2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tranquill tallied the second-highest tackle total of his career in 2024, with 94 stops (54 total), including 2.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. He also had two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries, with his tackle total ranking second on the Chiefs behind only Nick Bolton (106). Tranquill was more productive during the playoffs, though, with 25 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble in three postseason contests. He's locked in as a starter in Kansas City's linebacker corps and boasts the three-down skill set to flirt with triple-digit tackles if healthy for all 17 games. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $19 million contract with the Chiefs in March of 2024.
Eclipses 100 tackles in 2025
Tranquill recorded 103 tackles (55 solo) including 2.0 sacks, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 17 games with Kansas City in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Tranquill was once again a steadying presence at linebacker next to Nick Bolton this season, and thanks to a higher defensive snap count (881) than last year (760), he was able to tally 100-plus tackles for the first time since 2022 with the Chargers. With that said, his per-snap tackle production was slightly down from 2024, and he was sometimes viewed as a liability in coverage. He will turn 31 in August, but he still figures to play a significant role in the Chiefs' front seven in 2026.
