2026 IDP fantasy points leaders
Every defensive lineman, linebacker and defensive back who has shown up in a box score this season, ranked by fantasy points — in the three common IDP formats or in your league's own values, as a season total or per game.
IDP points through Week 10
In Standard IDP scoring the lead belongs to Arvell Reese (NYG LB, 85.00), Alex Singleton (DEN LB, 83.00) and Nakobe Dean (LV LB, 82.50); the top DL is Jeffery Simmons (CHI DT, 58.00) and the top DB is Evan Williams (GB SAF, 78.00). Change the group, the scoring or the sort below — or type in your league's values.
Through Week 10, stats as of (nflverse). ARI, ATL, BAL, BUF, CAR, CIN, CLE, DAL, DET, GB, HOU, IND, JAX, KC, LAC, LAR, LV, MIA, MIN, NE, NO, NYJ, PIT, SEA, SF and TEN have not played Week 10 yet, so their defenders are a game short until the next refresh. On bye in Week 10: CHI, DEN, PHI and TB.
Your league’s scoringStandard
Type your league’s value for each stat and the board re-ranks as you go. The three presets are the IDP calculator’s, and none of them scores tackles for loss or QB hits — add those here if your league does.

How the points are scored
IDP scoring is a straight weighted sum: every tackle, sack and turnover pays a flat rate, and the rates are what differ between leagues. The three presets are the ones the free IDP points calculator uses, value for value, so a player's total here is the number the calculator gives for the same line.
Tackles for loss and QB hits are in the box score but none of the presets scores them. If your league does, open “Your league's scoring” above and give them a value — the board re-ranks as you type, and the address bar keeps your table so you can share it.
Swipe for the Big-play column
| Stat | Standard | IDP-heavy | Big-play |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo tackle | 1 | 1.5 | 1 |
| Assisted tackle | 0.5 | 0.75 | 0.5 |
| Tackle for loss | — | — | — |
| Sack | 2 | 4 | 3 |
| QB hit | — | — | — |
| Interception | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Pass defended | 1 | 1.5 | 2 |
| Forced fumble | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Fumble recovery | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Defensive TD | 6 | 6 | 8 |
| Safety | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Blocked kick | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Per game divides the total by games played. Min games applies to both sorts and starts at 5, half the weeks played so far, so one big afternoon does not top the list.
Positions, games and who is listed
Positions are nflverse's, not your platform's. DL, LB and DB are nflverse's position groups, and the label under each name (DE, DT, OLB, CB, SAF…) is its roster position. Fantasy platforms set their own eligibility, and edge rushers are where they differ most — a player grouped LB here can be a DL in your league. Check your platform before you count on a position.
Games are games with a stat line. A game in which a defender never appeared in the play-by-play is not counted, so a rotational player's per-game number can run a little high.
Who is listed. Every defender with 4+ tackles or at least one sack, interception, forced fumble, fumble recovery, touchdown or pass defended so far — 805 players right now. Special-teams-only players are left out.
Past points are not next week's points. Tackle volume is the steadiest part of an IDP line; sacks and turnovers are the streakiest.
