            These rankings will be updated throughout the summer.

            We've split them up by traditional IDP positions: defensive line, linebacker and defensive back. Because scoring systems can vary greatly in IDP formats, these rankings will be based on the following scoring criteria:

            • Solo tackle: 1.5 points

            • Assisted tackle: 0.75 points

            • Tackle for loss: 2 points

            • Sack: 4 points

            • Interception: 5 points

            • Forced fumble: 4 points

            • Fumble recovery: 4 points

            • Defensive TD: 6 points

            • Safety: 2 points

            • Pass defensed: 1.5 points

            In the headers of the rankings below, our two analysts will be abbreviated: Mike Clay (MC) and Jim McCormick (JM)
