IDP Cheatsheet: Week 10

We’re headed into Week Ten of the 2011 fantasy football season, which means we get a bye week from the bye weeks and all 32 teams in the NFL are in action starting Thursday night. That means a deeper talent pool to choose from in IDP leagues, which in turn meant a few more names just missed the cut on this week’s Cheatsheet. Good problem to have I suppose.

To help you prepare for another week’s fantasy action here’s a look at my Top 30 defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs for Week Ten of the 2011 season in IDP leagues.

These rankings are based on
Default IDP Manor Scoring, which awards 1 point for solos, .5 points for assists, 2 points each for fumbles forced and recovered, 4 points for interceptions, sacks, and safeties, 6 points for defensive touchdowns, and 1 point for passes defensed. It’s a balanced scoring system, so if your IDP league is especially tackle-heavy or big play-heavy some players may move up (or down) a few spots.
