2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sanborn's career statistics are misleading in terms of his IDP potential. Through two years, he's averaged 64.5 tackles per season. However, the Wisconsin product has played 87 percent or more of the defensive snaps in only seven contests, notching 10.1 tackles per game. The linebacker projects to move into a starting role this year, meaning his weekly tallies should be significantly higher than the last two seasons. Although Sanborn may not post 10 tackles per game, he should be a high-floor IDP. Read Past Outlooks

Notches sack
LBChicago Bears
September 16, 2024
Sanborn posted two tackles (one solo), including a sack, in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With the Bears often playing with two linebackers on the field, Sanborn is often the odd man out. In this game, he played just 18 percent of the snaps, and Sanborn now has just two tackles on the season. The lack of playing time makes him difficult to count on in IDP leagues.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After the Bears traded Roquan Smith to the Ravens following Week 8 last season, Sanborn, an undrafted rookie, stepped into a starting job and averaged 10.8 tackles per contests to go with a pair of sacks from Weeks 9 through 13. Most of Sanborn's production came at middle linebacker, though, so the offseason pickups of Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards may cap Sanborn's workload in his second campaign. Sanborn also ended 2022 on IR with an ankle injury but should be ready for training camp.
