When Should You Draft IDP? (Plus Our Favorite Values)

If you're new to IDP, it's tough to know when you should start drafting defensive players. This episode should help with that.

Up until this episode, we've talked about IDP only best ball. In this episode, Scott Soltis and Eric Harms are diving into combined best ball (offense + IDP) to answer the question that stumps so many folks who are new to IDP: when should you start drafting defensive players? Scott and Eric offer their opinion, share their strategies for both types of drafts, and finish the episode by pointing out some of the biggest values (and reaches) in the combined ADP.
