Most fantasy football leagues usually just have an overall defense. However, there are a select few leagues that use the individual defense players (IDP) along with the overall defense. The reason IDP’s are seldom used is because they don’t get as many points as the normal positions. The most common points for an IDP are from sacks and interceptions. So, I ranked the IDP’s based on their sacks or interceptions.
