We are on Yahoo and are considering adding IDPs to our fantasy league. I have never done an IDP league before so I did some research on the default scoring and how last season looked. For those who are IDP veterans, do you mind reading my analysis and see if I missed anything or if there are other concerns we should be thinking of? How do you do your scoring?
Considering IDP in 2023? Here is the analysis I posted to my league.

My main league is entering it's 5th year of IDP scoring, and I've been loving it and am probably the main proponent for it. Like you proposed, my league began with a single IDP Flex position and we steadily grew to now having a DL, LB, DB & IDP Flex positions on our team (We use Sleeper which doesn't differentiate between DE & DT, ILB & OLB, or CB & S).
I can't recall our initial scoring settings when it was a singular IDP flex position, however I recall that during both our first season with the single IDP & our second year with 4 IDP positions, we had to have emergency league meetings to change the scoring system because there were players racking up 30-50 points a week. Again, we use Sleeper, so some of these options may not be available for you. Currently our IDP Scoring format is as follows:
•IDP TD=6
•Sack=6
•Hit on QB=0.2
•Tackle=0
•Solo Tackle=1
•Assisted Tackle=0.5
•Tackle For Loss=1
•Blocked Punt, PAT or FG=5
•Interception=6
•Int Return Yards= 1 point every 10 yards
•Forced Fumble=3
•Fumble Recovery=(+0.10 per yard)
•Safety=6
•Pass Defended=3
•10+ Tackle Bonus=3
•2+ Sack Bonus=3
Looking at it now, there are a couple changes I'd like to make, but right now it's weighted to provide an equal opportunity to each of the 3 sections of the defense.
