2022 Fantasy Outlook
McNeill had a promising rookie season as a key rotational player at nose tackle. With Detroit's move back to a 4-3 alignment in 2022, McNeill should easily clear the 405 defensive snaps he saw as a rookie -- and subsequently a good bet to top the 15 tackles and two sacks he notched over 17 games.

McNeill recorded 41 tackles and one sack over 17 games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
Becoming a building block for the Lions upfront, McNeill also flashed significant upside as an IDP asset (among defensive tackles) during his second season, like in Week 11 against the Giants when he racked up four tackles, one sack and 10 QB pressures -- the most for a 320-plus pound defensive lineman since at least 2006, per Pro Football Focus. The 2021 third-round pick figures to remain a key piece of the Detroit defense in 2023, when McNeill should continue to log upward of 80 percent of the defensive snaps per game.
