2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tavai recorded a career-high 110 tackles to go along with two interceptions and a sack in 17 games with the Patriots during the 2023 regular season. In the process, the 27-year-old - who joined the league as a second-round pick of the Lions in 2019 - took a step forward as a hybrid ILB/OLB for the team. He's slated to reprise that role in a defense that now will be led by new coordinator DeMarcus Covington. Read Past Outlooks
