How to Use These IDP Rankings
Draft by tier, not by exact rank. In most IDP leagues, linebackers score the most points because of tackle volume, so lock in a Tier 1 LB or two early, then fill defensive line and defensive back based on your scoring settings. Sack-heavy DL and ball-hawk DB (interceptions plus tackles) add the weekly ceiling. Pair this sheet with our printable draft board and top-200 PPR cheat sheet so you can track the whole room while you build your defense.
