# Jordyn Brooks NFL defensive player. Position: **Linebacker (LB)**. Team: **Miami Dolphins**. ## Quick Facts - **Position:** Linebacker (LB) - **Team:** Miami Dolphins - **2025 IDP Rank:** IDP1 ## 2026 Outlook Jordyn Brooks was the IDP1 (highest-scoring individual defensive player) in 2025 fantasy football, finishing with 270.5 fantasy points despite playing for the Dolphins' 25th-ranked EPA-per-play-allowed defense. Led the NFL with 99 solo tackles and earned his first-ever First-Team All-Pro nod. Brooks' elite tackle production came from a worst-case scenario—a weak Dolphins defense that forced him to be constantly around the ball. (per 2026 NFL Fantasy Football Top IDP and Team Defense Picks, Contenders & Analysis - Lineups) A potential trade target for several teams, with Pittsburgh among the loudest suitors. At 28 years old with one year remaining on his Dolphins contract, Brooks could net significant fantasy upside in a scheme change or healthier defensive environment. The Dolphins, having traded away most of their high-end assets, present diminishing returns for a player of his caliber. (per Steelers urged to trade for All-Pro linebacker) The Steelers have specifically circled Brooks as a trade target heading into training camp, positioning such a move as nearly inevitable. (per four-trades-the-steelers-should-make) ## Role / Depth Chart Starter at linebacker for the Miami Dolphins defense, leading the unit in tackles. Due to the team's defensive struggles in 2025, Brooks was in near-constant demand; however, the team's defense is expected to improve with new coordinator changes in 2026. ## Recent News - 2026-06-18 — Final NFL offseason moves for 32 teams: Trades, signings, more (Final NFL offseason moves for 32 teams: Trades, signings, more) - 2026-06-22 — Four trades the Steelers should make before training camp (Four trades the Steelers should make before training camp) - 2026-03-01 — 2026 NFL combine buzz: Intel on free agency, trades, QBs (2026 NFL combine buzz: Intel on free agency, trades, QBs) - 2026-06-07 — NFL Trade Candidates: 5 Top Remaining Players And Potential Landing Spots (NFL Trade Candidates: 5 Top Remaining Players And Potential Landing Spots) - 2026-04-25 — Miami Dolphins' 2026 NFL draft picks: Full list, analysis (Miami Dolphins' 2026 NFL draft picks: Full list, analysis) - 2026-03-27 — AFC Coaching Changes: How the 9 New Defensive Coordinators Will Impact IDP Leagues for...
