How to read this board

Linebackers are tackle-primary in AthX Engine IDP: solo and assisted tackles pay more than on the DL table, with sack and ball skills still counting.

Player projected FP is AthX Engine's season-long production estimate under locked NFL scoring. It is not ADP, not DFS salary, and not a price target.

Important: AthX Engine projected FP is not share price. Prices also move with market demand through dynamic pricing. August content is browse and planning. IPOs are aimed at September 6–9, 2026.

What stands out

  • Jordyn Brooks sits alone at the top with 441 projected FP. That is the AthX Engine flagship LB projection on this board.
  • Zaire Franklin (GB) projects 422 FP at rank 2.
  • Foye Oluokun (JAX) projects 404 FP at rank 3.
  • Roquan Smith (BAL) projects 398 FP at rank 4.
  • Jack Campbell (DET) projects 387 FP at rank 5.

    • The gap from rank 1 to the back of this list is the point of publishing position boards now. Readers who only know September ADP will miss how AthX Engine values lb production under our scoring card—not a generic fantasy host.

    Series context

    This post is part of the AthX Engine NFL projection series (one board per day):

    What to do next

    1. Cross-check roles and depth charts as camps evolve. Projections move when jobs change. 2. Read AthX Engine NFL scoring so TE premium and IDP tables are not a surprise. 3. Practice on live MLB before NFL IPO week. 4. Track who lists on the marketplace as September approaches.

    August = AthX Engine projections. September = IPO trading. Do not mix them up.
