Tackles & sacks allowed by position
How many tackles and sacks each NFL offense gives up to opposing defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs. Start IDP players whose opponent gives up the most at their position.
| Your defense | Versus | DL | LB | DB |

Hover or tap a number for details. Each cell is how many tackles (or sacks) per game the opponent's offense has given up to defenders at that position this season, with its rank (1 = most allowed). Green = start with more confidence.
Every defense playing this week, ranked from best matchup to worst at each position, by what its opponent's offense has allowed per game. "vs avg" is the gap to the league average. Faded rows are games already played.
Read each row as: defenders playing against this offense average this many tackles. SEA at 28.1 for LB means LBs facing Seattle average 28.1 tackles per game, so start LBs whose team plays SEA. Click a column to sort.
What counts
Every tackle an opposing DL, LB or DB was credited with in the official box score, including special-teams tackles. Total = solo + assisted. Solo includes the primary tackler on a shared tackle.
Sacks
Sacks credited to DL, LB or DB against each offense; half sacks count 0.5. A sack is its own stat: the sacker usually gets a tackle on the play too, and that tackle is already in the tackle numbers.
Positions
Grouped by each player's NFL roster position. Edge rushers listed as OLB count as LB; listed as DE they count as DL. Your league's labels may differ.
Sample size
Teams have played , so one big game moves a rank a lot. Volume matters too: offenses that run more plays allow more tackles. Check the games column.
Ranks
Rank 1 gives up the most tackles (or sacks) per game to that position (best matchup for your defender). Tied teams share a rank.
