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

Worst season of career
LBChicago Bears
January 6, 2025
Sanborn recorded one solo tackle in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sanborn had posted 64 and 65 tackles during his first two seasons in the league. In 2024, the veteran ended the season with 35 tackles (17 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three defensed passes in 17 games. The biggest issue was that the Bears followed a trend in the league in which teams often use two linebackers on the field, instead of the traditional three or four. The defensive scheme resulted in Sanborn playing just 22 percent of the snaps. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason.

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.
