As I alluded to in today’s previous Weekly Rankings release (SPOILER ALERT!), football is finally here! And with it comes an assortment of treats. And by treats, I specifically mean alcohol for me. And rankings for you. I’m proud to announce the return of IDP Rankings to Razzball, last seen a few seasons ago, we’ve returned to some of our niche roots. Not only did we add some light (or as the millennials call it: lite) IDP to our Razzball Commenter Leagues this year, but I myself believe that IDP is on the cusp of hitting the mainstream. I also think Armageddon is in the top-10 movies ever made, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. Or like a huge rock of salt. Regardless, I’m happy to bring IDP back, seeing as how J.Timba was already in charge of bringing that sexy back. HOW CAN THIS MAN HOARDE ALL THE SEXINESS? Oh, that’s why. Let’s get to your Week 1 IDP Rankings!

IDP is becoming a big part of what we do at Razzball, especially in our new RCL IDP leagues.  Background knowledge of players to draft can set you apart and become a deciding factor in weekly wins and losses.  I’ve already written a general strategy piece about how and when to draft IDP spots.  Also the article emphasized recognizing how your league scores your IDP scoring, that is the most important part of all.  But, we haven’t really expressed what individual players to target.  If your IDP spots aren’t position specific, I’ll give you a few linebacker names that I really like.  If your IDP leagues are position specific, we will dive into a few defensive line and defensive back names as well.

Take me on in the Razzball Commenter Leagues for a chance at prizes! Free to join, leagues still open!

IDP leagues have been around for years.  More and more leagues are gravitating towards them as people look for something different. At Razzball, we are embracing IDP this season as well.  Jay recently announced that Razzball will be including IDP slots in RCL lineups as a replacement for kickers and D/ST slots.  This is such a great and exciting way to replace the two least exciting spots in our fantasy football lineups. To keep things interesting, we will have 1 spot for a defensive lineman, 1 spot for a linebacker, and one spot for a defensive back.  Not only are we replacing the boring positions, but we are adding another starting spot.  Some of you may be unfamiliar with IDP as a whole.  Some of you may not know how to value an IDP position or strategize these spots in your draft.  I think I can help give you a few pointers.  As somebody who has been playing in leagues with 1-9 IDP spots for the last five years, I have pointers for people who are familiar with IDP as well.

Even though I’m not one to pat myself on the back (actually, I am), Razzball has been on an upward curve, bringing some sort of conglomerate synergistic metamorphosis (as they say in the corporate world), providing you an ever-improving ranking accuracy year after year. How do we do it? No clue. It could be dark wizardry. It could be indigestion. It could even be your mother. But I have to admit, this year is going to be daunting, if only because the expectations we’ve placed on ourselves here at Razzball Football are at an all time high (just like my college years). Going from 31st overall to 22nd in Weekly Fantasy Football accuracy is one thing. But going from 22nd to the top 10 in the entire nation last season is quite another. And then on top of that, to finish third overall in our Draft Rankings last year… well, it’d be folly to try and say “Yes, we’re going to try even more, (more better if you believe in remedial English)”, but yeah, I’m going to say it… We’re going to do more better. (My English teacher just placed a bounty on me.) With that said, and my parentheses key broken, here are your 2017 Fantasy Football IDP Top 100 Overall Rankings
