2022 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran edge rusher suited up for only seven games in 2021, but Lawrence still showed flashes of his old form with three sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. When he's healthy, the 30-year-old can be disruptive, and he'll have the benefit of not always being the offense's top blocking priority with Micah Parsons roaming around behind or alongside him. Lawrence hasn't had a double-digit sack season since 2018, however, making him tough to roster in most IDP formats. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Career-high tackle total
Lawrence recorded a career-high 65 tackles (43 solo), including six sacks, through 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added three passes defended, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown Week 5 against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
With Micah Parsons now the main pass-rushing threat for the Cowboys, Lawrence found himself in more of a run-stuffing role, but he still can make an impact in the backfield. Three of his sacks on the season came Week 3 against the Giants, and he also collected one in the divisional-round loss to the 49ers. The 30-year-old has two more years remaining on his current contract, and cutting him would produce a massive dead-cap hit in 2023, so Lawrence figures to see similar usage again in coordinator Dan Quinn's defense next season.

Lawrence's floor and ceiling both are likely harmed by his modest workload — Dallas has aimed to keep him at or below 700 snaps per season his whole career — but on a per-play basis he's one of the league's better defensive ends, and he should have ample pass-rushing opportunities if Dallas' offense remains uptempo and high-scoring. Now in his second season healthy from a shoulder surgery before the 2019 season, Lawrence should be in position for his best IDP output in roughly three years, especially if he plays more snaps with Aldon Smith and Everson Griffen gone.
