    On the surface this seems obvious, but this is a league in which we get to keep 2 players. I have already clinched a playoff birth and I should have a good chance to win a championship. I doubt that I would end up keeping DeAngelo so really I am going to either accept or decline this trade depending on whether It will help me over the next three weeks.

    How important IDPs are and in what round they start going is dependent on their relative scoring in your league. In most cases, and for most wiser IDP drafters, IDPs start going after you've secured most of offensive player bench. I say wiser because, invariably, someone will race out to take a "name" player like Urlacher with a relative high pick (7, 8, 9, depending on league format). Then the next round someone else will take another, maybe two or three people, and then the next round they start going.

     

    The thing to remember for IDPs is much like with offensive players...it's about relative value. Sure, it would be nice to have the #1 or 2 projected IDP, but the thing is the #10 or 15 IDP will score almost as much on a weekly basis. The point split between the two is NOT enough to race out there so early. Hold off a bit, take more and better offensive backups/depth, and then still get good IDPs later. Let the fools rush in!

     

    Also with IDPs, depending on the scoring, think LB and S. They are, by far, the most consistent. They get you tackles every week plus they can still get the sacks, INTs, FRs, etc. Now, if your league doesn't score tackles, then all bets off. And if your league is heavy on sacks or INTs, you have to look at DEs and CBs too. In most all cases, avoid DTs, They just don't get the stats. They are vital in real football, not so much in fantasy.

     

    Remember too that most drafters aren't that good at IDPs either. They'll race out there for early picks, they'll draft the hotshot CBs who never get the ball thrown near them (meaning few opportunities for stats), the big name DTs, the aging All-Pros, etc. The point is, stay the course and stick to your plan, you'll get as good or better IDPs than them AND you'll have the better bench for it.

     

     

    Thanks. That helps a lot.

    I'm doing my first ever draft that includes IDP tonight. What are the basics???

    What round do defensive players start getting picked??? How important are IDPs in relation to RBs, WRs, etc???

    I've got Adrian Peterson, but I wasn't able to get Chester Taylor in the draft. I am trying to trade for him. Is this a good trade for me?:

    I get Chester Taylor and Maurice Morris

    He gets DeAngelo Williams and Andre Hall.

     

    I've got really good RBs (AP, MBIII, Jamal Lewis, Edge) so none of these players I am trading away or for would start anytime soon unless there are some big injuries. So basically I am debating whether it is worth it to give up Williams and Hall to get a handcuff for AP.

    thanks

    Although what he's saying may seem a little farfetched, the facts/numbers are undeniable.

    But his articles won't make me take Adrian Peterson out of my top ten RBs simply because it is impossible to predict who should be in the top ten instead of him. The odds of picking one of the four RBs who will repeat seem much better than the odds of picking the RBs who will replace the other 6. Plus, players who weren't in the top ten last year will tend to be drafted later so you can just pick them a round or two later.

     

    I hope he's not right though. In one of my leagues I've got Adrian Peterson, Marion Barber, Jamal Lewis, and Edgerrin James as my RBs.

    Your first four picks look great, and LenDale in the 5th isn't bad, but Eli Manning and Garrard in the 6th and 7th seem like reaches to me. I don't know what other QBs had been drafted, but it seems like you might've been able to get some more value a round or two later. Tatum Bell in the 9th and Greg Olsen in the 11th also seem like small reaches. Overall, though, your team looks pretty good.

    I don't totally understand your leagues rules, but from what I can understand it seems to me like keeping Romo and Colston would be a good idea. Romo and Colston are both just entering their primes and will be in the top 5 at their respective positions for the next 3-5 years, IMO. Rebuilding with McFadden and Forte is tempting but I would rather have the relatively sure things of Romo and Colston as opposed to the chance of McFadden and Forte becoming fantasy studs.

    Definitely Jones-Drew, he'll be good this year and great when Fred Taylor runs out of gas soon.

    After that it depends on whether you think you can win this year or are trying to build for the future. If you think you can win this year and want to go for it I would keep Witten. He's very consistent and will almost certainly be one of the top 3 TEs.

    Brown on the other hand is coming off of knee surgery and there isn't much precedent for RBs doing well the year after a knee injury. There's also been rumors out of Dolphins camp that Ricky Williams will take carries from Brown even if brown is healthy. In two or three years from now though Brown could be great.

    i'd go with portis. i think the redskins offense will be much improved this year with portis as the workhorse. he may be older and have more miles on him, but he's not old. Gore on the other hand is younger but has more injury history and is on a bad team with a new OC who wants to throw all the time. Gore may have more potential, but i think portis is much safer and almost guaranteed to get 1300 yds and 10-12 tds.

     

    i need some help too.

    keep welker. ricky has been smoking you know what for two years.

    also you could probably draft ricky much later in your draft. You might not be able to redraft welker, so if you keep welker there's a better chance you could end up getting both depending on how your draft works.
