2026 NFL · IDP · Week 5
Week 5 IDP rankings
Projected IDP points from each defender's recent production and snap share, adjusted for the offense he faces. Updated every morning, including after the injury report.
These are model projections, not guarantees. Big plays like sacks and interceptions are hard to predict, so treat close calls as coin flips and check final statuses before kickoff.
Tap any column header to sort. Sort by Pos to group positions, or type a position (LB, CB) or team in the filter box.

How the projections work
Each defender's IDP points over his last three games (weighted 50/30/20) are pulled toward the average for his position, scaled by how much he's on the field, so one big game doesn't dominate. That's blended with his season average, then moved up or down by up to 15% for the opposing offense. Only players on the field for at least 35% of recent snaps are ranked. Matchup rank 1 is the offense that gives up the most points to the player's position group (DL, LB or DB). In testing on weeks 3 and 4, projections were off by about 3 points per player on average, better than using each player's season average.
