2023 Fantasy Outlook
Spinal fusion surgery caused the LSU product to plummet to the fifth round in the 2022 draft, but rather than sitting out his entire rookie year as was widely expected, Clark played 10 games and set a Next Gen Stats record in his NFL debut for the top sprint speed ever recorded by a linebacker. With Micah Parsons lining up all over the defense, Clark should slot into a starting role, and his elite speed could make him an IDP sleeper. Read Past Outlooks
Career-high 109 tackles in 2023
Clark recorded a career-high 109 tackles (70 solo) while adding three passes defended and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
He added eight more stops in a wild-card loss to the Packers. A fifth-round pick in 2022 due to back surgery that significantly impacted his draft stock, Clark looked 100 percent recovered as he played in every game for the Cowboys and took over an every-down role for most of the year. Leighton Vander Esch still has one season left on his contract, but he played only five games in 2023 and would be an easy cut to save cap space, potentially putting the speedy Clark in a starting role right from Week 1 next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see expanded role in 2023
Leighton Vander Esch and the Cowboys haven't made any progress in contract talks, per Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, which could leave Clark as Dallas' starting middle linebacker in 2023.
ANALYSIS
If Vander Esch leaves in free agency, Clark would be in position to ascend to the top of the depth chart. The Cowboys have holes to fill at other positions and may be willing to roll with Clark as their starter at middle linebacker after the 2022 fifth-round pick posted 47 tackles in just 10 games as a rookie, including five starts.
