We're down to the last installment of IDP Dynasty Sleepers for the 2025 season. The purpose of this article is to highlight a handful of linebackers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs that might be available in your dynasty leagues. I sample my own 12-, 14-, and 16-team leagues to get a cross-section of players who could be free agents in your leagues. Let's take a look at this week's suggestions.
Dynasty Sleeper Linebackers
Claudin Cherelus, Carolina
Christian Rozeboom is a free agent next season, and while Trevin Wallace will likely still be around (and is talented), Cherelus was productive in spot duty in the second half of the season. Look for Cherelus to have an outside chance at one of the inside linebacker spots in 2026.
