Do I roll the dice with Kerry Rhodes (home division gm vs. SEA albeit injured wrist) or go pick-up & start Q. Mikell (@ WAS) or B. Dawkins (KC). Simple scoring for DBs: INTs = 5 pts TACKLE = 1 pt Pass Def = 2 pts Sack= 5 pts Asst. Tack = .5 If I drop Rhodes I can't pick him up for 2 weeks. Thoughts? Ray

Robert Mathis @ WAS or Osi U. vs. DET? Gotta start one DL. Scoring is 5 pts/sack,1 pt/tackle, .5 pt/assist tackle, 2 pt/pass defensed, 1 pt/forced fumble or fumble recovery. I'm thinking Mathis b/c at least he gets tackles and he's due and it's the Redskins for gods sake. Osi is feast or famine with fewer tackle opportunities but he could also get 3 sacks home against Shaun Hill.

Over Mayo (plays BAL) too?

Need to start 1,which one? Urlacher, Derrick Johnson or Cushing. Cushing has a knee but is probable, Urlacher's giving it a go in Chicago w/o Briggs against Seattle (now has Marshawn Lynch) and Cushing is already listed in the injury report and plays HOU. 1 pt per tackle, half pt per assisted tackle, 3 pts per sack, 5 per INT, 1 for pass defensed, FF or FR. Thanks, Ray

New IDP inclusion in my league - 2 starters each week, any IDP position. 1 pt/tackle, 5 for INTs, 6 for TDs, 3 for sack, fumble forced or recovered 1 pt, the basics. I drafted D. Ryans (HOU), E. Sims (DET) and J. Vilma (NOR). I only need to start two but there are so many others out there to pick up in their place. Should I drop Vilma and pick up any of these free agents instead? - B. Rudd (TB) - K. Rivers (CIN) - Posluszny (BUF) - M Williams (HOU) - K. Wimbley (CLE) - DJ Wiliams (DEN) - Keiaho (IND) - M. Peterson (JAX) I know these are quality guys, but in a 12-team league, only about 25 players were taken off the board. Should I dump Vilma or Sims for any of these guys in their place? I'm only going to carry 3 IDPs max all year and obviously Ryans is mainstay. How "consistent" are IDPs from year to year? Is it pretty chalk when using theHuddle's IDP rankings?

I too am just starting to add IDP to our 18-year league, and I'm the "conservative" commish but couldn't resist the lure and intrigue of having 2 starting IDPs each week (at any position - LB, DB, DL). I too wanted the scoring to be in the range of a TE/PK/DEF-ST so I devised this scoring, after researching around the web and consulting some other IDP writers for other sites. This is what I came up with. Still favors LBs, but projected scores using our scoring system puts IDPs in between TEs and PKs/DEF, so I think it looks good. Tacke = 1 pt each Assisted tackles = .5 each Sack = 3 pts Half sack = 1.5 pt (obviously - half a sack) INT = 5 pts Safety = 5 Pass Defensed = 2 Blocked kicks = 5 Forced fumble = 1 Fumble recovery = 1 TD = 6 (for any type of TD) Hope this helps.

What are the Huddle's IDP rankings based on - what kind of scoring system?
