Soak it in, folks: football is back. We made it.

The 2025 NFL regular season kicks off on Thursday with the (now Micah Parsons-less) Dallas Cowboys taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. With games returning at last, that means it’s time to make those tough lineup decisions. I’m here to help.

Each week this season, I’ll be bringing you projections for about 200 IDPs across LB, DL, and DB (broken down by true position as well). These projections also feed our brand-new, one-of-a-kind IDP start/sit tool, which is free for all to use.

This tool defaults to Big 3 Scoring but also offers projections in three other popular scoring formats, all of which are detailed on the tool’s homepage. Paid supporters can also download the projections spreadsheet and tweak the scoring to make them customized for your league. (Directions for that are behind the paywall.)

Be sure to scroll over on each chart below to see the various categories I’ve projected and use the arrow buttons at the top right to navigate between pages.

Good luck in Week 1. It’s a long season, yes, but it always feels good to start the year off with a W. I’m also on Twitter if you need extra help. Let’s get it!
