SS over FS?

Sorry to ask stupid questions but... I’m still trying to figure out this IDP strategy

SS over FS??
MLB over WLB ??

Yes and yes. Generally it is wisest to go after tackles from IDPs and SS and MLB tend to get the most, this may vary if your league is big play scoring heavy. FSs and OLBs will have their huge games and some even finish seasons as high scorers but they tend to not have the same consistency.

what BD said. I like consistency from my IDP. Give me tackles all day long. Now, some of the elite guys throw in sacks as well and that's what you're shooting for. The floor of a high tackle guy, with the ceiling of big sack numbers (Darnold, Hunter etc.)

This. I think too though that sometimes the highest tackle players are also the worst coverage players which can lead to fewer fantasy stud production years. I think that's partly why many IDP owners caution against overpaying for SS and LB previous year(s) production.
