Fantasy Football 2013: Top IDP Defensive Ends

eDraft checked in on the top IDP rookies over the weekend. Today's article is going to give you a look at the best IDP defensive ends in fantasy football heading into the 2013 season. 

Most owners in IDP leagues tend to value defensive linemen less than linebackers and even some safeties. Though, its' important to note that defensive ends help your fantasy team more than interior defensive linemen. There are few elite players at this position, but it's rather deep. This means that you can find value relatively late in deeper drafts. 

Let's take a look
