Fantasy University: IDP strategy guide

Mark Morales-Smith introduces the strategies behind individual defense players (IDP) to Fantasy Football owners.

When you think fantasy football, you think about high-powered offensive weapons and the superstar quarterbacks who get them the ball. Now the tide is changing. In IDP (Individual Defensive Player) leagues, instead of drafting a team defense, you draft individual players at each defensive position. This format is not for the faint of heart. It really takes fantasy football to the next level. IDP leagues take a lot more time, work and dedication. Nevertheless, if you are an avid football junkie like so many of us are, it's well worth the blood, sweat and tears.
