Fantasy: Wild Card Playoffs - IDP Projections/Rankings

Players are sorted by rank based on the PFF IDP scoring system in the second to last column. Touchdowns, fumble recoveries, safeties, and blocked kicks are considered random (non-skilled) and are not projected.

Solo Tackles (Tks) – 1 pt
Assisted Tackles (Asst) – .5 pts
Sacks (Sks) – 4 pts
Tackles for a Loss (TL) – 3 pts
Interceptions (Int) – 6 pts
Pass Defensed (PD) – 1 pt
Forced Fumble (FF) – 4 pts

The last column is projections for tackle-heavy formats (TH). These projected points use the following scoring system:

Solo Tackles (Tks) – 1.5 pt
Assisted Tackles (Asst) – .75 pts
Sacks (Sks) – 2 pts
Tackles for a Loss (TL) – 1 pts
Interceptions (Int) – 3 pts
Pass Defensed (PD) – 1 pt
Forced Fumble (FF) – 2 pts
