2021 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Donald is likely the most feared defender in the NFL, though as a defensive tackle he has a more difficult path to IDP production than the typical defensive end. It's a testament to his inimitable talent that he places this high anyway, and it was only two years ago that he totaled 59 tackles and 20.5 sacks. It would be particularly good for Donald's IDP purposes if the Rams offense could bounce back to its 2018 level, but if it can't then he might not have quite as many pass-rushing opportunities as he did in his 20-sack season. Still, Donald is a lock for 900 or more snaps if he stays healthy, meaning he could offset any decline in sacks with an uptick of tackle production in run defense if teams throw less against the Rams.

Turns in another dominant year
Donald finished the 2020 regular season with 45 tackles (27 solo), 13.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 games.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro defensive tackle came through with another banner year, with his efforts playing a major part in the Los Angeles defense allowing the fewest yards and points per game in the league. There's no reason to expect Donald's fantasy production to slip in 2021, and he should be considered one of the best options at his position again next draft season.

Donald is pretty much beyond words. The glory days of pass-rushing defensive tackles have been gone for about 20 years now, and even in those days Warren Sapp and John Randle still never approached 20 sacks, which Donald managed to do on 916 snaps last year. It seems like an unsustainable sack rate, but much of what Donald does is supposed to be impossible, and yearly improvement has been a consistent theme with him. Expect some regression, but it's probably best to give Donald the benefit of the doubt until his production more obviously stabilizes.
