Detroit Lions
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Yet to provide much return on Detroit's second-round investment in 2021, Onwuzurike enters his third season in a rotational role after missing all of 2022 with a back injury. Whether he sees most of his time inside or outside of the defensive line remains to be seen, but expectations should remain in check for the high-pedigree player who first needs to earn a role before commanding any fantasy consideration.

Gets in full practice Thursday

November 16, 2023
Onwuzurike (hip) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Onwuzurike has sat out the Lions' last three games, but he's on track to play in Week 11 after practicing in full Thursday. Come Sunday versus the Bears, he will probably fill a depth role on the interior of Detroit's defensive line.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Onwuzurike is no lock to be ready for Week 1 after injuring his back during training camp. When healthy, the 2021 second-round draft pick should be a key rotational piece along the Lions' defensive line.
A second-round draft pick out of Washington, Onwuzurike could serve a key role at defensive end as the Lions defense primarily transitions to a 3-4 scheme.

Onwuzurike (back) remains in a rehabilitation program and is uncertain to play in 2023, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. "The first thing I'm thinking about, I'm not thinking about the player playing. I'm thinking about the player being healthy.
