First-rounder regressed to rookie sack total; limited tackle production.

George KarlaftisDL

2022 first-round pick has regressed each year since his second season (10 sacks); matched his career-low 6 sacks in 2025, the same total from his rookie year. Light tackle totals (never reached 30 solo or 50 combined stops in a season) and risky sack numbers make him a risky fantasy option with limited upside.
