Aidan Hutchinson 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Myles Garrett-Level Potential
This will be Aidan Hutchinson's age 26 season and he already has two double-digit sacks seasons on his resume. Amongst defensive linemen with at least 140 pass rush snaps, Hutchinson has finished top-six in pass rush win rate and pressure rate each of the past three seasons. In fact, the Michigan alum's quarterback pressure rate last year (16.1%) was almost identical to Myles Garrett's (16.5%), while the two were strikingly similar in 2023 as well (16.8% pressure rate for Hutchinson to Garrett's 17%). Even better, Hutchinson's pressure rate in his injury-shortened 2024 campaign was nearly double that of Garrett's, as the former Wolverine led the NFL in pass rush win rate by 15% while recording over half the quarterback pressures (45) of the NFL leader (89) in just five games. None of this is to say Hutchinson is better than Garrett, of course. However, the same data that suggested Garrett's record-breaking season was inevitable is the same data suggesting Hutchinson is due as well. Given that the Lion is currently being drafted as DL9 overall, he may be the best bargain amongst all defenders this season.
