2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tavai finished the 2024 regular season with a team-high 115 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception in 17 games. The 28-year-old is under contract with New England through 2027, but his production could take a hit this year, given that veteran every-down linebacker Robert Spillane was added to the mix this offseason.

Cleared to make 2025 debut
Tavai (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Tavai was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 second-rounder has been cleared to make his 2025 debut in Sunday's AFC East tilt. Tavai tallied 100-plus tackles in each of the last two seasons but will likely work in a rotational role at inside linebacker with Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss.

Tavai recorded a career-high 110 tackles to go along with two interceptions and a sack in 17 games with the Patriots during the 2023 regular season. In the process, the 27-year-old - who joined the league as a second-round pick of the Lions in 2019 - took a step forward as a hybrid ILB/OLB for the team. He's slated to reprise that role in a defense that now will be led by new coordinator DeMarcus Covington.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nabs extension from Pats
Tavai, who recorded a career-high 110 tackles in 2023, agreed to a three-year extension with the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tavai tied for the second-most tackles on the Patriots in 2023, helping him earn a deal that could be worth up to $21 million. The emerging linebacker began his career ascent when he joined New England in 2021 after two years with the Lions, and he's proven highly durable by appearing in all 17 regular-season games in both of the last two campaigns.
