2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2020 first-round pick, Kinlaw saw the early part of his career massively impacted by injuries, before rebounding to play all 17 regular-season games for the 49ers in 2023 and again for the Jets in 2024. He even had career highs for tackles (40) and sacks (4.5) last year, inspiring the Commanders to give him a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason. Read Past Outlooks

Kinlaw posted career-high marks across the board while starting all 17 regular-season games with the Jets in 2024, totaling 40 tackles (27 solo), including 4.5 sacks, plus two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He'll form a formidable interior tandem alongside Daron Payne (knee) in Washington, with 2024 second-rounder Jer'Zhan Newton also on hand to contribute after a solid rookie campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2020
Kinlaw signed a one-year, $7.25 million contract with the Jets at the start of free agency, giving Jets head coach Robert Saleh another familiar face from his time as San Francisco's defensive coordinator. The 49ers' first-round pick in 2020 was limited to 10 appearances across the 2021 and 2022 seasons by knee injuries, but Kinlaw suited up for all 17 games in 2023 and posted 3.5 sacks. The 6-5, 319-pound Kinlaw will rotate in as a run stuffer on the interior of the Jets defensive line.

Praised by new DC
Kinlaw was the first player that new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks mentioned in his inaugural press conference Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. "The day that I came in on my interview, he was here working out," Wilks said of Kinlaw. "He has not missed a day of offseason training, so I'm excited to see exactly where he's going to be."
ANALYSIS
San Francisco declined to pick up Kinlaw's fifth-year option, but the 2020 first-round pick is still part of the team's plans on defense and has made a strong first impression on his new coach.
