Fantasy Football Week 7 IDP rankings (GETTY)

IDP leagues are less common in fantasy football, but they add a unique twist to traditional DST formats. Rather than having a full NFL team's defensive unit, managers get to use individual defensive players in their weekly lineups. Similar to offensive positions, their recent performances and weekly matchups play a major role in their overall value. Here are the top IDP options in Week 7.
