Best Resources For IDP Rankings

I shall do my best!

There are people that I come across that I think, if they had the time & interest, that they should be fantasy football experts. I would gladly cheer to see you become known as an IDP guru. I doubt I could list on one hand a list of DLF forum posters who put so much time & effort into their rankings & player valuations that you do (imo).

I am very humbled to hear your words, thank you!

Hi guys! I was reading your discussion here and I'd love for some feedback. I'm one of the new IDP rankers for DLF. I joined mid-season as a "replacement" but I'm excited about the year ahead to do things right and go through a full cycle.

Even as a mid-season replacement ranker, I struggled with how often to update my dynasty rankings for IDP. I mean, would you guys really respect rankings if I move my #12 DB to my #2 DB because he had 2 INTs this past week? (Real question -- I'd like your responses!)

I wrote the waiver wire IDP article for the second half of 2018 and I had to remind myself frequently that I wasn't chasing 10 tackle performances -- I was here to tell you guys whether I thought I guy was a real talent on the rise or just some dude who blew up for one week. I always want to be true to DLF's mission: long-term player value.

So is that enough to start a discussion? What's valuable to you? I don't expect anyone to shell out good money for rankings if you don't feel the value is there. I want to make sure the value is there.

Hire Luckky to do some analysis for ya.
Didn’t want to be a smart bleep, but Luckky does a lot of scouting on IDP and is a big contributor to our discussion in this forum.

Otherwise I would think most are talking about rookie analysis and even Devy. The regular season articles are good. The snap count analysis is great. I think we r looking more on rookie and to a lesser degree Devy analysis.

We all also agree that IDP analysis is tough outside of snap counts for actual NFL players. But a few articles about some guys you think could be good future nfl players helps us or just churn over names and check stuff out further on our own.

Right now what I do for example is just accumulate names into a list. Then at the end of the nfl season I start doing research on that list. News article, stats and some film if it can be found. But DLF articles start discussion on players and that is very helpful at the least. It brings some names to be highlighted. Especially since it is so hard to predict rookie and Devy IDP players future.

Oh and I for one am appreciative that you would chime in on this discussion. Shows initiative in improving. Thx.

As far as changing rankings that drastically in season, I would question you if it was because of 2 picks and would probably question any change that big in the top 10. That said, at the mid level a change that big due to an actual situation change, injuries in front of someone, them taking over as a starter and playing well, several weeks of sustained performance then yes I would respect the change and am somewhat bothered rankers don't make those changes in season more than they do
