Well, let me tell ya, this “IDP fantasy football,” sounds like a whole lotta fuss! Folks these days, always makin’ things complicated. But from what I gather, it ain’t that hard to understand once you get the hang of it.
So, what in the tarnation is this IDP thing anyway?
From what them young’uns told me, IDP stands for “Individual Defensive Players.” Now, in regular football, you just pick a whole dang defense, like the “Steelers” or the “Packers,” and hope they do good. But with this IDP stuff, you’re pickin’ individual players, ya know, like the fellas who do all the tacklin’ and sackin’. It’s like pickin’ your quarterback, but for the defense.
Why would anyone wanna do that?
Well, I guess it makes things more excitin’. Instead of just hopin’ the whole defense plays good, you gotta watch each player and see how many tackles they make, or if they get a sack. It’s like countin’ how many eggs your chickens lay, but with football players. More tackles, more points, simple as that.
How do you score points in this IDP thingamajig?
Now, this is where it gets a little tricky, but not too tricky for an old gal like me. They got all sorts of ways to score points. Tackles, that’s the big one. When a player tackles someone, they get points. Sacks, that’s when they tackle the quarterback behind the line, those are worth even more points. Then there’s interceptions, when they catch the ball, and fumbles, when the other team drops the ball. They even get points for blockin’ kicks! It’s like gettin’ extra credit for doin’ good chores.
- Tackles: Just like grabbin’ a runaway pig, but with a football player.
- Sacks: Like catchin’ the rooster before he crows, but way more important.
- Interceptions: Stealin’ the pie right off the windowsill, but legal-like.
- Fumbles: Droppin’ the egg basket, but the other team does it.
- Blocked Kicks: Stoppin’ the rooster from crowin’ right in its tracks.
What kinda players do you pick in IDP?
Well, they got these fellas they call “defensive linemen,” the big guys up front. Then there’s the “linebackers,” they run around and tackle everyone. And lastly, you got your “defensive backs,” they cover the receivers and try to intercept the ball. It’s like pickin’ different kinds of vegetables for your garden, each one does somethin’ different. You need a good mix to have a strong team. You can’t just have all potatoes, ya need some tomatoes and beans too.
Is this IDP stuff better than regular fantasy football?
Well, that depends on what you like. If you like keepin’ track of a whole bunch of players and really gettin’ into the nitty-gritty of defense, then maybe IDP is for you. But if you just wanna watch the game and cheer for your team, then maybe stick to the regular way. It’s like bakin’ a pie, some folks like to make their own crust from scratch, and some folks just buy the ready-made one from the store. Both ways get you a pie in the end.
Where do you even play this IDP fantasy football?
Now, this I don’t know much about. Them young’uns do it all on their fancy phones and computers these days. They say there’s websites and apps for it. Sounds complicated to me. I’d rather just watch the game on the TV with a good cup of coffee. But hey, if it gets folks excited about football, then more power to ’em.
So, in a nutshell, this IDP fantasy football is just a different way to play fantasy football. Instead of pickin’ a whole defense, you pick individual defensive players, and you get points for all the stuff they do on the field. It sounds like a lot of work, but some folks seem to really enjoy it. Me? I’ll stick to watchin’ the real games and cheerin’ for my team. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ new and excitin’, then maybe give this IDP thing a try. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if your linebacker has a bad game!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens. They’re probably wonderin’ where I am.
