2024 Fantasy Outlook
The third-year linebacker's first full season as a starter was a mixed bag, as Hoecht put up 6.0 sacks and 81 tackles along with his first two career passes defensed, but he also struggled as a pass rusher. Jared Verse's selection in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft likely will spell the end of Hoecht's time as a starting linebacker, but he still provides valuable, experienced depth in a very young Rams defense and should be the first man up if Verse or Byron Young were to miss any time.

ANALYSIS
Los Angeles placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Hoecht, but he did not receive an offer sheet from another club. The 26-year-old started 17 regular-season games in 2023 and recorded 81 tackles (45 solo) including 6.0 sacks, plus two passes defensed and one forced fumble.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hoecht was moved from defensive end to outside linebacker in the final third of last season, and his production spiked considerably as a result. He closed his final seven games with 34 tackles (21 solo), 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble, and with Leonard Floyd not returning, Hoecht has been promoted to a starting role ahead of 2023. Byron Young, Nick Hampton and Ochaun Mathis were added in the draft to aid the pass rush, but none of the trio should pose a threat to Hoecht's playing time in the short term.
