Before we turn the page to the 2026 rookie class, let's put a bow on the 2025 class with one of our favorite exercises: a rookie redraft! In a 1 QB, full IDP, non-TE premium format, Adam, Bobby, and Josh go three rounds taking turns selecting members of last year's class.

Does Ashton Jeanty still go 1.01? Where does Travis Hunter fall to? How many IDPs sneak into the first round? Where is the talent cliff in this group? All those questions—and much, much more—are answered on this fun installment of The IDP Show.

One of the best ways to understand an entire season from a fantasy perspective is splits: how a player started the year versus how they finished. With all the data at his fingertips, Adam pulled 31 of the most interesting splits he could find from IDPs in the 2025 season. In this episode, we dug into those numbers to try and find the truth.

Are we panicking on IDPs who cooled off in the back half of the season (e.g. Tykee Smith), and are we buying the hype of players who ended the season on fire (e.g. James Pearce Jr.)? That's the goal of this episode—as we spin ahead to 2026, what can we learn from 2025 to inform our decisions?
