Individual defensive player (IDP) leagues have become increasingly popular, and About Football has all the top defensive players ranked for the fantasy football season. The overall IDP rankings are based on where players should come off the board during your draft.
The rankings are also based on a common point system of:
Solo Tackle = 1 point
Sack = 3 points
Interception = 5 points
Touchdown = 6 points
