2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sherwood appeared in all 17 games for the Jets in 2023 but posted just 46 tackles (28 solo). C.J. Mosley and Quincy Williams are locked into starting linebacker roles, and because the Jets' base defense is a nickel set with three cornerbacks, the team rarely puts a third traditional linebacker on the field, which is why Sherwood didn't play more than 38 percent of defensive snaps in any game last season. Sherwood will likely remain in a reserve role in 2024 barring an injury to Mosley or Williams. Read Past Outlooks

Leading tackler in Week 16
LBNew York Jets
December 23, 2024
Sherwood recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Sherwood has now led the Jets' defense in tackles over each of their last three games, accumulating 35 total stops over that span. The fourth-year pro from Auburn has taken a huge step forward this season, setting career highs in total tackles (142), sacks (2.0) and passes defended (two) over 15 appearances. Expect Sherwood to remain one of the NFL's top tacklers and continue making plays as the Jets face the Bills in Week 17.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Sherwood is poised to step into a starting role unless the Jets bolster their linebacker depth prior to the season. The 2021 fifth-round pick out of Auburn made four starts as a rookie before suffering a season-ending Achilles tear, then occupied a reserve role in 2022 while appearing in every game. Sherwood has 31 tackles in his NFL career.
Sherwood will look to carve out a role with Gang Green after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. He excelled as a box safety at Auburn, but there are questions about Sherwood's coverage ability due to his lack of speed.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Boasts key intangible
LBNew York Jets
June 24, 2022
Connor Hughes of The Athletic believes Sherwood's communication skills will help him secure a roster spot with the Jets in 2022.
ANALYSIS
Sherwood had just 14 tackles in five games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending Achilles tear, but Hughes believes the 2021 fifth-round pick out of Auburn will make the team out of camp as the backup to C.J. Mosley at middle linebacker. New York is enthralled with the converted safety's potential as a linebacker, and according to Hughes, Sherwood's communication skills make him an ideal "Mike" linebacker, as he can handle the responsibility of quarterbacking the defense.
