2026 seasonWeek 8Sleeper default IDP scoringProjected by Sleeper
Defenders are ordered by our projected points for the rest of the season under Sleeper's default IDP scoring.
Method
How this board is built
- Sleeper's default IDP scoring pays 2 points for a solo tackle, 1 for an assisted tackle, 2 for a tackle for loss, 6 for a sack, 6 for an interception, 3 for a pass defended, 3 for a forced fumble and 6 for a defensive touchdown.
- No value source prices a defender, so there is no trade value column here; the board is projected points and last season's record.
- For how IDP leagues work and which defenders to target, read the IDP guide.

FAQ
IDP rankings questions, answered
What is IDP in fantasy football?
IDP stands for individual defensive players. Instead of, or as well as, a whole team defense, an IDP league starts defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs as players in their own right, and scores them on tackles, sacks, interceptions and the other plays they make.
What scoring are these rankings in?
Sleeper's default IDP scoring, the settings a new Sleeper league starts with. Every projection and every one of last season's points on this page is worked out under it, so a league with a heavier tackle or big-play setting will order some players differently.
How often do these rankings update?
The projections behind the order refresh daily, and last season's finishes are rebuilt nightly. The page itself is rebuilt at most once an hour.
Why is there no dynasty or trade value column?
None of the value sources we carry publishes a price for a defender, so there is no trade value to show. The order here is projected points for the rest of the season, with last season's record beside each name.
Where do I see a player's game log?
Every name on this page links to that player's profile, which has his week by week game log, his snap share and his finishes in earlier seasons.
