All Fantasy football IDP leagues are different, and reward sacks, passes defensed, and interceptions with different point values.

The only constant is tackles, and my list generally focuses on tackles with the rest of the stats bumping someone up or down. The talent pool in IDP leagues is always deep, so it may be wise to take a flyer on a low-tackle high-sack guy. But here’s a list of guys that wont shit the bed.

1. Patrick Willis – San Francisco 49ers – 1985

  • Far and away the best defensive fantasy contributer out there. Willis is a tackle-machine that adds in a little bit of everything else. The guys up front are big enough to keep guards off him, and occasionally he’ll come on a blitz.  The passes defensed are nice, but you cant count on them.

2. DeMarcus Ware – Dallas Cowboys – 1982

  • I’m not a fan of putting an OLB that predicates his game on the pass rush this high, but Ware has a great combo. Ware racks up enough tackles to warrant putting him at 2, and the sacks will at least hit 10 every year assuming Dallas’ offensive allows for an aggressive defense.
