2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Michael Hoecht in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a one-year contract with the Rams in March of 2024.
Fives starts in 2024

January 30, 2025
Hoecht played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 56 tackles (24 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two pass defenses. He added seven tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, across the Rams' two playoff games.
ANALYSIS
Hoecht signed a one-year, $2.96 million contract in March of 2024 to return to the Rams after a career year in 2023, during which he logged career bests in combined tackles (81) and sacks (6.0). He spent most of the 2024 campaign in a rotational role at edge rusher behind Byron Young and Braden Fiske (knee), though Hoecht did manage to start in five of the Rams' six games between Week 7 and 11. The Rams have their edge rushers of the future in Fiske and Young, so it's unclear whether Hoecht will return in a rotational role or join another team when he enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The third-year linebacker's first full season as a starter was a mixed bag, as Hoecht put up 6.0 sacks and 81 tackles along with his first two career passes defensed, but he also struggled as a pass rusher. Jared Verse's selection in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft likely will spell the end of Hoecht's time as a starting linebacker, but he still provides valuable, experienced depth in a very young Rams defense and should be the first man up if Verse or Byron Young were to miss any time.
Hoecht was moved from defensive end to outside linebacker in the final third of last season, and his production spiked considerably as a result. He closed his final seven games with 34 tackles (21 solo), 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble, and with Leonard Floyd not returning, Hoecht has been promoted to a starting role ahead of 2023. Byron Young, Nick Hampton and Ochaun Mathis were added in the draft to aid the pass rush, but none of the trio should pose a threat to Hoecht's playing time in the short term.
