The IDP Show

The injuries continue to hit hard and fast for fantasy football on both sides of the ball... and now we have bye weeks to contend with. As we survey the wreckage from Week 4, we have to admire what Troy Andersen was able to do with his opportunity (before he got injured again, sigh). Elsewhere, rookie LBs are surging, and defensive linemen are dropping like flies. What are we IDP managers to do? J...

How do you know your offense is struggling? When there are four linebackers who've played more than 200 snaps through three weeks... and your team employs two of them. But that gives Zaire Franklin and EJ Speed a nice floor moving forward for IDP managers. Josh and Adam are joined by leaguemate Sam Cosby to discuss the Colts LBs, Nick Herbig's new opportunity, Lavonte David's disappoin...

Is it Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season... or Week 12? It feels like we've been through three months of the season given all the injuries this past weekend brought us. From Terrel Bernard to Jermaine Johnson, things are already getting grim for IDP fantasy managers. Josh, Adam, and Bobby gather to discuss the big injuries and other headlines from the week that was in the NFL. Shout out to Kentucky...

Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season has come and gone, and in its wake, we have some juicy storylines to dig into for IDP. Josh, Adam, and Bobby gather in the Sode Shack to run through a dozen or so points of interest from around the NFL to determine what matters (and what doesn't) for your IDP fantasy football leagues. Shout out to Kentucky's own Matt Duncan for the intro and outro music. The s...

With the 2024 NFL season kicking off on Thursday, it's that time of year: flag planting time! Josh, Adam, and Bobby gather in the Sode Shack to share the players they're putting their stamp on for the coming season. From top finishers at their position to rapid-fire takes covering every team, our trio celebrates the end of the offseason with some predictions for what might (hopefully) happ...

With the 2024 NFL season a little over a week away, it's the perfect time to talk about two of our favorite subjects: linebackers and trades! First up, the Big 3 welcomes in the Green Dot King, Mike Woellert , to discuss the bombshell Ernest Jones trade, some ambiguous green dot situations to monitor, under-the-radar LBs with green dot and 3-down appeal, and Mike's LB flag plants for 2024....

With the third week of the preseason underway, the 2024 NFL season is within striking distance. This past week's preseason action gave us some intriguing developments for our IDP leagues. Are any of them worth paying attention to? That's what Adam, Bobby, and Josh attempt to suss out on tonight's podcast. Before that, the trio goes through their IDP Madness drafts so far and discusses...

Josh is back and so is football! With Week 1 of the preseason wrapped, the Big 3 turn their attention to the juiciest storylines coming out of game action (plus some training camp news from this week). Is Frankie Luvu going to play primarily on the edge? Is the Trenton Simpson hype actually going to pay off? How much better are the Falcons after the additions of Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons? W...

Training camps are humming along and the first full slate of preseason action gets underway this weekend, which means we are inching ever closer to real NFL football. In the meantime, we still have a torrent of IDP news to wade through coming out of all 32 NFL training camps. With Josh out of town at Colts training camp, Adam and Bobby call in the big guns for this one: PFF's finest, Jon Macri...

NFL training camps are now well underway for all 32 teams, and with the rain-shortened Hall of Fame game tonight in Canton, Ohio, football is officially back, baby! To catch you up on all the news, we're looking at IDP nuggets from beat reporters for all 32 squads, going division by division from the NFC North to the AFC West. Josh, Adam, and Bobby weigh in on whether these bits of "news&...

With the start of IDP drafts being pretty chalky, the middle rounds are where drafters earn their money. After covering their favorite picks in the first 10 rounds previously, Josh and Adam are back to discuss the biggest values in rounds 11-20. If you're approaching these middle-round picks as opportunities to chase upside or go after boom/bust players, that's probably not the best approa...

Although we preach "fade DB" in IDP, that doesn't mean we dislike cornerbacks and safeties! In fact, thanks to an influx of young talent, the dynasty DB ranks are filled with studs we'd like to have on our teams. In this episode, Josh and Adam go through the top 24 DBs in Adam's dynasty rankings to see which guys are being overvalued and undervalued, who's due for regress...

Guest host Jase Abbey is joined by Jeff Pomazal, host of The IDP After Show , to present this year's All-Opportunity Team.

With 10 players to choose from, this list is a valuable resource for anyone looking for draft ste...

It's the 4th of July in the USA and what better way to celebrate freedom than by talking linebackers! Adam, Bobby, and Josh finish the top 48 dynasty LB series by looking at the LBs from 24-1 (with a bonus 25th name thrown in). We know Roquan, Foye, and Fred sit atop the mountain, but who are the 20+ other LBs we like best for dynasty leagues? Tune in to find out! Subscribe to our  YouTube cha...

Tune in as we discuss over 20 listener-submitted trades and...

With any type of fantasy football draft, identifying the right players to select in each round (and passing on the players who are sure to disappoint) is one of the keys to success. IDP-only drafts are no exception. Through the first 10 rounds, there are so many pockets of value just waiting to be exploited... and just as many landmines ready to blow up your draft. In this episode, Adam and Josh g...

Now that rookie fever has died down, let's revisit the rookies from the 2023 class. With a year of data under our belts, how are we feeling about Jalen Carter, Will Anderson, Brian Branch, and Devon Witherspoon? (Hint: very good.) The rest of the class, including those seven 1st round edge rushers? (Another hint: TBD.) Josh, Adam, and Bobby wade through the data from last season to determine t...

If one position has seen an influx of talent in recent years, it's edge rusher. The highest-paid position on defense is deep with talent both young and old. So in dynasty startup drafts, who are the EDGEs you want? That's what Josh, Adam, and Bobby endeavor to find out in this episode. Using Adam's dynasty rankings as the guide, they go through the top 24 dynasty edge rushers, place th...

With the dust settled post-draft and just a few free agents still out there, we have a solid idea of what NFL rosters will look like in 2024. Now is the right time to examine the fallout from the NFL Draft across the IDP landscape. Which veterans gained value and who is less appealing than they were a few weeks ago? Josh and Adam are joined by Scott Bogman from InThisLeague.com and FantasyPros to...

Enough talk... let's draft! After months of discussing the 2024 prospects, we know their landing spots and draft capital. Now it's time to see where they belong in our rookie drafts. To gauge the market value of these players, we put together a crew of drafters from The IDP Show for a 5-round, 1 QB, PPR, Big 3 Scoring mock draft with both offense and IDP (of course). Join Josh as he drafts...

With the 2024 NFL Draft officially in the books, we can now sort through all the picks and determine the dynasty outlooks for our favorite IDPs. Draft capital is part of the puzzle but so is landing spot -- and that's what we're looking at in this episode. To help with this exercise, the Big 3 welcome back best friend of the show, Jon Macri, to examine the best and worst IDP landing spots...

There's wild, and then there's "first round of the 2024 NFL Draft" wild! As chalky as the first four picks were, we saw some crazy developments with six QBs going in the first dozen picks and no defensive players being selected until the 15th pick. Speaking of that pick, the Big 3 assembled in the Sode Shack right after the first round ended to discuss the landing spots and oppor...
