2024 Fantasy Outlook
Even relative to the expectations of being the No. 2 overall pick, Hutchinson has been plenty productive through his first two seasons. He's combined to produce 21 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in 34 games. While his surface stats were nearly identical from 2022 to 2023, both his improved playmaking and peripheral stats make clear that we should expect more from Hutchinson. Most notably, he doubled his quarterback hits (15 to 33), increased his tackles for loss from nine to 14 and also forced three fumbles from his rookie to sophomore campaigns. His ability to get to the quarterback is particularly positive and illustrates his ability to produce at the levels of elite pass rushers around the league, as only T.J. Watt (36) and Nick Bosa (35) logged more quarterback hits than Hutchinson (33). The final piece to the puzzle is the rest of the defensive line supporting him, as Alim McNeil and new addition DJ Reader will occupy offensive lineman and keep double teams away from Hutchinson. Year three has all the makings of a breakout. Read Past Outlooks

Historic performance in Week 2
DEDetroit Lions
September 15, 2024
Hutchinson recorded five total tackles (four solo), including 4.5 sacks, in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson got out of the gates with a bang, securing a strip sack of Baker Mayfield on Tampa Bay's first possession of the contest. He later added another 2.0 sacks on the Buccaneers' next two drives. The defensive lineman then notched 1.5 sacks in the second half, finishing off a historic day. Hutchinson's 4.5 sacks are the second most in a game in franchise history, only behind Bill Gay who compiled 5.5 sacks in 1983, also against Tampa Bay. Through two games in 2024, Hutchinson has registered 10 total tackles (seven solo), including 5.5 sacks, and forced a fumble.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Hutchinson is primed for another productive season after leading the Lions with 9.5 sacks as a rookie. There doesn't seem to be any reason he can't keep logging close to 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps, and he figures to only gain responsibilities in run defense entering his second year. While the Michigan product likely won't be getting three interceptions in a season again, double-digit sacks and an improvement upon the 52 tackles Hutchinson logged last year are fully in the cards.
Expectations are high for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 Draft. Hutchinson not only should step into a starting role in Detroit's rising defense, he could be a fantasy factor from the jump given his abilities to rack up tackles and rush the passer. With Charles Harris and Romeo Okwara on the other side of him while Michael Brockers and 2021 third-round nose tackle Alim McNeill clog up the middle, defenses won't be able to devote too much attention to him, either. However, any possible struggles wouldn't be the first time that a top prospect has in the acclimation process to the pro game. This should be accounted for in his IDP profile in addition to his sky-high upside.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wild-card candidate for DPOY
DEDetroit Lions
September 30, 2023
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com believes Hutchinson is an outside candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
ANALYSIS
The list has Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, T.J. Watt, Nick Bosa and Chris Jones ahead of Hutchinson in the DPOY race, but Brooks does note that what separates Hutchinson from the rest of the competition is his 27 QB pressures in four games, per Pro Football Focus. Hutchinson has been a large factor in the Lions' 3-1 start and has accumulated 12 tackles -- including nine solo and 3.5 sacks -- three pass deflections and a forced fumble to start the season. He's part of a Lions defense that leads the league with 13 sacks and ranks fourth in rushing yards allowed per game at 60.8. Hutchinson could climb up that list if he helps the Lions win the division for the first time in team history.
