2020 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Christmas at the Okwara household this winter may be a little awkward after Julian Okwara was drafted to potentially take over the starting spot his brother, Romeo, currently holds with Detroit. While Romeo will have more of an advantage over the highly-drafted rookie than most veterans usually do - thanks to all the practice time missed due to COVID-19 - Julian clearly appears to be the superior prospect of the two. It might be more of a surprise if Julian doesn't carve out some sort of rotational role before long. Read Past Outlooks

Activated off IR
Okwara was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Okwara has not taken the field since Week 6, as he has been nursing an undisclosed injury. Primarily a reserve and special teams contributor, the defensive end should not be expected to see a ton of action Sunday against the Buccaneers.

The 2020 rookie class features numerous potential IDP standouts, but Chase Young boasts unmatched potential in a loaded Washington pass rush.
Many standout fantasy prospects remain on the board for Friday's second and third rounds of the draft, including Clemson's Tee Higgins.
This three-round mock draft features 10 trades, including one with a franchise-tagged veteran. Jerry Jeudy was one target of those trades, and the first WR off the board.
With the top three receivers expected to go within a few picks of each other, Henry Ruggs is a good bet to go off the board first.
