The Dark Side of the Moon: Exploring IDP through the Prism of Offense

"The Dark Side of the Moon: Exploring IDP through the Prism of Offense" is a comprehensive look at how the IDP and non-IDP worlds are similar. @DynastyTripp shows how values compare from both sides of the field.

In last week’s Dynasty Trades HQ podcast, Jennifer Eakins of 4for4.com agreed with the cast that dynasty fantasy football gamers dominated Twitter discussions of player values. Dynasty gamers, the group agreed, seek to persuade those in redraft gamers to try the long game. 

The IDP cult (including yours truly) will proselytize offense-only fantasy gamers, hopeful they’ll breathe in the air and…

Schemes Are Ch-Ch-Changing: Part 2

Schemes Are Ch-Ch-Changing: Part 2. Defensive scheme changes can hurt #IDP players fantasy values. @DynastyTripp breaks down the Dolphins, Texans and Titans. #DynastyFootball #DFFArmy

Anticipating and acting on scheme change is a risk/reward proposition in fantasy football. Correctly anticipating an edge defender’s new role in a defense can deliver a difference-maker at the most valuable IDP position. There, I said it! The value above replacement for a high-end DE is greater than that for linebackers through much of the spectrum of IDP scoring formats. Meanwhile, an edge…

Schemes Are Ch-Ch-Changing – Cha-Ching

Schemes Are Ch-Ch-Changing – Cha-Ching: @DynastyTripp breaks down the defensive scheme shake-up in Cleveland #FantasyFootball #IDPFantasy

Part 1: Cleveland Browns

It’s often said that a good coach modifies his scheme to fit the talent he inherits. Coaches also lose jobs frequently because their franchise doesn’t think they’re… um… good.  Other coaches lose jobs because their franchises think a different scheme is the answer. Redskins owner Dan Snyder insisted on a 4-3 defense as defensive coordinator Greg Manuskydeparted. Rams’…

Threatened Species: IDP Impact of Panthers' Regime Change

Threatened Species: IDP Impact of Panthers’ Regime Change

No NFL team is undergoing more transition than the Carolina Panthers. Founding owner Jerry Richardson sold the franchise to David Tepper ahead of the 2019 season. It seemed much of the organization was on probationary employment. Fired after Week 13, head coach Ron Rivera didn’t see the season through. Star defender Luke Kuechly announced his retirement after the regular season. (Former?)…

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 16

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: @DynastyTripp has the IDP pickups you need to make for Week 16

Congratulations to those of you reading this! Perhaps your team is still alive, and you need a spot-start in Week 16. 

Those who advanced did so during a strange week for IDP fantasy football. One of the league’s leading tacklers over the last three weeks, the Jaguars’ Donald Payne wasn’t certain to startlate last week due to performance issues. The NFL teams that have given up sacks in bunches…

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 15

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: @DynastyTripp is here to help you move on in the playoffs with his Week 15 finds

The playoffs will be or already underway in most fantasy leagues in Week 15. Time has run out to put chips on players in hopes that they emerge. Injury replacements can prove risky, as well. Reserve players thrust into full-time roles can find themselves back on the bench quickly for poor play. 

Players leaving the field with injuries sustained in Week 14 include Dee Ford, Ryan Kerrigan, Jarrad…

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: Week 14

Raiding the IDP Waiver Wire: @DynastyTripp has the IDP waiver wire adds you need for Week 14

Finding productive players for next week’s fantasy football line-ups involves identifying emerging young players and spotting the “next man up” due to injury or transaction. NFL teams have played three-quarters of their games. Those teams playing for 2020 are likely to get young players more involved. 

Lions’ rookie CB Amani Oruwariyeis a good example. He’s playing a full-time role on the outside…
