2024 Projections
Strong rookie season
Campbell recorded 95 tackles, 2.0 sacks and one pass defended over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Campbell seemed ticketed for a starting job alongside Alex Anzalone after Detroit spent a first-round pick on Campbell, an off-ball linebacker, in the 2023 NFL Draft. While 2021 fourth-rounder Derrick Barnes opened the year in the starting lineup, both Campbell and Barnes ended the season having logged around 60 percent of the defensive snaps, and Campbell joined Anzalone in the starting lineup for 11 of the final 12 games while Barnes started only eight of those contests (while missing one game to injury). Thanks in part to a larger role on special teams, Campbell ultimately averaged half of a tackle more per game than Barnes along with one more sack and a pass breakup. With plenty of room to grow from a playing-time standpoint combined with Barnes entering the final year of his contract, the 23-year-old Campbell is a strong bet to be in Detroit's long-term plans and is a realistic candidate to have a bigger role entering his second season in the league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could shift into middle
Campbell was referred to as a middle linebacker by Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn during OTAs last week, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 18th overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Campbell mostly played an off-ball role as a rookie and recorded 95 tackles over 17 games. Veteran Alex Anzalone has handled duties in the middle over the last two seasons and produced 125 tackles or more in each campaign, but Detroit would seem to prefer having the younger and more athletic Campbell in that role in 2024, potentially setting the Iowa product up for a breakout season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Campbell joins the fold in Detroit and figures to see plenty of playing time before long, especially within an organization that gave a sixth-round rookie in Malcolm Rodriguez more than half of the defensive snaps from the get-go last year. However, even if Campbell can quickly supplant Rodriguez as the second linebacker behind Alex Anzalone, it's fair to wonder if both he and his new mentor can co-exist as significant IDP contributors.
