2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanborn spent the first three years of his career in Chicago after being an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he followed Matt Eberflus to Dallas by signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March. The 24-year-old Wisconsin product totaled just 100 tackles and 2.5 sacks in a depth role while playing all 17 games each of the prior two seasons, and while he could begin the 2025 season holding down a starting spot due to his experience with Eberflus' scheme, he'll be a stop-gap option at best.

Won't return vs. NYJ
Sanborn has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Jets, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanborn went to the locker room with medical staff in the first half after taking a hit to the head, where he was diagnosed with a concussion after undergoing tests. Marist Liufau and Shemar James will see more work on defense for the second half in Sanborn's absence.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
