Sack Monster, T.J. Watt Poised to Lead NFL in That Category Again

When it comes to sacks there’s only been one player who’s dominated that category over the

last four seasons, T.J. Watt. The Steelers edge has led the league three times, and the one

season he didn’t, he missed seven games because of an injury. He should be in contention

again for the title, but there are a couple of others who could take top spot, with better odds.

T.J.Watt PIT +400

Since 2020, T.J. Watt has racked up 63.5 sacks and there’s no reason he’ll slow down next

season. Watt could see more opportunities to deliver if the Steelers are playing with a lead, and

that’s something that could be different with Russell Wilson or Justin Fields at the helm. Watt

played 930 snaps last year and recorded 19 sacks. Despite his numbers, there could be better

value elsewhere.

Micah Parsons DAL +450

Micah Parsons is turning into one of the best defensive players in the game. Last year, he

recorded 14 sacks including at least one in ten games. Since coming into the NFL Parsons has

40.5 sacks over three seasons. With more experience, he could reach newer heights in 2024.

Parsons led the league in pressures with 103 and should get more chances to sack the

quarterbacks.

Maxx Crosby – Raiders +550

Maxx Crosby has been incredible for the Raiders. Last season he posted 14.5 sacks on a team

that wasn’t very good. Las Vegas will likely have enough touch seasons meaning the

opponents will run more often, which will give Crosby fewer chances for sacks. He’ll get

pressure on the quarterback but not sure he’ll be near the top of the standings in this category.

Josh Hines-Allen Jaguars +1000

Maybe a name change is what Josh Hines-Allen needs to finish with most sacks. Hines-Allen

had 27.5 sacks over 57 games in his first three years in the league. Last season, he finished

with a career-best 17.5. That puts him in the conversation as his sacks come in bunches, two

or more in five games, and three, three times during the season.
