2024 Fantasy Outlook
Uche logged just 15 tackles to go along with three sacks in 15 regular-season games in 2023, but the 2020 second-rounder is among the players who could see an increased role following the August trade of Matthew Judon. Uche racked up 11.5 sacks in 2022, so a return to IDP utility is plausible for the Michigan product while working under new defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington. Read Past Outlooks

Clear for Sunday
Uche (foot) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest versus Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Uche was a limited participant in practice due to a lingering foot issue Wednesday and Thursday, but he wasn't restricted Friday and will head into the weekend without an injury designation. The outside linebacker tallied 23 percent of New England's defensive snaps Week 1 against the Bengals and didn't record a tackle.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his third season as a pro, Uche really hit his stride as a pass rusher, racking up 11.5 sacks in 15 games. While the 2020 second-rounder recorded just 27 tackles overall, his ability to get to the QB boosted his profile in New England's defense. In 2023, the 24-year-old again will remain a key pass-rushing cog for the team along with Matthew Judon and Deatrich Wise, among others.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expresses desire to stay in NE
Uche said Tuesday that he turned down significantly more money to stay in New England, noting that he felt "destined to be a Patriot...I don't want to be anywhere else," Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Uche reportedly turned down a two-year, $15 million contract with $11 million guaranteed from another team to stay with the Patriots on a one-year deal with $3 million guaranteed. He said people were "calling him crazy" for leaving such money on the table, but the edge rusher said being in New England was a "dream that I wanted to fulfill." Uche struggled in 2023 after Matthew Judon suffered a season-ending biceps injury in Week 4 against the Cowboys, and the former finished the season with 15 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 15 games. Uche registered career highs in 2022 with 27 tackles, including 11.5 sacks, along with two forced fumbles.
