Explodes for 10.5 sacks in 2024
Fowler finished the 2024 regular season with 39 tackles (25 solo), including 10.5 sacks, along with an interception that he returned for a touchdown and two forced fumbles over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Prior to 2024, Fowler had just one double-digit sack season to his name -- he racked up 11.5 sacks while working alongside Aaron Donald with the Rams in 2019. He worked in a rotational role in Dallas in 2022 and 2023, but Washington gave Fowler more opportunity after signing him to a one-year contract last March. The results were impressive, as Fowler led the Commanders with 10.5 sacks, ranking tied for 12th in the NFL in that category. Of that total, 8.0 sacks came in a six-game stretch from Week 5 to Week 10, and Fowler did fade a bit late, as he recorded just five stops with no sacks over three playoff games. Nonetheless, the Commanders will likely have interest in bringing him back for 2025, though Fowler's big regular season could result in a steep price in the free-agent market.

First-round rookie QB Jayden Daniels may be running for his life behind a porous O-line this season, but his playmaking at least should result in the occasional highlight-worthy play.
Contract situations are looming over QB Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb, but however things play out, the Cowboys are well-positioned on both sides of the ball to remain one of the NFC's top squads.
Kenneth Walker was fantastic the past two weeks and now appears locked in for a dominant share of Seattle's rushing workload against the Chargers' vulnerable run defense.
Devin Singletary remains the likely lead back in Buffalo, but James Cook and Zack Moss are applying pressure for playing time.

The veteran followed Dan Quinn to Dallas and proved to be a solid addition to the Cowboys' pass rush, racking up six sacks in 2022 in only 329 snaps. Fowler was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft but aside from a big 2019 campaign with the Rams, he's never lived up to that billing. Instead, he'll join DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong and San Williams as complementary pieces behind Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jettisoned in Atlanta
Fowler was released by the Falcons on Wednesday with two seasons remaining on his contract, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old likely won't have much trouble finding willing suitors in the open market, but he'll almost certainly have to settle for a relatively modest contract. Fowler arrived in Atlanta prior to the 2020 season with plenty of momentum after posting a career-high 11.5 sacks with the Rams in 2019, but he finished his Falcons tenure with just 59 tackles and 7.5 sacks over 28 games.
