2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Keeps improving
Hutchinson recorded 51 tackles with 11.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, seven passes defended and one interception over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Quickly ascending to the upper echelon of defensive ends, Hutchinson tied for sixth in sacks and second in pass breakups among all defensive linemen. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was also a force in run defense for a Lions unit that finished near the top of the league in most run-defense metrics, like yards per rush allowed (3.7) and rushing yards per game allowed (88.8). However, an inability to find a pass-rushing complement to the newly minted Pro Bowler has hindered a Lions defense that finished with the ninth-fewest sacks (51) in 2023. It is not unrealistic to think Hutchinson's production could improve if the Lions can find a worthy sidekick this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wild-card candidate for DPOY
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.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.
