Combined IDP + offense dynasty rankings are one of the holy grails of IDP fantasy football, and, all too often, they are single-source, underspeccified, and/or feel completely detached from reality. The rankings below aim to address these issues and provide you with actionable insights to help with your startups, keepers, trades, and more as you navigate the sometimes complex IDP landscape. Here is what our rankings are and how they are different:

Informed by consensus: We start with the best-in-the-industry dynasty IDP rankings from Adam Marcum and Jon Macri. On the offensive side, we rely on the industry leader in consensus dynasty offensive rankings with FantasyPros ECR, powered by over 20 industry experts.

Driven by market data: The biggest challenge with combined rankings is evaluating offensive players vs. IDPs. We have taken the guesswork out of this process by leveraging data from 52 recent Sleeper startup IDP drafts that most align with the most commonly identified league settings from past State of IDP reports: Sleeper positional formats, 12 teams, 15-22 total starters, 40-60% of starters are IDP, superflex, non-devy.

Clearly explained: We combine these two elements to see how drafts have played out by position, but then substitute in who the best player available at that position actually was based on consensus rankings. For example, Puka Nakua is being drafted as WR2 with an ADP of 6.32, but the consensus WR2 is Jaxson Smith-Njigba. We therefore assign JSN the slot in our ADP rankings that Nakua initially held. As an IDP example, Micah Parsons is being drafted at DL002 with an ADP of 91.30, but our consensus rankings have Will Anderson as DL002, and so he takes that spot in ADP. Once we know how all the positions tend to be drafted in these recent startups, we simply plug in who should have been the pick, rather than who was, to generate the rankings you see below.

The plan for these rankings is to be updated monthly. The ADP will settle once we add more leagues and the startup season ends, but a monthly update lets us respond to changes in individual consensus rankings to help you with your off- and in-season roster decisions.

Note: these free consensus rankings include only the first 250 players. For access to the full 700+ player rankings, you must be a paid subscriber.
