25-Year-Old Defensive EndDE
Philadelphia Eagles
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Sweat, a fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft, was part of the Eagles' defensive end rotation in his first three years in the league, but he stepped into a more important role last season. After Brandon Graham tore his Achilles early in the year, Sweat went on to start 13 games, setting career highs in tackles (45) and sacks (7.5), the latter of which tied for the team lead. Graham is back with the Eagles this season, but he's also 34 years old and coming off a major injury, so Sweat should see plenty of snaps. Read Past Outlooks

Sweat isn't listed on the Eagles' injury report Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Sweat was sidelined for the regular-season finale due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 17, but the Eagles' wild-card bye proved beneficial. The veteran defensive end's omission from the injury report suggests he's put the issue behind him and should be full go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Giants. Sweat posted a career-high 11 sacks this season and is a key piece of Philadelphia's vaunted defensive front.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
In his third year, Sweat had his best campaign yet as a pro, registering 38 tackles and six sacks. Dubbed one of the Eagles' breakout defensive stars of training camp, he could be poised for an even better 2021.
Scouts widely hail the 6-5, 250-pound Sweat as a freakish athlete. He was the No. 1 high school recruit in the nation when he suffered a horrific knee injury that put not only his career in danger, but also future ownership of his leg. Due to league-wide concerns about the knee, the Eagles were able to snag him as a fourth-round draft pick. He'll be able develop under the tutelage of Fletcher Cox, Michael Bennett, Chris Long and company without the pressure of having to contribute right away. However, the rookie succeeds at getting after the quarterback, a major emphasis of defensive coordinator Jim Scwartz's system, so he could very well find himself with regular snaps. The 21-year-old has more than enough talent to pry his way into Philadelphia's rotation at end.
