Fantasy Impact:

Watt reportedly wanted to become the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL, and he reached that mark for the second time in his career. Making $41 million per year, Watt is locked in until his mid-30s, though it is a worthwhile investment for a team trying to win now. He has the most sacks per game since 2021 at nearly one per game (0.99) while being a fumble-forcing playmaker as an outside linebacker.
