Josh Sweat has transitioned to the Arizona Cardinals, where he is expected to have a significant role under the guidance of head coach Jonathan Gannon, elevating his value in individual defensive player (IDP) leagues for the 2025 season.

On the other hand, players like Ernest Jones and Jamien Sherwood cemented their roles by staying with their respective teams, reducing uncertainty ahead of the upcoming season. The wave of NFL free agency and the impending 2025 NFL Draft are reshaping the landscape for fantasy football managers.

Among the rising stars is linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither, who joins a relatively open depth chart in Arizona, positioning him for a potential starting role and making him an intriguing target in IDP formats.
