we are nearing the mid-point of the fantasy sleight. Thus, now is a good time to take stock of the IDP waiver landscape.

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.

Still Too Early 2024 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

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.

Shaquille Leonard was once this type of fantasy defender, but he lost that crown to injury and competition on his own team. […]

Week 3 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

There is one thing that new IDP managers should remember as in-season moves and injuries start to rack up. That is defensive news travels slower than offensive news does. Just think about how many alerts you got when Kareem Hunt signed, or Cam Akers was traded. These running backs couldn't find a field last week, […]

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.

The most concerning defender on the injury list is Jalen Pitre, our second-ranked DB entering the season. Pitre […]
