Fantasy Football 2012, Week 11: IDP rankings for linebackers, DLs and DBs

We talk about trading some IDP guys away to help your offensive side.

Jeremy Brevard-US PRESSWIRE

It's time for more talk about your fantasy league's upcoming trade deadline. Chances are that since you've taken the time to check out rankings and about players that are making noise like Bruce Carter, your IDP is pretty stacked.

Savvy owners can use their stacked IDP to their advantage. It really depends on how competitive your league is, though. If your league is competitive and all the Mike backers are owned, then you really can’t throw your weight around. However, if guys like Brad Jones are sitting around on your wire, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to trade some of your guys to get some offensive help. Always prey on the weaker teams first, especially for those that need some help to get into the playoffs.
