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
Officially placed on IR
The Lions placed Hutchinson (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Hutchinson will be out for the rest of the regular season after fracturing his left tibia and fibula during Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Hutchinson is expected to be out of action for 4-to-6 months following surgery Sunday, meaning that a return during the postseason, however unlikely, is not off the table, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. The Lions intend to sign Isaiah Thomas off the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday to the active roster, and he will provide depth on the edge behind Josh Paschal and James Houston.

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
Another big game on horizon?
Hutchinson, who tallied 4.5 sacks against the Buccaneers in Week 2, could be in line for another big performance against the Cardinals in Week 3 due to Arizona right tackle Kelvin Beachum in jeopardy of not playing due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beachum went from a limited participant in Thursday's practice to a DNP on Friday, which puts his status for Sunday's game in the air. Jackson Barton, a 2019 seventh-round pick, would be the top candidate to start at right tackle if Beachum can't play, which would create an exploitable matchup that Hutchinson and the Lions' defense can take advantage of. Hutchinson's 4.5 sacks in Week 2 against the Buccaneers were second-most in Lions' franchise history behind Bill Gay's 5.5 sacks in 1983.
