2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanborn spent the first three years of his career in Chicago after being an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he followed Matt Eberflus to Dallas by signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March. The 24-year-old Wisconsin product totaled just 100 tackles and 2.5 sacks in a depth role while playing all 17 games each of the prior two seasons, and while he could begin the 2025 season holding down a starting spot due to his experience with Eberflus' scheme, he'll be a stop-gap option at best.

Signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys in March of 2025.
Won't play due to groin injury
Sanborn was added to the Cowboys' injury report due to a groin injury, and he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Sanborn sustained the injury, as he was not listed on the Cowboys' injury report during Week 8 prep. However, the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year linebacker to not suit up against Denver. With Sanborn set to be inactive and DeMarvion Overshown (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list, Damone Clark will serve as the Cowboys' lone reserve linebacker on the active roster behind Marist Liufau, Shemar James and Kenneth Murray.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Sanborn's career statistics are misleading in terms of his IDP potential. Through two years, he's averaged 64.5 tackles per season. However, the Wisconsin product has played 87 percent or more of the defensive snaps in only seven contests, notching 10.1 tackles per game. The linebacker projects to move into a starting role this year, meaning his weekly tallies should be significantly higher than the last two seasons. Although Sanborn may not post 10 tackles per game, he should be a high-floor IDP.
