How long do most IDP players retain their value, considering how much of their production is scheme/personnel-dependent?
I'm playing in a 40-player contract dynasty league with 5 IDP starters (2 DL/LB, 2 DB, 1 flex), but in this league, there is *no* waiver wire and you are only allowed to drop a maximum of 10 players from year to year, with a salary cap penalty based on the number of years left on their contract if it has not yet expired (it is otherwise automatically renewed with an increased salary based on previous year's production unless chosen as one of the drops for the year). If it matters, scoring is more tackle heavy (1/tackle, 0.5/assist, 4/sack, 5/INT, 2/deflection, 3/FF, 3/FR). Contracts are for 3 years for rookies, and 1-5 years for anyone purchased in the free agent auction, but because of the unique league variables, there's a significant advantage not to retain players past their window of usefulness.
One of the podcasts I listened to recently suggested that DB's are likely to retain their value for only 2 years. Is this likely to hold true for all IDP positions? Or are some positions (particularly ILB) more resistant to scheme change at the top tiers?
Last year was my first IDP experience, and I'd like to go into this year's draft and auction with a little more knowledge than I did last year.
