Derrière vs. Derrière moi

I wondered if it’s possible to say « Je te laisserai derrière moi ».

Bonjour, 

It is not wrong per se here. You don't need "moi" as it is implied in this context. 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

I'll leave you behind. -- Je te laisserai derrière.

In English, too, you wouldn't say "I'll leave you behind me." However, you can say:

Il est derrière moi- -- He is behind me.
