Dante Fowler Jr.
DE - Washington Commanders
2024 Outlook
The Washington Commanders are signing Dante Fowler Jr.
Fantasy Impact
Fowler has combined for 10 sacks the past two seasons with the Cowboys. He'll remain in the NFC East where he'll look to help improve the pass rush for the Commanders.
In a one-year that deal that is reported to be worth around $5 million, Dante Fowler signs with the Cowboys after his release from the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
After two years in Atlanta, 27 year-old Fowler Jr. signs for the Dallas Cowboys, promising to be the direct replacement for Randy Gregory who joined the Cleveland Browns this week. After two seasons in Atlanta, Los Angeles and Jacksonville respectively, Fowler still has fantasy value in a team that is poised to challenge for a play-off spot again in the 2022 season.
Free agent linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. is expected to sign with the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
2015's third overall pick will see his third team in his fifth season. He is coming off a monster season for the Rams were he finished second in sacks to Aaron Donald, with 11.5. He added two forced fumbles with one recovery and a touchdown as well as six defended passes. No longer sharing pass-rushing duties with Donald and Clay Matthews, Fowler Jr. will become the primary pass-rusher for the Falcons after they lost Vic Beasley in free agency. Expect to see a slight drop in production as he will be the focal point for the opponent's offensive line.
