Myles Garrett 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Consistently Dominates the NFL but Not Fantasy
Myles Garrett broke the NFL sack record last year, yet his pass rush win rate wasn't much different than previous seasons. In fact, Garrett fell to second in pass rush win rate last year after leading the NFL in that category for three straight seasons. In other words, Garrett is a consistently elite pass rusher, but that does not always translate into fantasy dominance. While the former Brown outpaced all other defenders by 22.1 Standard IDP points last season, his former career bests were 16 sacks and a DL5 overall finish in Standard IDP Scoring. In his two seasons prior to his record-breaking 2025 season, Garrett finished as DL6 and DL8 respectively. That is because he is not dominant in the tackle or pass deflection categories where other edges round out their totals. While the Rams could help Garrett turn pressures into sacks more consistently, it is unlikely he will break the sack record again and he has not shown the ability to dominate in other key fantasy categories. Thus, it is fair to consider Garrett a risk as the #1 defender in fantasy drafts, but his on-field performance and dominant 2025 season make it hard to fade him far.
