Alim McNeill A Possible Sleeper in Week 5

one year ago

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill is a quality sleeper candidate in a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. McNeill, a 2021 third-round draft pick, has broken out, making a sack in each of the past two games. His two sacks tie his career high. He is averaging 29 pass rush snaps per game, about five more than last season. Although he may not sustain his 25% pressure-to-sack rate the whole season, he is still worth a start in position-specific IDP leagues in Week 5 against a weak Panthers' offensive line. The Panthers have allowed pressure on 28% of their passing plays, the sixth-highest rate in the league, and they have allowed the eighth-most sacks.
