2025 Fantasy Outlook
Parsons entered training camp patiently waiting for Jerry Jones to finally sit down and hammer out a massive contract extension, but there's some question that he'll be on the field Week 1 considering he has yet to practice and the two sides haven't made inroads on negotiations. The 26-year-old is arguably the most dangerous quarterback hunter in the league, recording at least 12.0 sacks in all four of his NFL seasons. Parsons will face a bit of a headwind from his new scheme, as defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus hasn't generally overseen dominant pass rushes, but Parsons' elite athleticism and talent are more than enough for him to make an impact in any defense.

Signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers in August of 2025.
Sees increased work vs. Washington
Parsons logged two assisted tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Parsons was limited to just 30 defensive snaps in his Packers debut against the Lions this past Sunday due to a lingering back issue. He was cleared to play Thursday and saw an uptick in playing time, seeing the field for 47 snaps on defense. He combined with Edgerrin Cooper on a 10-yard sack on Jayden Daniels early in the third quarter, and Parsons led both teams with three QB hits. The addition of Parsons has fortified the Packers' defense, which has yielded just 31 points over the first two games of the regular season against teams who made the NFC playoffs in 2024. The Packers' next contest takes place Sunday, Sept. 21 against the Browns in Cleveland, and the additional rest should help Parsons in seeing his snap count on defense increase for a second straight week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Parsons set a new career high with 14.0 sacks last year, but he's been arguably the most consistent pass rusher in the NFL since being drafted 12th overall in 2021, producing 13.0 sacks as a rookie and 13.5 in 2022. Former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn lined him up all over the field looking for mismatches, but it's not yet clear how new DC Mike Zimmer plans to deploy Parsons, or whether the scheme change will have an impact on his numbers. The 25-year-old edge rusher's elite athleticism should allow him to thrive no matter how he's used, however.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May need injection to play
Parsons is dealing with a back injury that could require an epidural to allow him to play Week 1 against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The edge rusher cited a back injury as the reason he wasn't participating in training camp with the Cowboys while also engaged in a contract dispute with the team, and it turned out to be a legitimate issue once he got traded to the Packers, although not one serious enough to scuttle the deal. Given that he joined Green Bay so late, Parsons will likely play limited snaps in the team's season opener if he's able to suit up.
