Question 1

What is IDPEdge?

Accepted Answer

IDPEdge is a community-powered dynasty trade value tool built exclusively for IDP (Individual Defensive Player) fantasy football. Unlike other tools, IDPEdge covers all five defensive positions: EDGE rushers, linebackers, defensive tackles, cornerbacks, and safeties.

Question 2

How are IDP dynasty trade values calculated on IDPEdge?

Accepted Answer

IDPEdge trade values are determined by community voting. Users vote head-to-head on which player they would rather have in a dynasty league. An Elo-based scoring system converts these votes into trade values on a 300–9992 scale, matching the KTC value curve used across the fantasy community.

Question 3

What IDP positions does IDPEdge cover?

Accepted Answer

IDPEdge covers all five major IDP positions: EDGE rushers (pass rushers and 4-3 defensive ends), linebackers (ILB and OLB), defensive tackles (1-tech and 3-tech), cornerbacks, and safeties (free safety, strong safety, and nickel).

Question 4

How does the IDPEdge trade calculator work?

Accepted Answer

The IDPEdge trade calculator uses a non-linear value model where having the best player in a trade matters more than raw point totals. When trading multiple players for one, the second and third players on the larger side receive diminishing returns — reflecting the real dynasty principle that elite players are worth more than the sum of their parts.

Question 5

Are draft picks included in IDPEdge trade values?

Accepted Answer

Yes. IDPEdge includes specific draft picks (1.01 through 5.12) and general pick ranges (Early, Mid, Late) for the next three draft years. Future picks are discounted 15% per year to reflect the uncertainty of not knowing the pick's slot.
