2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mike Vrabel's commitment to the 3-4 defense is admirable, but it's keeping Simmons from being the dominant pass rusher his physical tools say he should be. Even so, the 19th overall pick in the 2019 draft has 16 sacks in 32 games the last two seasons, impressive production for a 3-4 defensive end. He's also topped 50 tackles each of those two years, giving him a solid fantasy floor when the sacks aren't coming. The return of Harold Landry gives Simmons more help off the edge, potentially freeing him up to reach double-digit sacks for the first time. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
As a 3-4 defensive end it will be tough for Simmons to keep pace with his 4-3 counterparts, though he’s the rare type of talent who can disrupt consistently from the interior even while facing double teams. That especially became true during Simmons’ breakout 2021 season, when he produced 8.5 sacks on 883 snaps after producing only five sacks in the prior 1,157 snaps.
Simmons was off to a fast start in his 2019 rookie year, producing 32 tackles and two sacks on just 318 snaps, but his per-snap production fell a bit in 2020, his age-23 season. Although Simmons' snap count more than doubled, his tackle total barely improved, and he produced just one additional sack on the extra 521 snaps. He played through ankle and knee troubles and went on the COVID-19 List. Now that he's heading into his third season, Simmons might retain his new snap volume while regaining some lost efficiency, hopefully setting the stage for a breakout.
Simmons made his debut Week 7 following his offseason ACL tear, and the Mississippi State product immediately made clear why the Titans spent the 19th overall selection despite that injury. Including the playoffs, he would go on to post 35 tackles and two sacks in 400 snaps. Now about a year and a half removed from his ACL tear and with Jurrell Casey shipped off to Denver, Simmons is a candidate to play 800 or more snaps in 2020. Simmons exceeded 60 tackles in each of his last two seasons at Mississippi State, both of them 13-game seasons, and he looks like a good bet to exceed that figure in his second NFL season, too.
