*You Down With IDP?

[CROney3]

the reason you have these numbers is the lower number of required players to pick on the defensive side along with scoring not matching top offensive performers. increase the total number of defensive players to equal offensive players, then adjust the scoring so the top 3 or so of each position group scores roughly equal at all positions. you'll see more equal representation across multiple seasons worth of IDP data. this was something IRL fantasy leagues already do for offense, with SF, expanding WR starting spots, PPR and TE premium, special RB scoring, PPFD, and I've played in IDP leagues where Aaron Donald was scoring equal to the top WRs in PPR, and I learned a TON of DL and LB because it was dynasty to boot...

but back to the point. the problem isn't the representation is low. the problem is the scoring doesn't reflect the desired distribution of players across the fantasy selections. don't make fantasy a offense only club, defense is (are?) people too. and this coming from a career WR. let's get MORE defense, not less.

I don't actually disagree with this premise. LB's and DB's actually score similar to offensive players (not RB's, which are OP) but DL is severely weak in terms of total points. Increasing defensive spots and scoring could make them matter more and therefore provide a more unique way to go about team building.

My “I don’t like long drafts” argument has turned into “let’s add more rounds” discussion. I renounce this article

You draft one team offense one team defense. Two rounds and done.

You draft one team offense one team defense. Two rounds and done.

I love this idea. Going to start a high stakes buy in league for it.

Up with IDP! Add it to dynasty!

Removing it from redraft seems fine though. I'm good with either way honestly.
