2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sweat got a change of scenery in the middle of the 2023 season when Washington dealt him to Chicago for a second-round pick. He signed a lucrative four-year, $98 million extension shortly thereafter and immediately made a positive impression with his new team, tallying 14 quarterback hits across nine games -- both of which should cement his status as a key to the team's pass rush for several years to come. In four full seasons in the league, Sweat has never posted below seven sacks in a season and his recent pressure rates suggest double-digit production is possible in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Sweat is set to play out 2023 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, while the defensive end Washington drafted in the first round a year after him (Chase Young) didn't have his option picked up. The Commanders likely will lose one of them next offseason, and possibly both, but first they'll probably get another strong year out of Sweat, who has 29 sacks and 74 QB hits through 59 games. He turns 27 shortly before Week 1 and isn't quite among the elite as a pass rusher, but Sweat at least has proven himself to reliably be an above-average starter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected back for minicamp
Sweat hasn't been participating in Chicago's voluntary practices, but coach Matt Eberflus expects Sweat to be available when mandatory minicamp begins the first week of June, per Adam Jahns of The Athletic. "He's been in the building," Eberflus said of Sweat. "He's been here several times during the offseason, and when he's in, he's locked in and ready to go. Of course, he'll be here next week and we're excited about that."
ANALYSIS
Sweat has remained in contact with the team despite not participating in voluntary workouts, so there's little reason to believe his absence will linger into the mandatory portion of the offseason program. He was traded from Washington to Chicago during the 2023 season and subsequently signed a four-year, $98 million contract with the Bears in November.
