2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilkins emerged as an elite run defender in 2021 and 2022, but like most interior defensive linemen, he didn't have much production in terms of getting to the quarterback. That all changed in 2023 when he posted a career-high nine sacks in a contract year. Though there's some reason to be wary about that increased production, there's also plenty to indicate Wilkins can at least come close to replicating his ability to get after the quarterback in 2024 after landing a massive deal in free agency with Las Vegas. First is his role. Last year was his breakout in terms of stats, but his role truly changed in 2022 when he was in a pass-rushing role on a career-high 587 snaps (per PFF). Given that the Raiders invested $110 million to land Wilkins, they surely won't be looking to cut back on his responsibilities. The change of scenery should also be beneficial to Wilkins because Maxx Crosby is among the better run-stopping ends in the league, which should free up defensive coordinator Patrick Graham to scheme creative pass rushes for Wilkins. That puts him in position to be one of the most productive interior linemen in the league. Read Past Outlooks

Set to call Las Vegas home
Wilkins agreed Monday with the Raiders on a four-year, $110 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilkins will immediately form one of the league's most dangerous pass-rush tandems alongside Maxx Crosby in Las Vegas, giving the Raiders one of the most intimidating defensive fronts in the league. The Dolphins opted not to franchise tag Wilkins after he broke out with 65 total tackles (10 for loss), 9.0 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 2023, and the contract now offered to him by Las Vegas is clearly one Miami couldn't have matched. The 28-year-old is one of the few interior defenders in the NFL to truly boast an ability to thrive as both a run stuffer and pass rusher, making him a premier fantasy asset in IDP formats that require starting DTs.

The first two years under Mike McDaniel in Miami have been defined by a need for a speed paced by WR Tyreek Hill. With a lucrative long-term contract in place, QB Tua Tagovailoa will continue to lead the way.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
One of the league's top defensive tackles, Wilkins has racked up linebacker-like tackle numbers the last two seasons with 187 in 34 games, adding eight sacks, 10 passes defended, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for good measure. The switch from Josh Boyer to Vic Fangio at defensive coordinator could impact Wilkins' role up front, but the 13th overall pick in the 2019 draft is more than athletic enough to stay on the field for passing downs, playing a career-high 903 defensive snaps in 2022. Fangio has gotten big years out of lesser DTs, and he could find new ways to exploit Wilkins' talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could propel Raiders in '24
Wilkins, who signed with the Raiders as a free agent this offseason, may prove a critical enough addition to help Las Vegas overcome the Chiefs for the AFC West crown, Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Brooks points out how the Raiders were able to top the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day last season and that Las Vegas' defense finished in the top half of the league in both points and yards allowed. Adding Wilkins to the Maxx Crosby-led unit could be a tipping point in Brooks's view, given Wilkins' slew of pass-rush moves and the fact he should free up Crosby and other members of the defensive line for more one-on-one matchups.
