2020 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
It is no surprise that the Steelers exercised Watt's fifth-year team option for 2021 following a second-straight Pro Bowl performance last season. Arguably the lynchpin of a defense that led the league in sacks and takeaways, while also allowing the fifth-fewest yards and points, he recorded a career-high 14.5 sacks -- fourth most in the league -- to go with a league-leading eight forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions. There is nothing to suggest a regression in 2020, making the 25-year old linebacker a top five IDP selection in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks

Piles up 2.5 sacks
Watt recorded four tackles and 2.5 sacks in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Watt was impressive in coverage Week 1, recording two pass breakups and an interception against the Giants, but he was unleashed as a pass rusher versus the Broncos. This was his highest sack count in a game since Week 5 of the 2018 season, and the 25-year-old now has 37 sacks over 49 career games. Watt has an intriguing opportunity on tap Week 3 against the Texans, as Deshaun Watson has been dropped four times in both of his first two games.

2018
Watt's sophomore season was even better than his rookie campaign. He was among the top-10 in sacks in the league, finishing with a team-high 13 in the category. Watt also forced six fumbles, second only to Dee Ford and brother J.J. with seven each. Only 24 years old to start the 2019 season Watt, who logged 68 tackles in 2018, is an elite athlete, who remains firmly on the IDP radar.
