2025 Fantasy Outlook
Selected 36th overall last spring, Newton started 11 of his 16 regular-season games as a rookie, recording 44 tackles (six TFLs) and 2.0 sacks. It was a solid showing, but there's some risk he gets moved to a bench role or is subbed out frequently after the Commanders gave Javon Kinlaw a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $9.76 million contract with the Commanders in June of 2024.
Records second sack of season
Newton recorded four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during Monday's loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Newton put together his best game of the season from a statistical standpoint during Monday's loss, one of the lone bright spots for the Commanders. He was briefly forced out of action due to an ankle issue Monday but managed to retake the field. The second-year defensive tackle will continue to progress in his development while operating as the top reserve man behind Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw versus Seattle in Week 9.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Makes Brooks' All-Breakout Team
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com has Newton as the defensive tackle on his 2025 All-Breakout Team.
ANALYSIS
A second-round pick out of Illinois in 2024, Newton was already impressive as a rookie with 44 total tackles, including seven quarterback hits and 2.0 sacks, a pass defensed, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble over 16 regular-season games. However, Brooks feels Newton could take another significant step forward in his second season, citing the fact he should have more responsibility and freedom in head coach Dan Quinn's scheme and become the designated playmaker on the defensive front with his ability to disrupt at the point of attack.
