Expert Note
View More NotesDerrick Barnes was at it again in Week 2, racking up four solos, two assists, one sack, and one tackle for loss on 100 percent of the snaps. If he wasn't before, Barnes has locked himself into the role opposite Jack Campbell, leaving Devn White and Malcolm Rodriguez to soak up WILL snaps when the Lions aren't using nickel looks. Barnes has bullied his way into the LB2 conversation and may not be done yet. For now, treat him as a top-25 option based on his two consecutive LB1-level performances. Add Barnes everywhere.
