2017 PSDG: Mastermind IDP Sleepers, Creepers, & Impact Rookies (Preview)
Steve Yerger - 8/24/2017

Let’s look at some sleepers, creepers and impact rookies for Individual Defensive Players (IDPs). The following sleepers are players at DL, LB, and DB that you can pick up later in your draft who have a very good chance of outperforming their current ranking. Creepers are players that will be drafted much too early and are likely to disappoint. The impact rookies are self-explanatory, but you should use caution, as these guys have more value in dynasty league drafts.

Testimonials

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."

"You already know the quality of the information available on this site, but Mike also responds immediately to customer issues. I did something to mess up my log in to the site and was unable to access it. One call to FFMastermind (Mike personally handled the issue) and things were cleared up and I was back in immediately."
-- Tony Schnocky

"Well worth the $60 to 'buy" myself another fantasy championship. If only my competitors knew my secret!"
-- Billy Millen

"Thanks a ton for all your work on IDP information and analysis - very grateful as I am just leaving for the draft now. That's why FFMastermind blows all others services away."
-- Steve Ward

"After being cheap for a couple seasons - and having the results to show for it - I subscribed again last year and promptly won my league. You guys do an excellent job. I love the Tiering approach - it really makes it easier to figure out the best way to make good value picks."
-- Brian Hammond
