COMMENTS
  Darius Leonard, IND: He's the top dog in IDP, but there are a few guys who could challenge in 2021
  Devin White, TB: White earns a spot in the top tier and seems poised for greatness in the NFL.
  Roquan Smith, CHI: There's not a thing he doesn't do well. Smith racks up numbers and just needs to stay healthy.
  Bobby Wagner, SEA: An all-time great MLB, Wagner is still an All-Pro with 100+ solo upside.
  Blake Martinez, NYG: I love what he does on a weekly basis for IDP lineups. Steady and talented.
  Zach Cunningham, HOU: Cunningham took a big step forward last year and is among the best ILBs in football.
  Fred Warner, SF: He's been a pleasant surprise for San Francisco. Can he keep it up?
  Jerome Baker, MIA: Impressive last season, Baker could be the breakout star in IDP 2021.

  Joe Schobert, PIT: He should post the best tackle numbers for the Jags in 2021.
  Patrick Queen, BAL: A great rookie season and numbers that should get even better this year.
  DeMario Davis, NO: Solid vet with upside in the tank.
  Tremaine Edmunds, BUF: There's more competition for tackles now, but Edmunds is a sharp defender with upside.
  C.J. Mosley, NYJ: Can he regain some of the greatness he flashed for the Ravens? The Jets organization is not as good as Baltimore's.
  Eric Kendricks, MIN: Kendricks is good for 6-8 solo tackles every week and some junk points. Bank it.
  Deion Jones, ATL: Jones is another guy who gets lost in the IDP shuffle, but he's steady and gets his 8-10 total tackles every game.
  Lavonte David, TB: Getting older but still posting tackles alongside Devin White.
  Jamie Collins, DET: Mainly an OLB but still a run-stopper.
  Jayon Brown, TEN: A special defensive player who has overachieved thus far in his career.
  Khalil Mack, CHI: Look for a rebound in 2021 from this talented pass rusher.
  Alexander Johnson, DEN: A solid tackler who became a household IDP name last year.
Nick Kwiatkoski, LV: Emerged as a great IDP option in 2020, but Las Vegas does weird stuff with LBs.
  Anthony Walker Jr., CLE: Played second fiddle in Indy but he should be the man in Cleveland.
  Keanu Neal, DAL: He'll play some LB and should post excellent tackle numbers and some decent junk points.
  Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, CLE: A rookie with plenty to prove, JOK ain't no joke.
  T.J. Watt, PIT: If he's healthy in 2020, the sky's the limit. Sack totals drive the value.
  Jaylon Smith, DAL: He's risky with the new addition in Dallas and a healthy Leighton Van Der Esch.
