2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jewell has emerged as a capable linebacker in any role asked of him, but he also doesn't stand out as elite in any specific way either. That's good enough for him to have topped 100 tackles in each of his last three full seasons, and he's also chipped in a combined 5.5 sacks and seven passes defensed across the last two campaigns combined. His production is relatively stable, though there may be some slight upside now that he's reunited with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Carolina, who was in the same position with the Broncos in 2022-- Jewell's most productive season.

Notches 10 tackles in loss
LBCarolina Panthers
October 28, 2024
Jewell recorded 10 total tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Jewell had missed the Panthers' last three games due to a hamstring injury sustained in Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Bengals before returning Sunday. The Iowa product picked up right where he left off, notching his second double-digit tackle performance of the season. With Shaq Thompson (Achilles) sidelined for the remainder of the season, Jewell will likely take on a larger role in the Panthers' defense and could be a viable IDP option on a weekly basis moving forward.

Jewell set career highs in tackles, sacks and interceptions during the 2022 campaign, and he'll look to play an important role in Denver's defense once again this season as he enters the final year of his current contract. The 28-year-old linebacker figures to continue in an every-down role in 2023, as he and fellow linebacker Alex Singleton formed an elite tandem as the team's leading tacklers last season. Jewell's impressive production makes him an interesting IDP option for the coming season.
Jewell signed a two-year, $11 million contract in March to remain in Denver. The 27-year-old played in just two games in 2021 before suffering a torn pectoral that ended his season. In the season prior, Jewell totaled 113 tackles, four pass deflections and two sacks. The veteran should start at inside linebacker and look to return to form as a key part the Broncos' strong defensive unit.
Jewell, a 2018 fourth-rounder, emerged as a quality starter for Denver last season, compiling five-plus tackles in all but two games. The Iowa product seemingly lacks the ideal athleticism to star in Vic Fangio's system, but at least to start the coming season Jewell projects to start alongside Alexander Johnson, with 2021 third-round pick Baron Browning waiting in the wings should Jewell struggle.
Drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 draft as an heir apparent at inside linebacker, injuries to Brandon Marshall pushed Jewell into the starting lineup early. He finished his rookie campaign with nine starts, 58 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three passes defended. Marshall is in Oakland now and a calf injury to Jewell's presumed tandem partner, Todd Davis, has further accelerated Jewell's development as the sophomore has been calling the defense until Davis returns. Inside linebackers have put together some prolific seasons under head coach Vic Fangio and, while Jewell isn't quite the athlete of some of Fangio's former studs, the team showed its faith in him by eschewing other potential options in the draft and free agency.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to remain with Broncos
LBDenver Broncos
February 4, 2024
Jewell is unlikely to re-sign with the Broncos in 2024, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Russell Wilson's mega deal will leave the Broncos cap-strapped in 2024, regardless of whether the underperforming quarterback is released. General manager George Paton has said Denver is likely to sit out the first wave of free agency, which will make it difficult to re-sign top free agents such as Jewell, who has reached the 100-tackle threshold in three of the past four seasons. The 29-year-old linebacker would likely have to take less than his market value to re-sign with the Broncos.
