Fantasy Football IDP Report - July 29

Published: Jul 29, 2019

As promised in the IDP Breakdown in the Fantasy Alarm Draft Guide, here is the first of our weekly updated IDP rankings. The three categories-DL, LB, DB-are expanded to include the 50 top IDP players based on current projections. Within each category, the defensive players are designated at their primary position, although depending on the platform hosting your league, some of the players will qualify at two positions (e.g., Olivier Vernon qualifies at both LB and DE on Yahoo), so study your league settings well to get a leg up on your competition.

The rankings are based on the following scoring system:

Solo Tackle (or Total Tackles) 1 point

Assisted tackle 1/2 point

Sack 4 points

Interception 6 points

Pass defended 1 point

Fumble forced 4 point

Fumble recovered 2 points

Safety 2 points

Blocked FG/PAT/Punt 6 points

All defensive TDs 6 points

As promised in the Draft Guide, there is the potential for revised rankings to be prepared, based on your specific league scoring system, if you send me the particulars in an email. You need to track down this writer’s contact information somewhere else on the site, as there should be an effort expended to receive the reward.

Below are the top 50 DL/LB/DBs per current projections, and these will be updated weekly until the regular season kicks off:
