Episodes
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.
This is the final episode of IDP...

One of the tenets of IDP best ball is player exposure: how many shares of an IDP you have across all your drafts. You have to carefully manage that exposure so that your teams aren't sunk if a player under-performs or gets hurt; but on the flip side, you want to be overweight on the studs who will leagues in the upcoming season. In this episode, Evan Ringler and Jackson Schwam interrogate their player exposures to understand why they keep drafting certain IDPs.

While our knowledge of IDP best ball in general and roster construction specifically is still evolving, it's important to react according to the data we have right now. For this conversation, Josh Raymer brings on David Kelly, author of the two best articles on IDP best ball roster...

Understanding ADP is critical to success in IDP best ball, especially when it comes to players who are being over-drafted. In this episode of IDP Drafts, Josh Raymer is joined by Professor IDP himself, Scott Soltis, to look at 4 IDPs that Scott is fading in drafts -- and who he's taking instead.
