The big hurdle for most fantasy managers making the leap into IDP leagues is player knowledge, or lack thereof. The fear of the unknown. But really, most fantasy managers don’t know any given week’s waiver wire fodder. Look at some of the top offensive scorers from Week 14: Rashaad Penny, Derrick Gore, Craig Reynolds, Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer, Cam Sims, Damiere Byrd and the list goes on. We may recognize some of these names, but the game is always shifting. You follow the points and playing time as best you can—the same can be said for IDP.
If you’re comfortable and you know what to expect in your league, it’s time for an added challenge.
