2022 Fantasy Outlook
Bengals fans were worried when CB William Jackson III departed via free agency, but when Awuzie signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal, little did they know that the Bengals would get superior production (83.3 PFF rating compared to a 59.3 PFF rating for Jackson) at a relative bargain compared to Jackson (three years, $40.5 million). Awuzie exmplifies how the Bengals successfully rebuilt their defense with a handful of targeted, under-the-radar moves. More will be asked of Awuzie in 2022, with the Bengals facing a turbo-charged schedule that includes the Bills, Bucs and Chiefs. Read Past Outlooks

Placed on IR
Cincinnati placed Awuzie (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Awuzie is expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign after tearing his ACL during Cincinnati's Week 8 loss to Cleveland, so his move to IR is simply transactional. In his absence, Mike Hilton, Tre Flowers (hamstring) and Cam Taylor-Britt are all candidates for increased roles opposite Eli Apple.

2017
Awuzie is coming off his best statistical season in the NFL, recording career highs with 79 tackles and 14 passes defended while shaving a few points off the QB rating he allowed in 2018. He's still prone to the occasional big play, however, and there remains chatter around the Cowboys about a switch to safety, where his athleticism might be better suited to attacking the ball rather than chasing after receivers. With Byron Jones gone, though, the team likely needs him more at corner, and the team's wholesale coaching changes on the defensive side of the ball could allow Awuzie to be more aggressive than he was under conservative coordinator Rod Marinelli. With free agency looming next offseason, Awuzie will be looking for a breakout - and a big payday - of his own.
