2024 Fantasy Outlook
A proven elite right tackle, Sewell will reprise his starting role on an uber-talented Detroit offense. Read Past Outlooks
Good to go vs. Bucs
Sewell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing Detroit's first two practices during the week, Sewell will continue to play through his lingering ankle injury in Week 2. He should see a healthy dose of reps across from both Yaya Diaby and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become league's best RT
Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com believes Sewell could supplant Lane Johnson as the league's best right tackle in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Sewell has the skills to play left tackle at a high level, but he's been deployed on the right side since Detroit already has a solid starter at left tackle in Taylor Decker. Coming off a Pro-Bowl season, Sewell's already among the league's top right tackles. The seventh overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft could be even better in his third year, while the 33-year-old Johnson may start to experience age-related decline after getting the first-team All-Pro nod at right tackle in 2022.
