Fantasy Football IDP Rankings & Tiers (2026)

Bogman’s Fantasy Football IDP Rankings & Tiers

Below are the full fantasy football IDP rankings for the 2026 season, broken into tiers. Each tier represents a group of players I consider roughly comparable in value. Use the tier breaks to guide where you target IDP scoring at your draft, since a small gap inside a tier matters less than a jump across a tier line.

How to use these tiers: Treat each tier as a cluster of similar value. If your IDP scoring rewards big plays and tackles for loss heavily, lean toward edge defenders inside a tier. If your league rewards solo tackles and volume, prioritize the linebackers and safeties listed in that same tier. Good luck this season.
