Fantasy Football 2011: Week 4 IDP Rest of the Season Rankings

by MikeGallagher on Sep 27, 2011 8:53 PM EDT in 2011 Fantasy Football Position Rankings

Everybody loves rankings. In the spirit of the rest-of-the-season rankings for offensive guys, let's just go ahead and do the same for the guys on the other side of the ball. These rankings will basically serve as a cheat sheet for IDP owners. I placed green arrows on the guys that entered the top 75 following strong performances last week. They would have been the main guys in the weekly IDP Waiver Wire column.

If you can't get enough of IDP or fantasy football in general, you can follow me for all sorts of updates and instant analysis on Twitter. Especially on Sundays!
