I use balanced scoring (1 point per tackle, 3 per sack) as my “standard,” and I consider 3.0 points a hit for defensive linemen (DL) and defensive backs (DB) with 5.0 points a hit for linebackers (LB).

I value your IDP teams as much as I value my own, so I want to remain accountable to you all in my advice. I provide a weekly recap of my previous recommendations and a running tally of my hits and misses in this column. How did we do in Week 1?
