Niemann signed with the Lions on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran linebacker played in seven games and on 131 special teams snaps for Denver in 2023, but he did not play a down on defense. Niemann did record a career-high 70 tackles the year before with the Cardinals, and he finished with at least 44 tackles every year from 2019 through 2021 with the Chiefs. In Detroit, Niemann should have a chance to compete for playing time behind outside linebackers Derrick Barnes and Jack Campbell.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Niemann has served as a rotational linebacker early in his career. He's likely to maintain that role in 2023 after signing with the Titans during the offseason.
Niemann held on to a sizable chunk of snaps alongside Anthony Hitchens during 2020, amassing 44 tackles (29 solo) and a sack while also forcing a fumble and recovering two. He did struggle some in coverage (131.4 QB rating against) but is still likely in line for a good chunk of snaps in 2021.
