Rookie,

If your scoring system gives at least a point per tackle, good LBs (especially MLBs or ILBs) are usually the higher scorers.

If you score a lot of points for sacks or turnovers, DBs and DLs are relatively higher. Hopefully, your league is the former, rather than the latter.

Congratulations on joining a serious league. Playing with IDPs beats defensive teams any day of the week (and twice on Sunday).

How is it that New Orleans is facing the Lions with a rookie QB and there are no Saints linemen?

First time in an IDP league, which of hte 3 positions would get me most points on average??

Ndukwe and S. Jones? Really?
I guess you are counting on the starting safety for those teams getting hurt?
Where are Elam, Butler, Leonhard and Branch? All SS actually starting for their teams?

Where are the returner rankings?

How can you not have Saftey Abram Elam on your DB list when he is the starting SS for a CLEV team that will be run on and passed on all day by Minn??
