Mario Addison Fantasy

Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison weighs 255 pounds this year due to better eating habits after weighing 265 pounds in 2018. With Carolina moving to a hybrid defense that will feature more 3-4 in 2019, Addison may be asked to drop back in coverage more often. Addison is very athletic, but dropping into coverage more will likely hurt his overall sack total. He has at least tied for the team lead in sacks each of the last three years and had 9.5 in 2018, although only 1.5 of them came in the second half. Don't be surprised if the 31-year-old disappoints in the sack department with the team's move to a hybrid defense.

The Carolina Panthers re-signed defensive end Mario Addison to a three-year, $22.5 million deal Sunday, according to a source. Addison was one of the lone bright spots in Carolina's disappointing 2016 and led the team with 9.5 sacks. He also combined for a career-high 27 total tackles with one fumble recovery. Addison is one of the best rising pass rushers in the NFL and will command top dollar in IDP drafts in 2017.
