2023 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran followed Dan Quinn to Dallas and proved to be a solid addition to the Cowboys' pass rush, racking up six sacks in 2022 in only 329 snaps. Fowler was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft but aside from a big 2019 campaign with the Rams, he's never lived up to that billing. Instead, he'll join DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong and San Williams as complementary pieces behind Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Switching NFC East teams
Fowler is slated to sign with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Fowler will join the migration of Cowboys defenders joining new Commanders head coach Dan Quinn in Washington. The 29-year-old spent the last two seasons in Dallas, not missing a single game and recording 10.0 sacks in the process. He should bolster the team's depth on the edges next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jettisoned in Atlanta
Fowler was released by the Falcons on Wednesday with two seasons remaining on his contract, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old likely won't have much trouble finding willing suitors in the open market, but he'll almost certainly have to settle for a relatively modest contract. Fowler arrived in Atlanta prior to the 2020 season with plenty of momentum after posting a career-high 11.5 sacks with the Rams in 2019, but he finished his Falcons tenure with just 59 tackles and 7.5 sacks over 28 games.

A big-ticket free-agent acquisition last offseason, Fowler disappointed in his first year with the Falcons, recording just three sacks in 14 games. The third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, he has only one season with double-digit sacks on his resume and could become a cap casualty as soon as next year if he's unable to prove his 11.5 sacks with the Rams in 2019 wasn't a fluke.
