In fantasy football, defensive backs are the easiest part of IDP by a country mile. There are at least five DBs on almost every snap, making them abundant and easy to add off the wire, even in the deepest leagues. Only six of the Top-24 scoring DBs were CBs in 2025 and 2024. Safeties get more tackles and chances at the ball by playing in traffic, and in doing so, they get more chances for points. CBs are a little trickier; what we are looking for are targets against.

The defensive line in IDP fantasy football compares well to RBs on the offensive side. There is rotation for most, but the best stay on the field a lot. There are two primaries for most teams at EDGE and maybe one at DT/IDL. I won’t go into this level of detail for LBs or DL because the starters tend to play all or most of the snaps. The DL can be frustrating because most are boom-or-bust plays that can leave us with nothing in some weeks.

MyFantasyLeague (MFL) is one of many go-to platforms for fantasy football players to host leagues and compete against their league mates. The platform hosts all types of leagues, from dynasty to redraft. More importantly, it houses all internal average draft position (ADP) data, which makes it easier to spot overvalued and undervalued players.
