Listen to the latest episode of the Big Nickel IDP Podcast starring Jon Macri (@PFF_Macri), Johny the Greek (@Orangeman3142), and Mike Woellert (@Mike_Woellert) as they go over all 32 NFL teams and their IDPs to help you figure out which IDPs you can trust in the fantasy playoffs, and which ones to avoid.

Part of that episode was rankings for the most friendly remaining schedules for each team at all IDP position groups. Essentially, positive run schedules for our IDP linebackers, positive passing opponents for our DBs and pass rushers, and the most positive offensive line advantages for our defensive linemen.

So, it’s a cumulative ranking for each team based on their Week 15-17 opponents. It’s fairly basic and by no means a set-in-stone rule to follow, but just another helpful tool to improve your chances of taking home a championship in 2021.
