Summary

Once is an outlier, twice is a trend. Have the days of DeMarcus Lawrence's pass rush dominance ended? Pundits explained away his 5-sack tally in 2019 as an anomaly in an otherwise pristine track record. But last year, he only notched 6.5 sacks, leaving him with 11.5 over two seasons. While that's a solid number for most defensive ends, it's well short of the 26.5 sacks he accumulated in 2017-2018. The underlying metrics still point toward dominance, as Lawrence is among the league leaders in quarterback pressures and is a plus run defender. But fantasy managers need sacks to justify a high draft pick.
