## IDP is the harder game
Most fantasy owners only watch the offense. IDP players track all 22, which doubles the fun and doubles the work.

> IDP owners have to focus on every player on the field.
## Good luck finding intel
Defensive news moves slower and gets covered less than the offensive side, so weekly IDP rankings do real work.

> It's also twice as hard to get information for IDP leagues.
## Garrett hits injured reserve
Myles Garrett had arthroscopic knee surgery this week and landed on IR. He will miss at least four games for the Rams.

> Rams DE Myles Garrett to undergo knee surgery, headed to injured reserve.
## He already burned you
Garrett put up zero points in Week 1, so his owners took the goose egg and then lost him for a month on top of it.
## Stop trying to replace him
The most valuable IDP asset in the game has no equivalent on waivers. Find someone serviceable enough to keep you afloat for four weeks.

> While you can't replace him, you can likely find someone on your waiver wire who can be serviceable enough.
## Jordyn Brooks stays LB1
The Dolphins linebacker is a tackling machine on a defense that will see run after run, partly because Ashton Jeanty already gashed them in Week 1.

> Brooks remains at the top of our linebacker rankings.
## Losing badly helps Brooks
Miami looks headed for the first overall pick. Trailing teams eat clock-killing runs, and a run-stopper feasts on those snaps.

> We fully expect the Dolphins to be in the running for the first-overall pick this season.
## Watch Kam Curl all week
With Curl banged up, Quentin Lake slid to safety for 10 tackles and Kam Kinchens added nine. Curl's status swings all three values for Week 2.

> His status will have a massive impact this week.
## Key takeaway

Garrett is gone for at least four games, so stop chasing a replacement and grab a steady tackler off waivers while you wait.
