Welcome to the Fantasy Football Linebacker WK9 AFC Rankings IDP Start/Sit Charts presented by GridironRatings.com Where the only original and proven IDP start/sit chart “cheat sheets” via The IDP Tipster can be found. And yes, there are a few imitators, but there is only one true original five-step formula IDP tactical tool. A formula with a well-tested history for over a decade and a proven high-hit rate in IDP play well before sharing it with the public four years ago. And all of that history and relevancy is only available here for G.R. fantasy football family members.

Needing to split those IDP hairs between two or more players with the same color code? Besides our great Player Ratings located in the main menu, our Oddsmakers IDP tactical tools were originally intended to do just that. And they are located on our The IDP Tipster member page or perhaps even on our main article page.
Disclaimer: We do not suggest “reaching” for higher designated players over available known studs!

Patrick Queen (C/O)
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
L.J. Fort (C/O)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Malik Harrison (C/O)
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Chris Board
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: The COVID crew here needs to test negative every day thru Saturday, and then they’ll be available for Sunday. If not, it’s last man standing on paper versus the Colts as marked (as Queen).
Bengals Inside Linebackers
Josh Bynes
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Germaine Pratt
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Logan Wilson
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Akeen Davis-Gaithers
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Bye Week.
Browns Inside Linebackers
B.J. Goodson
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Malcolm Smith
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Mack Wilson
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Sione Takitaki
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Jacob Phillips (Q)

See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Bye Week.
Steelers Inside Linebackers
Vince Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Robert Spillane
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Avery Williamson
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
Devin Bush (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked, and if you would like to know more we capped off everything in the waiver wire article for week 9.
AFC south
Texans Inside Linebackers
Zach Cunningham
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Tyrell Adams
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Dylan Cole
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Benardrick McKinney (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked on paper versus the Jaguars.
Colts Inside Linebackers
Darius Leonard
☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5
Bobby Okereke
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Anthony Walker
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
E.J. Speed
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked on paper versus the Ravens.
Jaquars Inside Linebackers
Myles Jack (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Joe Schobert
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Dakota Allen (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Quincy Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Jack is expected to play Sunday, and as long as he plays the entire game, he’ll be as marked. But we are noting we did not add any upside to this mark on-paper. Not yet, let’s see him stay healthy for a couple of games before we do.
Titans Inside Linebackers
Jayon Brown
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Rashaan Evans
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Will Compton
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
David Long
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Bears, and adding that right now the Bears are dead last in allowing production to the ILBs. If you have a better option, you may want to go there. Evans is “barely” just solid and it’s Brown’s upside that got him there.
AFC East
Bills Inside Linebackers
Tremaine Edmunds
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Matt Milano (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
A.J. Klein
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Tyrel Dodson (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked and a warning last time I the notes about the risk of Milano weren’t enough. And until we see him play a full game’s worth of snap counts again, he is barely worth looking at. And because we can’t trust the situation, which would affect Klein’s snaps, he is also barely worth looking at.
Dolphins Inside Linebackers
Jerome Baker
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Elandon Roberts
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Kamu Grugier-Hill
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Calvin Munson
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Cardinals. And we like to add, last week versus the Rams this unit overachieved by a mile. Because considering what Baker played with just 80% of the snaps, and the same with Roberts with just 20%, we can’t think what happened with the rams was a fluke.
Patriots Inside Linebackers
Ja’Whaun Bentley (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Cassh Maluia
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Anfernee Jennings
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Josh Uche (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Jets on paper.
Jets Inside Linebackers
Neville Hewitt
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Patrich Onwuarsor (IR/?))
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Blake Cashman (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Hewitt is the only safe as marked. And we suggest that owners that are interested in this situation after Avery Williamson was traded to wait it out. We have also written more about it in the waiver wire pick up article for this week if you would like to read more on it.
AFC west
Broncos Inside Linebackers
Alexander Johnson
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Josey Jewell
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Joe Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Nigel Bradham
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Falcons.
Chiefs Inside Linebackers
Anthoney Hitchens
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Damien Wilson
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Willie Gay
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Ben Niemann
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Dorian O’Daniel
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: We are simply tired of quoting the terrible snap counts here for all the players. If you are needing to go here we have marked them lower than the matchup on paper actually offers. And we wish you luck on how out-performs the other in this really strong contest.
Chargers Inside Linebackers
Kyzir White
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Kenneth Murry
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Denzel Perryman
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Drue Tranquill (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Raiders. And adding White continues to dip even more in snaps each contest. This past contest he hit his lowest in weeks with 57%.
Raiders Inside Linebackers
Nick Kwiatkoski
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Cory Littleton
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Nicholas Morrow
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Raekwon McMillan
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
See New Chart Key Above -Advice/Note: Kwiatkosi indeed reached 98% of the snaps last contest. And he should be fine going forward as long as he stays healthy. And versus the Chargers on paper, we’ll roll with the formula’s results. But there isn’t any upside to add at this time.
