IDP leagues in fantasy football give managers the opportunity to approach their defensive players in the same way as their offensive players. They should be analyzed each week based off of their recent individual performances and direct weekly matchups to determine their fantasy value. Here's how the IDP rankings for Week 10 stack up.
