How to Value IDPs: Approaches for Drafts, Trades & Waiver Decisions
One of the hardest parts of IDP fantasy football isn't knowing who the good players are. It's knowing what they're worth relative to everyone else. In this episode of The IDP After Show, Scott Soltis (@ProfessorIDP) and Jake Kohlhagen (@LateRoundDB) break down six distinct approaches to IDP player valuation, covering the pros and cons of each and how to apply them in your drafts, trades, and waiver decisions. Whether you're a vibe-based drafter who trusts the eye test or a data-driven manager running VORP calculations in a spreadsheet, there's an approach here that fits your game (and probably a few others worth adding to your toolkit). 0:00 Cold open & intro 0:37 Jake & Scott check in: setting the stage 1:45 Approach 1: Vibe Valuation 6:43 Approach 2: Relying on Last Season's Points 10:47 Approach 3: Using ADP 22:53 Approach 4: Rankings + ADP Combined 28:47 Approach 5: VORP & Positional Scarcity 46:29 Approach 6: Trade Calculator & League-Specific Modeling 54:29 Up Next: 2026 All-Opportunity Team Key takeaways: elite DL is the clearest scarcity premium, LB13-36 is historically a flat drafting zone, DB is the deepest position and the best to delay, and falling ADP is not automatically a bargain.

D-UP Lessons: What We Got Right (And Wrong) in 2025
The Super Bowl is behind us, which means the 2026 NFL offseason is officially underway! While there are many things we are looking forward to, like free agency, the NFL draft, startup season, and then the redraft push, one of the highlights of IDP in 2025 was the D-UP contest by FastDraft. In this episode, hosts Scott Soltis and Jake Kohlhagen take a look back at D-UP 2025 with an eye towards this year’s contest. They share some observations from the inaugural year of this exciting product. Highlights include a discussion of the best configurations at the top of your drafts, whether we should interpret 2025 results with caution as we plan for 2026, the best slots to draft from, and whether young players (rookies and sophomores) are worth the risk in the D-UP format. The guys wrap up with some thoughts on what they hope to see in a 2026 version of the contest (and beyond). 0:00 Intro 4:41 Lesson #1: Nailing the top of the draft 11:13 Lesson #2: Scoring distribution 17:01 Lesson #3: Best spots to pick from 26:57 Lesson #4: Fading youth 34:53 Jake's wish for 2026 40:15 Scott's wish for 2026 Check out our free IDP trade calculator, powered by Adam's dynasty rankings: https://idptradecalculator.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel for our other shows, The IDP After Show and All IDP.

2025 IDP ADP Review: Hits and Misses
A new season of The IDP After Show is here, and hosts Jake Kohlhagen and Scott Soltis kick things off by looking back at 2025 ADP to uncover the lessons that will shape 2026 and beyond. In this episode, Jake and Scott break down where the IDP market got it right, where it missed badly, and which trends savvy managers can exploit moving forward. From safe bets like Kaden Elliss to breakout stars like Will Anderson Jr. and Brian Burns, to costly disappointments such as Frankie Luvu and Alex Singleton, the guys connect ADP to real results using Big 3 Scoring, snap data, and advanced metrics. They also dig into one of the biggest offseason questions: Should we still draft linebackers early—or is it time to hammer elite defensive linemen first?
