2022 Fantasy Outlook
Brockers yet again put up a respectable tackle total (52) for an interior defensive lineman in 2021, but his lone sack was a relative disappoint after he racked up 13.5 of them over the previous four seasons. However, Brockers will enjoy the benefits of playing within breakout 2021 defensive end Charles Harris and No. 2 overall pick, Aidan Hutchinson, in 2022. Since playing time shouldn't be an issue for the established Brockers, there's plenty of hope that he could make more noise in the backfield while offensive lines have their hands full with his teammates.

Done in Detroit
The Lions released Brockers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
As a result of the move, the Lions are slated to save $10 million against their salary cap for the coming season. The 32-year-old saw a massive decline in his productivity in 2022 considering that he registered just four tackles across the six games he suited up for. Brockers is thus set to become a free agent and is poised to play his twelfth NFL season elsewhere.

A nine-year veteran who has missed just six games in his career, Brockers is a reliable force who might give the Lions what they've needed since releasing Damon Harrison after the 2019 season. Brockers not only played a large role in a Rams defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per carry (3.8) last year, he tied for 10th among defensive tackles with five sacks. Of course, it helps when you line up next to Aaron Donald, but Brockers will have talented teammates in Detroit (Trey Flowers and Romeo Okwara) to garner attention from opposing offenses. Should he stay healthy, Brockers will be in line for a couple dozen tackles and a handful of sacks, despite being on the wrong side of 30.
