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.

Double-digit tackles Sunday
Jewell recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Jewell finished as Carolina's second-leading tackler in Week 2, trailing only Shaq Thompson's 14-stop performance. The first-year Panther has proved to be an impactful inside linebacker despite Carolina's defensive struggles across its first two games, as Jewell has logged 18 total tackles and one pass defended on 123 defensive snaps. He's expected to continue racking up tackles as the Panthers take on the Raiders in Week 3.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to remain with Broncos
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.
