If you only want to keep it 15%, you sure as fuck should just do defense and special teams. Good IDP is 50/50 when you have a good offensive week 60/40 and vice versa for defensively. Your complaint comes from being unpredictable but doing a big bonus points dl only seems to be the most unpredictable way to do it. Im not telling you what to do, but ive given you a blueprint for how to make it an even game between the offense and defense. As for not knowing the players, who fucking cares. Just like offense, learn their numbers. The more you play with different people, the more familiar you get.

And ill say this with utmost confidence, you want them to score less, then make it so they score less. We did 1.5 and .75 per tckle and assist last year with big plays being worth about 4 points. it kept all the backers in the 12-18 range, dbs in the 9-16 and dl in the 0-10, unless you are jj watt.

if you do only defensive lineman, youre going to short yourself. Go against the trend and make it good.(Not great. ha political satire) I promise once you get the hang of having it down, youll bitch that more sites arent dedicated to idp and are stuck with these guys and fantasy sharks as youre source of info.

First year i did my league, which was six years ago, Everyone knew what we were doing but i got alot of flack cuz who the fuck cares about defense. A few joined other leagues this year for the first time and laugh at the d/st cuz of how archaic it is. One is in a league that has 2 idp and a d/st. You wanted help with a good setup. simply change the stats to score a little lower and you have your league. tell em to deal with it.

and my draft is for 24 roster slots. 8 offense. 8 defense. 8 bench spots. we have 3 keepers yearly so 21 rd draft. it takes a little longer, but its fun. especially when defense and offense are on even keel. Taking a linebacker in rd seemed ridiculous three years ago. Now its common place. GOod luck with your endeavor man. hope it goes well
