2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Josh Paschal in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a four-year, $2.81 million contract with the Lions in June of 2022.
Starts 10 games in third season
DEDetroit Lions
January 29, 2025
Paschal finished the 2024 season with 21 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
With Aidan Hutchinson suffering a broken leg in Week 6 against Dallas, Paschal took on an increased defensive role, starting all 10 games in which he appeared from that point forward. Paschal missed three contests along the way, battling an illness and knee injury. Despite Paschal seeing increased reps off the edge for Detroit, his sack numbers didn't see a boost, as he's recorded a total of 5.0 sacks across his first 36 career contests. It's been a somewhat disappointing start to his career after the Lions took Paschal with the No. 46 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He's set to enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
It was a forgettable rookie year for Paschal, who missed most of last offseason with a sports hernia injury that delayed his professional debut until Week 6. The second-round draft pick ultimately recorded just 16 tackles, two sacks and four quarterback hits over 10 games. Entering the 2023 season, Paschal has rotated in behind starting defensive ends Aidan Hutchinson and Charles Harris during training camp, so there is hope he could see a huge jump in snaps and counting stats in Year 2.
Paschal could have a big role in Detroit in the years to come, but the second-round rookie has missed most team preparations for the 2022 season due to a sports hernia injury that dates back to his days at Kentucky. Even if he works his way back to the field at some point this fall, Paschal's upside is likely some sort of rotational role as a rookie.
