The second-year player won the honor after an absolutely dominating start to the season, racking up 20 tackles, 7.5 sacks, five deflected passes and two fumble recoveries as the Texans rode their defense to a 4-0 start.

Fantasy Impact: After a promising rookie year with 5.5 sacks, Watt has exploded onto the fantasy IDP scene this year, establishing himself as one of the best 3-4 ends in football. There’s no way he will keep up this pace (he’s on pace for an amazing 28 sacks, crushing the single-season record), but he’s been a huge boost for Houston D/ST owners and should be starting in all IDP leagues.
