T.J. Watt

Watt was excellent in Week 9, tallying one solo, two assists, one sack, one tackle for loss, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. Watt is up to five sacks on the season, but this was his first full sack since Week 4. Though still elite, Watt is no longer locked in as a top-three option but is still a surefire top-10 DL option. Tap T.J. as a DL1 for a plus Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt signed a three-year extension to remain in the Steel City, earning $123 million with $108 million guaranteed at signing.

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.
