2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilkins emerged as an elite run defender in 2021 and 2022, but like most interior defensive linemen, he didn't have much production in terms of getting to the quarterback. That all changed in 2023 when he posted a career-high nine sacks in a contract year. Though there's some reason to be wary about that increased production, there's also plenty to indicate Wilkins can at least come close to replicating his ability to get after the quarterback in 2024 after landing a massive deal in free agency with Las Vegas. First is his role. Last year was his breakout in terms of stats, but his role truly changed in 2022 when he was in a pass-rushing role on a career-high 587 snaps (per PFF). Given that the Raiders invested $110 million to land Wilkins, they surely won't be looking to cut back on his responsibilities. The change of scenery should also be beneficial to Wilkins because Maxx Crosby is among the better run-stopping ends in the league, which should free up defensive coordinator Patrick Graham to scheme creative pass rushes for Wilkins. That puts him in position to be one of the most productive interior linemen in the league. Read Past Outlooks
Goes on IR as expected
Wilkins (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wilkins' move to IR shouldn't come as a surprise as he already underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a Jones Fracture in his foot. The Clemson product is expected to be facing an extended absence, although a firm timeline isn't yet available. His placement on injured reserve will guarantee he misses at least the Raiders' next four games though.

2019
One of the league's top defensive tackles, Wilkins has racked up linebacker-like tackle numbers the last two seasons with 187 in 34 games, adding eight sacks, 10 passes defended, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for good measure. The switch from Josh Boyer to Vic Fangio at defensive coordinator could impact Wilkins' role up front, but the 13th overall pick in the 2019 draft is more than athletic enough to stay on the field for passing downs, playing a career-high 903 defensive snaps in 2022. Fangio has gotten big years out of lesser DTs, and he could find new ways to exploit Wilkins' talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could propel Raiders in '24
Wilkins, who signed with the Raiders as a free agent this offseason, may prove a critical enough addition to help Las Vegas overcome the Chiefs for the AFC West crown, Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Brooks points out how the Raiders were able to top the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day last season and that Las Vegas' defense finished in the top half of the league in both points and yards allowed. Adding Wilkins to the Maxx Crosby-led unit could be a tipping point in Brooks's view, given Wilkins' slew of pass-rush moves and the fact he should free up Crosby and other members of the defensive line for more one-on-one matchups.
