Week 11 IDP Rankings: Defensive Backs

Last week, I led off the column by stating that DB rankings are the toughest of any IDP position. Well -- Week 10 was a perfect example. Of the 13 top scoring DBs in Week 10, only two were owned in my 12-team IDP experts league (commished by Jamey Eisenberg at CBS Sports). Other than Kelvin Hayden (owned by KFFL's Bryce...

Week 10 IDP Rankings: Defensive Backs
