Ezekiel Ansah
DE - DET
2017 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesAnsah was one of fantasy's biggest busts last year on the IDP side, posting just two sacks all season with his first one not coming until Week 15. That's a far cry from the 14.5 sacks he had the year prior which made him a consensus top 5 DL pick entering 2016 drafts. I'm considering last year an anamoly though - Ansah is just 27 and entering into his prime and you could see him returning to form late in the season after the injuries faded. He has top 3 potential and will likely become a strong value pick in 2017 due to his abysmal performance last year.

Ezekiel Ansah is in his first full NFL offseason after sitting out last year's minicamp with a shoulder injury.
Fantasy Impact
Turning 26 in May, Ansah has 15.5 sacks and 20 quarterback hits through two seasons in the NFL. He has the upside to be one of the league's top pass rushers, possibly as soon as next season.
