Jeff Haseley
DT15
Payne has one double-digit sack season in his eight-year career and has evened out with a 40-tackle and 4-5 sack upside. He has top-10 status if he can increase the tackles and/or sacks.
Gary Davenport
DT26
Back in 2022, Payne was third in fantasy points among defensive tackles, topping 60 total tackles and adding 11.5 sacks on the way to the Pro Bowl. In the three seasons since, Payne has one 50-tackle year and 11 sacks total. Don't overpay for the past.
