Week 4 IDP Superflex Start/Sit: DL, LB, DB
Players whose week outranks their season, and the ones whose season outranks their week. Each call compares a player's positional rank on this week's board with his rest-of-season rank from the LeagueFrenzy value engine, 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.
How a call is made
A call compares a player's positional rank this week with his rest-of-season positional rank, both ranked by projected points over replacement with preseason ADP not blended in, and both counted among the players eligible for a call this week — so in a bye week his rest-of-season rank here can be better than on the rest-of-season page. Start: at least 5 spots better this week, and above this week's replacement level. Sit: at least 5 spots worse this week, normally a starter, and below this week's replacement level. Players on bye, ruled out this week, or without per-game projections (typically rookies) get no call.
