2025 Fantasy Outlook
Anzalone suffered a broken forearm Week 11 of the 2024 campaign, and as a result, the linebacker was limited to 63 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five pass defenses over 10 regular-season games, all of which represented the lowest totals of Anzalone's four-year tenure with Detroit. He shifted from middle linebacker to the weak side last season, so he may not challenge the 127 tackles per season he averaged between 2022 and 2023, but Anzalone should remain a productive asset in 2025.

Signed a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Lions in March of 2023.
Big factor in coverage
Anzalone recorded seven tackles (four solo) and three passes defensed in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Anzalone had a strong all-around performance in Thursday's win, logging at least seven stops for the second consecutive contest. He also had a good day in coverage, breaking up three total passes, two of which were intended for Dallas tight ends. Anzalone is having a very strong season in coverage, as his seven passes defensed matches the career high he set in 2021.

Anzalone is coming off of an impressive 2023 campaign with the Lions, securing a career-high 129 tackles (85 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while also deflecting six passes and recovering a fumble over 16 games. The 29-year-old operated as the team's primary middle linebacker last season and likely will remain in that role, working alongside fellow linebackers Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes in 2024. Anzalone has averaged 127 tackles per campaign while playing nearly 2,000 defensive snaps over the last two years in Detroit, making him a safe bet for consistent production again this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No progress toward extension
Anzalone returned to practice this weekend after overcoming a minor hamstring injury to begin training camp, but there's been no sign the Lions are interested in signing him to a contract extension, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old linebacker is heading into the final year of his current deal, and he's coming off a 2024 campaign in which he played only 10 regular-season games due to a broken forearm. Anzalone was productive when he was on the field, however, collecting 63 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and then racking up 13 tackles in a divisional-round loss to the Commanders. He topped 120 tackles in both 2022 and 2023, but given his age and recent struggles staying healthy, as well as Detroit's looming salary cap crunch, a contract extension seems unlikely.
