Has key role in rookie campaign
Newton finished the 2024 regular season with 44 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble over 16 games.
ANALYSIS
After being taken in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Newton missed Washington's regular-season opener due to a foot injury. He was ready to play the following week, however, and gradually worked his way up to a significant role -- Newton started each of the Commanders' regular-season contests from Week 7 onward, though he came off the bench and logged lesser defensive snap counts during the playoffs. Newton appears to be a key part of the team's plans moving forward and will look to further develop in 2025 during his second NFL campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for bigger role sans Payne
Newton is set to start at defensive tackle alongside Jonathan Allen for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles due to Daron Payne being ruled out with knee and finger injuries, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Newton started in 11 games during the regular season due to Allen being sidelined with a torn left pectoral muscle. With Payne not playing Sunday, Newton and Allen will be the Commanders' starting defensive tackles while Sheldon Day and Carl Davis serve in a rotational role. Allen finished his first NFL regular season with 44 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 games.
