Welcome to the Fantasy Football Rankings WK15 AFC Linebacker IDP Start/Sit Chart Cheat Sheet, 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.

NOTICE – Chart Key Marking Fine-Tuning Update

This was not applied to all the charts yet but will be by WK6. We are using a new STAR method this year that needed a better user-friendly feel.

Avoid Weak
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Barley Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Firm Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Really Solid
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Firm Strong
☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5

Questionable (?)  –  Out (O)  –  COVID (C)

Doubtful  –  (D)  –  Injuried Reserve (IR)

Attention Please!

It’s week 15 or 16 and we aren’t messing around with a bunch of huge details. The playoffs are here and we are getting right to the point with the marks. We’ll refect any concerns or anything else via the marks too. The five-step formula has got us here, so short and sweet, trust the charts while we ignore the drama.

If you have a serious question about splitting the hairs between a couple of players or need future assistance, please contact me via Twitter HERE. Or hit our site chat and whoever answers directly the question to me and they will find me via text to help you. Thank you again for joining us this year and we look forward to assisting you again in 2021.

Reminder, there will not be any week 17 charts as 99% of leagues have their championships in week 16. And week 17 means half the teams will sit the starters or they’ll see limited action unless they are the small number of teams needing to win out. Again, if you need direct assistance for week 17, please contact me as I mentioned above.

☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Akeen Davis-Gaithers

☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Devin Bush (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Robert Spillane (IR)

Tyrell Adams
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Nate Hall
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Benardrick McKinney (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Colts.

Colts Inside Linebackers

Darius Leonard (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Bobby Okereke
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Anthony Walker
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
E.J. Speed
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Texans. And give Walker a half more if Leonard is out.

 Jaquars Inside Linebackers

Myles Jack
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Joe Schobert
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Dakota Allen (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Quincy Williams
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Ravens.

Titans Inside Linebackers

Rashaan Evans
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
David Long
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Will Compton
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Jayon Brown (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Lions. And it’s really tough trusting Long again this week after underachieving in week 14.

AFC East

 Bills Inside Linebackers

Tremaine Edmunds
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
A.J. Klein
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Matt Milano
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Tyrel Dodson (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Broncos. Milano and Klien in a 50/50 share of snaps suggest we avoid.

Dolphins Inside Linebackers

Jerome Baker
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Elandon Roberts (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Kamu Grugier-Hill
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Calvin Munson
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Patriots. And a huge warning if Roberts can play. Try to avoid because Roberts had taken over the full-time gig before his injury. It’s a huge risk here if both play.

 Patriots Inside Linebackers

Ja’Whaun Bentley
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Terez Hall
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Josh Uche
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Anfernee Jennings
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Dolphins and only trust Bentley.

Jets Inside Linebackers

Neville Hewitt
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Harvey Langi
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Patrich Onwuarsor (IR, again)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5
Blake Cashman (IR)
☆☆☆☆☆ 0/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Rams.

AFC west

 Broncos Inside Linebackers

Alexander Johnson
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Josey Jewell
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Joe Jones
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Nigel Bradham
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5
Mark Barron
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Bills.

Chiefs Inside Linebackers

Anthoney Hitchens
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Damien Wilson (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Ben Niemann
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5
Willie Gay
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Dorian O’Daniel
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Saints. And Nieman will come into play again if Wilson is out. But we have to be honest, we don’t know this for a fact and it’s hard to tell what the heck the Chiefs do from week to week. Anyone on here is a desperation play, but one with huge rewards if you get lucky and pick the right player.

Chargers Inside Linebackers

Kenneth Murry
☆☆☆☆☆ 3/5
Kyzir White
☆☆☆☆☆ 2.5/5
Denzel Perryman (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5
Nick Vigil
☆☆☆☆☆ 1/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Raiders.

Raiders Inside Linebackers

Nicholas Morrow (?)
☆☆☆☆☆ 4/5
Nick Kwiatkoski
☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5
Cory Littleton
☆☆☆☆☆ 2/5
Raekwon McMillan
☆☆☆☆☆ 0.5/5

See New Chart Key Above  -Advice/Note: As marked versus the Chargers. If Morrow is out, Kwiatkoski gets a boost, but not Littleton. It would be too risky to assume so.
