Cincinnati Bengals
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Bengals are in the next phase of contending, and that entails them deciding which defensive stalwarts they can retain, and which ones will depart. That they re-signed Pratt to a three-year, $21 million deal in March speaks volumes to his improvement. Pratt had a career-high 99 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and 10 passes defensed - after a previous career-high of two passes defended. Pratt's skills in pass coverage will be especially critical after the Bengals lost both starting safeties to free agency. Read Past Outlooks

Career year in 2023
LBCincinnati Bengals
January 14, 2024
Pratt logged 118 total tackles, including seven tackles for loss, and also intercepted two passes in 17 games with the Bengals during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old linebacker has statistically improved in each of his five NFL seasons thus far, setting career highs in total tackles, tackles for loss and sacks (2.0) in 2023. Pratt agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract with the Bengals this past offseason, which will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2025 season. The Bengals seem to have found a nice linebacker tandem, as Logan Wilson and Pratt combined for 253 total tackles this season. Expect Pratt to continue producing at a high level for Cincinnati's defense in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Views self as three-down LB
LBCincinnati Bengals
December 16, 2022
Pratt views himself as a three-down linebacker and wants to play on third downs, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
"I want to play third down," Pratt said. "I'm a three-down linebacker." He added that the desire to play more comes from wanting more opportunities rather than more money. Pratt's generally used on early downs but subs out in passing situations, which is why he has played more than 82 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps only once all season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Pratt took a step forward at middle linebacker in his third season with the Bengals, tallying 91 tackles (including 39 in his last four regular season games), and then clinched the team's Wild Card Round win over the Raiders with an interception in the waning seconds. The Bengals don't ask Pratt to rush the passer very often, so his fantasy upside is capped in all but the deepest of IDP leagues.
Pratt doesn't quite notch enough tackles or do anything else to be an elite IDP linebacker. His 12 tackles in Week 1 were a season high, and he didn't exceed eight tackles in any other week, totaling 89 tackles in 16 games with no sacks, forced or recovered fumbles, or interceptions. He might lead the Bengals' linebacking corps in tackles, but in many IDP leagues he won't have enough production across the board to merit a roster spot.
Pratt is a speedy 2019 third-round pick out of North Carolina State who should contend for a three-down role in the 2020 Cincinnati defense, making him one of the top breakout candidates at linebacker. As long as he holds off one of third-round pick Logan Wilson or fourth-round pick Akeem Davis-Gaither, Pratt will likely push for 900 or more snaps this year. After totaling 76 tackles last year while playing just 443 defensive snaps, Pratt would go into 2020 with a tackle over/under around 125 should he be named starter. Pratt did struggle in coverage as a rookie, though, and both Wilson and Davis-Gaither have talent, so the matter isn't quite settled yet.
