2014 IDP Points Allowed By Position (Through Week 17)

Knowing which teams give up the most fantasy points to a certain defensive position is vital to the long-term success of any IDP owner. Having this type of information will allow you to make those tough weekly lineup decisions as well as spot key weekly waiver wire pickups throughout the season.

This article will be updated each week to reflect the average total points allowed by each NFL team to Defensive Linemen, Linebackers, and Defensive Backs up until that particular point in the season. To start the 2014 season, these stats will be based upon 2013 points allowed. Starting at the beginning of Week 2, we will begin revising this document with up-to-date 2014 statistics.

The chart below was generated using the following IDP scoring system:

Solo Tackle = 1.5 pts
Assist = 0.75 pts
Sack = 4 pts
FF = 4 pts
FR = 3 pts
INT = 6 pts
PD = 1.5 pts
Defensive TD = 6 pts
