Fantasy Football WK2 Defensive Lineman Oddsmaker

Using the Defensive Lineman Oddsmaker Tactical Tool

What was originally intended as a secondary tool for our Easy IDP Start/Sits Charts the Oddsmakers IDP Tactical Tool has proven to be a simplistic option for IDP owners. And the concept is basic rankings format on the odds each week a team’s designated unit can succeed in IDP production. So whether you’re visiting the Oddsmakers to decide between two players from the Start/Sits charts or looking for a general ranking, we’ve got fantasy football owners covered at Gridiron Ratings.

This particular Defensive Lineman IDP Oddsmaker covers all the general designated DL’s in fantasy football. This includes both the 3-4 and 4-3 defensive schemes used in the NFL. Which includes the defensive tackles and defensive end in both schemes.

The ranking and power score reflects the team’s position as a designated unit and the odds for their IDP success. And it’s based on the weekly matchup by applying a three-step formula that includes the opposing team’s statistics and trending data history.

This Means…

Depending on what team your player’s on will reflect the strength of the odds he’ll produce IDP points. And is indicated by the rank and power score based on his matchup pending his talent level.

Please Take Note!

The IDP Tactical Tools are normally apart of the Gridiron Ratings members-only Fantasy Football content. And access to the IDP Tactical Tools will be limited to just our members starting week four. This is right before the NFL bye-weeks. And also when fantasy football owners know that getting those starting lineups just right, really matters the most. It’s also at the point the current season’s information applied to the tool’s formula starts peaking in overall accuracy. Just some things that all owners using these tools should keep in mind early on in the season.

We are currently accepting members via the main menu’s login tab. So please consider checking out our reasonably priced membership levels when you have time. Because we are certainly looking forward to you joining the Gridiron Ratings Family today. And the opportunity to help assist in bringing those fantasy football championships home where they belong. – Thank You


Week 2

Oddsmaker: Defensive Lineman

DO NOT SIT KNOWN STUDS AND REACH FOR A HIGHER SCORED/RANKED LESS TALENTED PLAYER! THESE ARE MEANT TO SPLIT THE IDP HAIRS BETWEEN THE SAME TIERED TALENT FOR THOSE TOUGH CALLS AND BYE WEEK CALLS! WE SUGGEST REFERRING TO OUR EASY IDP START/SIT CHARTS IF NEEDING TO SPLIT THOSE IDP HAIRS EVEN FINER THAN THE ODDSMAKERS! ANY “REACHING” FALLS ON THE USER, NOT THE PUBLISHER!
REMEMBER THAT ALL IDP TACTICAL TOOLS NEED TO PRIME UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ALLOW THE NEW IN-SEASON STATISTICS AND TRENDS TO DEVELOP. AND ON AVERAGE THEY PEAK AROUND WEEK FOUR BASED ON THEIR PRIOR HISTORY. THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE SEASON THE FORMULAS ARE BASED OR PARTIALLY BASED ON THE PRIOR SEASON’S INFORMATION.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of the Fantasy Football Industry, we will only list two of the three things used in the Oddsmaker’s formula. One is the opposing team’s points allowed. And the other, of course, is our own Gridiron Ratings player ratings.
