2024 Fantasy Outlook
Even relative to the expectations of being the No. 2 overall pick, Hutchinson has been plenty productive through his first two seasons. He's combined to produce 21 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in 34 games. While his surface stats were nearly identical from 2022 to 2023, both his improved playmaking and peripheral stats make clear that we should expect more from Hutchinson. Most notably, he doubled his quarterback hits (15 to 33), increased his tackles for loss from nine to 14 and also forced three fumbles from his rookie to sophomore campaigns. His ability to get to the quarterback is particularly positive and illustrates his ability to produce at the levels of elite pass rushers around the league, as only T.J. Watt (36) and Nick Bosa (35) logged more quarterback hits than Hutchinson (33). The final piece to the puzzle is the rest of the defensive line supporting him, as Alim McNeil and new addition DJ Reader will occupy offensive lineman and keep double teams away from Hutchinson. Year three has all the makings of a breakout. Read Past Outlooks
Hope for NFC Championship Game
The Lions are holding out hope that Hutchinson (tibia/fibula) could return for the NFC Championship Game, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson is doing underwater running and walking without a cane, both of which are ahead of schedule. Originally the "optimistic timeline" was getting Hutchinson for the Super Bowl, so this is progress at least.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Hutchinson is primed for another productive season after leading the Lions with 9.5 sacks as a rookie. There doesn't seem to be any reason he can't keep logging close to 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps, and he figures to only gain responsibilities in run defense entering his second year. While the Michigan product likely won't be getting three interceptions in a season again, double-digit sacks and an improvement upon the 52 tackles Hutchinson logged last year are fully in the cards.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return for NFC title game
Hutchinson, who has been out since Week 6 due to a fractured left tibia and fibula, is making good progress in his recovery, and the Lions haven't ruled out having him available for the NFC Championship Game should they advance that far, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year edge rusher racked up a massive 7.5 sacks in only five games to begin the season before suffering the severe leg injury in Dallas. Hutchinson has already progressed to underwater running exercises in his rehab, and Detroit coach Dan Campbell left open the possibility of him returning sooner than the Super Bowl, depending on how much practice time he's able to get in. The conference championship games are scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025, giving Hutchinson seven more weeks to finish his rehab in time.
