Fantasy Football IDP Report - August 12

As promised in the IDP Breakdown of the Fantasy Alarm Draft Guide, here is the third of our weekly updated IDP rankings. The three categories-DL, LB, DB-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.

As the preseason moves forward, expect changes to take place in the rankings on a regular basis. There are just a few alterations towards the bottom of the DL rankings this week, for example, but both the linebacker and to a greater extent, the defensive back projections are revising those IDP that reside in the top 50 each week.

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 e-mail. 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:

Table 1 DL

Table 2 LB

Table 3 DB

Good luck and god speed in all your fantasy efforts.
