Detroit Lions
2022 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a four-year, $2.81 million contract with the Lions in June of 2022.
Two sacks during rookie season
DEDetroit Lions
February 4, 2023
Paschal recorded 16 tackles and two sacks over 10 games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
While a sports hernia injury delayed the debut of the second-round rookie out of Kentucky, Paschal handled over 81 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his first three career games only to suffer a knee injury in Week 10. After returning in Week 13 -- one week after James Houston burst onto the scene -- Paschal topped 28 percent of the defensive snaps only once, though he did flash his upside during with a two-sack performance in Week 16 against the Panthers. It's not clear how the edge rotation will look in 2023, but Paschal figures to be a key piece of an improving Detroit defensive front one way or the other.
