2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries have been the story of Overshown's career so far. After missing his entire draft year in 2023 due to a torn ACL in his left knee, he blew out his right knee in Week 14 last season and will likely remain sidelined to begin the 2025 campaign. Overshown has flashed elite upside and athleticism, though, collecting 90 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, in only 13 games. New defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has a track record of turning players like Overshown into IDP monsters, but first the 24-year-old will need to prove he can stay on the field.

Signed a four-year, $5.39 million contract with the Cowboys in May of 2023.
Believes he's more explosive
Overshown said this week that his athletic testing numbers are actually better than they were prior to last year's knee surgery, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. "Stronger, faster, can jump higher, more explosive," the linebacker said. "You name it, I'm all of it. My game is not going to slow down."
ANALYSIS
The 2023 third-round pick has had trouble staying healthy in his NFL career, as surgeries on each knee have limited him to just 13 regular-season contests, all of them coming in 2024. Overshown was incredibly productive when on the field though, racking up 90 tackles (56 solo) including 5.0 sacks and recording four passes defended, one of which he turned into a 23-yard interception return for a touchdown in a Thanksgiving win over the Giants. He's not expected to make his 2025 debut until Week 11 against the Raiders, another prime time game on Monday Night Football, but Overshown figures to make an immediate IDP impact when he does in Matt Eberflus' very LB-friendly defensive scheme.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Overshown appears poised for a big role with the Cowboys as a rookie after being selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft, but a torn ACL cost him his entire rookie season. Fully recovered heading into training camp, the Texas product has strong coverage skills and can fly to the ball, but he'll compete with 2024 third-round pick Marist Liufau for a starting spot at linebacker alongside Eric Kendricks and Damone Clark.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Recovery going well
Overshown received a positive check-up last week as he continues his recovery from knee surgery, and the linebacker remains optimistic he'll be able to play by midseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 third-round pick tore multiple ligaments in his right knee last December, the second major injury he's suffered in his career after he missed his entire rookie campaign due to a torn ACL in his left knee. Overshown will begin the 2025 season on the PUP list, and a firmer date for his return should come into focus as his rehab progresses.
