2021 Fantasy Outlook
Ngakoue hasn't made a Pro Bowl since 2017, but he's recorded at least eight sacks during each of his first five seasons in the NFL. The former Jaguar bounced around from Minnesota to Baltimore in 2020, but the Raiders sought Ngakoue out in free agency and ultimately dealt him a two-year contract worth $26 million to bolster their pass rush, which has been a major weakness.

Pair of sacks in loss
Ngakoue posted three tackles (all solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Ngakoue had been held without a sack throughout the first four weeks of the season, but he took down Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields twice Sunday. Ngakoue will look to be disruptive again in Week 6 at Denver.

The Jaguars applied the franchise tag to Ngakoue in March, but the draft came and went without a trade and the two sides entered a stalemate. The 2016 third-round pick -- who has 37.5 sacks and 14 forced fumbles through four seasons -- has been public with his displeasure with Jacksonville's front office, making it difficult to imagine him suiting up for the team again. However, if a trade isn't reached he may find himself in the position of having to decide between absorbing a lost season, or biting the bullet and making the best of the situation. In any event, the Jags already selected his potential replacement K'Lavon Chaisson with the 20th overall pick in April's draft.
