Summary

Only in Washington could Montez Sweat be the fourth-best defensive lineman. The third-year edge rusher matched his stellar rookie season (50 tackles, 7 sacks) with another banner year in 2020 (46 tackles, 9 sacks) and fell just short of teammate Chase Young in IDP leagues. As the No. 8 fantasy lineman last year, Sweat has one of the highest floors at the position, and it shouldn't surprise anyone if he slightly edges out his more heralded teammates as a fantasy value.
