One of the best ways to understand an entire season from a fantasy perspective is splits: how a player started the year versus how they finished. With all the data at his fingertips, Adam pulled 31 of the most interesting splits he could find from IDPs in the 2025 season. In this episode, we dug into those numbers to try and find the truth.

Are we panicking on IDPs who cooled off in the back half of the season (e.g. Tykee Smith), and are we buying the hype of players who ended the season on fire (e.g. James Pearce Jr.)? That's the goal of this episode—as we spin ahead to 2026, what can we learn from 2025 to inform our decisions?

Week 16 is in the books, which means championship week is here! Before then, let's talk about what happened this past week with our favorite IDPs.

Another week, another massive injury for dynasty IDP managers. This time, it was Green Bay star edge rusher Micah Parsons tearing his ACL. Parsons joins Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Brian Branch, and other IDP stalwarts who've been lost for the 2025 season due to injury. Adam, Bobby, and Josh discuss Parsons' dynasty value in light of the injury, then recap all the notable developments at LB, DL, and DB in Week 15.

This offseason, if you'd gone with an LB room of all Devins—White, Lloyd, and Bush—just for the LOLs and the memes, you'd have a playoff-worthy group right now, as all three guys are averaging above 14 PPG. Welcome to the LB position (and IDP for that matter) in 2025! Josh and Adam reunite in the Sode Shack for a celebration of all things Devin, show some love to young safeties who are balling out, calibrate Myles Garrett's sack odds, pour one out for Brian Branch, and much more.

If ever a player deserved their name up in lights for a second time during the same season, it's Myles Garrett, who is now just 5 sacks away from breaking the single-season record after a 3-sack performance against Las Vegas on Sunday. Josh, Adam, and Bobby discuss Garrett's trade value, volatility with the LB position, DBs surging down the stretch, and some splits between Weeks 1-6 and 7-12 that paint a better picture of this season for IDP.

While the DB position has mainly been a bummer this year, it was nice to be reminded in Week 11 of just how good Kyle Hamilton can be. K-Ham is the headliner but Josh, Adam, and Bobby have a ton more to discuss in their Week 11 recap, including two studs from the team the Ravens beat, some LB injuries to keep an eye on, Daiyan Henley's poor play, the Sweaty Boyz, the rise of Cole Bishop, and much more.
