Limited by injury in 2024
Anzalone finished the 2024 regular season with 63 total tackles (43 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and also added five passes defensed over 10 games.
ANALYSIS
Anzalone was a crucial piece of Detroit's defensive identity in 2024, but he suffered a broken forearm injury in Week 11 versus the Lions, which sidelined him for six contests. The linebacker saw a dip in overall production as a result of the injury, while second-year player Jack Campbell also emerged as the team's most consistent option at middle linebacker throughout the season. Anzalone is still under contract with the Lions for one more season in 2025 and he'll look to get back on track after producing back-to-back seasons with at least 125 tackles in 2022 and 2023.

Anzalone is coming off of an impressive 2023 campaign with the Lions, securing a career-high 129 tackles (85 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while also deflecting six passes and recovering a fumble over 16 games. The 29-year-old operated as the team's primary middle linebacker last season and likely will remain in that role, working alongside fellow linebackers Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes in 2024. Anzalone has averaged 127 tackles per campaign while playing nearly 2,000 defensive snaps over the last two years in Detroit, making him a safe bet for consistent production again this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most underrated on Lions
Anzalone is considered the Lions' most underappreciated player by Tom Blair of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps because Anzalone didn't truly come into his own until his sixth pro season, he's not generally mentioned when the top tier of linebackers are discussed. However, Blair notes Anzalone is valued highly within the organization after registering back-to-back 120-plus tackle seasons and logging a career high of three sacks in 2023.
