Sweat first season in Arizona was a mixed bad for IDP managers--the 29-year-old logged a career-high 12 sacks, but just 30 total tackles stole a chunk of that thunder. Sweat's never been a high-tackle guy, and that means variance. But if he can come close to last year's sack numbers and add 10 tackles Sweat can match his top-20 finish in 2025.
