My Top-70 Projections for Linebackers in 2017

[lukkynumber13]

First off, this is for off-ball LBs only. No pass rushers on this list. That being said, what I'm doing here is simply ranking my projections of how many tackles these guys will get this season. Tackles, nothing else. So players like Jamie Collins, Lavonte David, D'Onta Hightower, etc will seem even lower than usual because I'm going to refrain from the impossible task of guessing whether a LB will get 1 or 4 interceptions, 0 vs 5 sacks, etc. I'm simply trying to help give you an idea of what to expect from these guys in terms of tackle production.

While I've attempted to project for what I foresee to be timeshares (KC, Cincy, AZ, etc), I did not project for potential injuries. Sean Lee, for instance, is projected at a full 16-game workload. I did, however, project stats based on current situations such as Burfict's suspension and Perryman's injury.
