## Resource

In this special episode of IDP Drafts, Josh stops by to discuss his favorite format of fantasy football: NFL playoff fantasy! Part fantasy, part survivor pool, this format rewards drafters who pick players from teams that advance the furthest in the playoffs, making rankings tricky by the strategy clear: you need to pick winners. In this episode, Josh lays out the rationale behind his IDP playoff rankings and explains how he'll approach drafting defensive players in his league, especially given that this year's field feels more wide open.
