Redraft Fantasy Football IDP Advice | Draft Sharks

Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football.

You'll have to draft -- and start -- defensive players into your lineup. We have the IDP tips and strategies to turn this unique format into a competitive advantage for you.
