Week 4–18 IDP Rest-of-Season Rankings
The top 50 players, ranked by what the LeagueFrenzy value engine projects each is worth over replacement for the games left in the regular season — not the season already played. Rebuilt every Tuesday and Thursday.
Why IDP lists move more than offense lists
This board scores defenders on a tackle-heavy baseline: solo and assisted tackles pay, so every-down linebackers and high-volume safeties rank far higher here than on an offense-only board. In a big-play league, where sacks, turnovers and passes defended carry the score, edge rushers and ball-hawk defensive backs climb and pure tackle volume cools off. The same player can be a must-start in one family and a bench piece in the other — see the three IDP scoring families and the IDP cheat sheet.
This board ranks defenders alongside offense, so quarterbacks and skill players hold most of the top spots; the first defender here is No. 29. For defenders only, see the IDP waiver wire and IDP start/sit calls.
How these are ranked
Ranked by projected points over replacement for the remaining weeks only. Preseason ADP is not blended into these ranks.
Weeks 4–18 · 14 games. Points and VORP count those games only, not season totals.
GRID: summed from the player's remaining per-game projections. SEASON_UNIFORM: no per-game projections exist for this player (typically a rookie), so the figure is an even per-game share of his season projection; a player with no projection history at all gets his position's typical line for his draft-market standing.
