2022 Fantasy Outlook
Few players benefited more than Anzalone did from Detroit's offseason switch to a 4-3 base defense. Seemingly locked into a coveted role at middle linebacker that doesn't exist in all defenses, Anzalone could be a tackle machine behind an improving Lions defensive line that features Michael Brockers and 2022 second overall pick Aidan Hutchinson. While those in dynasty leagues will want to keep in mind that Malcolm Rodriguez or Derrick Barnes could be the future of the position in Motown, the job should be Anzalone's to lose entering the coming campaign.

Agrees to extension
The Lions re-signed Anzalone to a three-year, $18.75 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After racking up a career-high 125 tackles this past season, Anzalone has seemingly earned himself a few more years as Detroit's starting middle linebacker following Monday's signing. The 28-year-old was also made available for all 17 games in 2023.
