The Footballguys IDP Matchup Spreadsheet tracks trends around the league to help evaluate IDP matchups.

You can find the Microsoft Excel tool HERE

SCHEDULE TAB

I left the playoff teams for this year but normally this tab will allow you to make some quick evaluations of the matchups each week.

STAT CREW GRADES

This tab keeps track of tendencies for each stat crew. Each home stadium typically has its own group of stat keepers responsible for assigning tackle details (solo vs solo/assist vs assist/assist) on each play. The table at the top keeps track of Tackles vs Opportunity and compares total tackles awarded (solos plus assists) divided by tackle opportunities (rush attempts plus pass completions plus sacks). This gives you an idea of which crews tend to be more generous or less generous in comparison to everybody else.

There are some crews at the top where you can likely expect more tackles to be awarded on average for each opportunity. These are stadiums that you may want to focus on with some of your IDP matchups, as they will tend to inflate the number of IDPs who are involved in each play.

Hopefully, this helps give you some useful information. Please reach out with any questions or feedback.
