Top-tier IDP safeties like Brian Branch, Kyle Hamilton, and Budda Baker are primed for consistent production, making them valuable assets for fantasy managers. Given the unpredictable nature of IDP safety performance, many managers are advised to delay their draft decisions on this position. Instead, targeting lesser-known but well-positioned starters could yield significant returns.

Brian Branch and Kyle Hamilton lead the charge, both showcasing exceptional tackle efficiency and favorable defensive schemes. Budda Baker remains a dominant force despite possible regression in output. Newcomer DeShon Elliott brings promise with his recent contract extension in a tackle-friendly environment, making him a player to watch this season.
