Welcome To The NFL’s Free Agent Deep IDP Dynasty Profiles Collection – the Hottest 2023 second-year inside linebackers Edition.
Hottest Second-Year Inside Linebackers
Quay Walker
Even with Devondre Campbell still under contract, the Packers’ second-year inside linebacker โ Quay Walker โ lands first overall because he’s the safest. Not because he has the highest ceiling right away. Walker’s role is a lock if there’s one here to have, barring any changes with Campbell.
Walker’s best highlight was the ability to step in at a pro level as a rookie. All the other elite aspects of his game are just icing on the cake in deep dynasty leagues… (Read More)

Jack Sanborn
The Bears’ Jack Sanborn’s rise to relevancy out of nowhere isn’t going noticed. His 2023 ceiling is what lands him right after Quay Walker in this collection. Don’t worry, Sanborn’s role should also be a lock.
Chicago clearly has so many areas of interest to address, but they likely won’t be fixed in 2023 if it’s not flat-out broken…. (Read More)
I think the Bears found a gem in Jack Sanborn (#57).
Starts shifting before the TE even goes in motion, reacts to the play LIGHTNING fast, avoids the blocker and gets to Aaron Jones.
Heck of a play from the undrafted LB. pic.twitter.com/4Jqcwt9Opi

Malcolm Rodriguez
In the end, Malcolm Rodriguez was a rookie gem for the Lions, as well as for IDP managers who were lucky enough to hit on him. Although we believe Rodriquez will start next season and for many years to come, we’re not convinced his role will increase in snaps that much.
Nor are we sold yet he will take over the main run-stopping ILB position either. That’s the sweet spot ILB position that is known to be consistent enough to manage every week… (Read More)

Devin Lloyd
A late-season plot twist changed Devin Lloyd’s off-season dynasty outlook when he hit a wall and Jacksonville gave later-round rookie Chad Muma a shot at running this defense. Though it is via a smaller sample, Muma wasn’t that far off from matching Lloy’d overall under-par performance.
So his listing in this collection is hinged on Lloyd’d high draft stock pulling through sooner than Muma’s. At least Lloyd enters 2023 as the best default option between the two… (Read More)
