DeForest Buckner 2023 NFL Player Outlook: A Top-Three DT In Position-Specific Leagues
1 year agoAmongst defensive tackles, few are more productive year after year than the Indianapolis Colts' interior lineman DeForest Bucker. Buckner has made over 60 combined tackles in six of his seven seasons in the NFL. That consistently puts him as one of football's top three defensive tackles. He also makes a high number of sacks for a defensive tackle. Buckner has made between 7.0 and 12.0 sacks in the past five seasons. Last season, he made 8.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three pass defenses. Buckner's sack numbers don't stack up with top defensive ends and outside linebackers, but he frequently ranks amongst the top five for defensive tackles. So Buckner is most valuable in position-specific leagues that require you to start a player at the DT position.
