Rising Into the Top 24 IDP Defensive Tackles Rankings
The 2025 season is shaping up to be pivotal for several emerging interior defensive linemen. One name climbing into the IDP top 24 is Byron Murphy II. He’s projected to anchor the Seattle Seahawks’ defensive line. We believe Murphy could end up in a better spot than Leonard Williams, thanks to his pass-rushing upside and opportunity for volume.
You have to value of pass-rushing upside, especially when evaluating interior linemen. Tackle-only producers are less valuable unless they play at an elite level. Sell veterans who rely solely on tackle numbers and prioritize explosive, young talent with third-down roles.
In deeper formats, being ahead of the curve matters. Identifying these risers before your league-mates do can offer a major edge.
