Fantasy Football IDP Linebackers: Rankings 25–48 for Redraft Leagues
Carson Schwesinger (Browns)
Swesinger is a rookie who posted 136 tackles in 12 college games. That’s elite volume. He’ll likely start next to Jordan Hicks in Cleveland. With limited competition and a defense expected to spend time on the field, Swessinger is a top breakout candidate among Fantasy football IDP linebackers.
Josey Jewell (Panthers)
Jewell produced 97 tackles in 12 games last season. He’s averaged 8.1 tackles per game when healthy. Durability remains the concern. If he plays all 17 games, he’s a lock for 125+ tackles. A strong, steady LB2 in redraft formats.
Tremaine Edmunds (Bears)
Edmunds had only 88 tackles in 2024. His coverage role limits his upside in IDP. Despite name value, his production doesn’t match. Avoid unless the price is very low.
Junior Colson (Chargers)
Colson is a smart, NFL-ready rookie who reunites with Jim Harbaugh in L.A. He has a real shot to start. If that happens, he’s a top waiver wire target early in the season.
Final Thoughts on Fantasy Football IDP Linebackers
Linebackers in this tier are your cheat code for depth and breakout value. Players like Swessinger, Colson, and Knight could become every-week starters. Don’t draft only based on name value. Instead, prioritize opportunity, role, and tackle volume. These Fantasy football IDP linebackers are the difference between scraping by and dominating the flex spot.
