2024 Fantasy Outlook
Luvu is a key piece of Washington's defensive makeover under new coach Dan Quinn, coming over from Carolina after his two seasons as a full-time starter yielded 236 tackles and 12.5 sacks. His background as an edge rusher has been evident in his massive pass-rushing production as a blitzing off-ball linebacker, and it now seems borderline criminal that Luvu spent the first four years of his career coming off the bench. That won't be an issue in Washington, though he'll probably only be the second- or third-leading tackler for a defense that also signed LB Bobby Wagner and S Jeremy Chinn this spring.

Healthy again
Luvu (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker missed a June minicamp session with what looked like an ankle injury, but now he seems healthy and good to go. Luvu signed a three-year, $31-million deal with the Commanders in March and is slated for a big role inside alongside Bobby Wagner. The seventh-year pro recorded 125 tackles, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles with the Panthers in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After never totaling more than 43 tackles in any of his first four pro seasons, Luvu enjoyed a breakout 2022 campaign. Despite missing two games, he registered 111 stops to go with seven sacks - both marks were second on the Panthers - and defended four passes, including a pick-six. In 2023, he faces a transition to new coordinator Ejiro Evero's 3-4 scheme, but Luvu is slated to start alongside Shaq Thompson at inside linebacker. Whether he can reproduce last year's success remains to be seen, but Luvu's stock nonetheless has never been higher.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On track for first Pro Bowl?
Coming off a career season, Luvu figures to be on track to earn a spot on the 2024 Pro Bowl roster for the first time in his career, Conor Orr of SI.com argues.
ANALYSIS
After splitting his snaps between defense and special teams over the first four years of his career, Luvu registered 100-plus tackles in each of the last two years as a full-time starter, including a career-high 125 tackles, along with 5.5 sacks, five pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 2023. Luvu signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Commanders in March, and he will play alongside veteran Bobby Wagner at inside linebacker and under head coach Dan Quinn, who spent the last three seasons leading a dominant Cowboys defense as the defensive coordinator.
