Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
ANALYSIS
Patriots QB Drake Maye's arm was hit as he was throwing, and Nwosu was able to snag the ball and return it 46 yards for a touchdown, sealing the Seahawks' victory in the fourth quarter. Nwosu had a strong pass-rushing effort despite not recording a sack, too. Through 18 games including the postseason, the veteran edge rusher stacked up 37 tackles (18 solo), 7.0 sacks and three pass breakups. The 30-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract, carrying a $20.0 million cap hit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Following a breakout 2022 season where Nwosu piled up 9.5 sacks and landed a three-year, $45 million contract, the veteran linebacker's season was marred by a pectoral injury that ended his season after six games. The 27-year-old has made a full recovery and is set up well to bounce back now that Boye Mafe has blossomed into a proven pass-rusher on the other side of the line. There's some risk that Nwosu's 2022 campaign was his peak, which could lead to Darrell Taylor and second-year LB Derick Hall to eat into his snaps. But it's more likely Nwosu is the real deal and can approach 10 sacks once again.
Nwosu took advantage of increased opportunity with the Seahawks in 2022, as he posted career highs in tackles (67) and sacks (9.5) while averaging 51.5 defensive snaps per game. He has one year left on his contract and stands to receive a significant increase in pay if he can repeat that effort this season. Nwosu should have every opportunity to do so as long as he can hold off 2022 second-round pick Boye Mafe - who had a mediocre rookie season - and 2023 second-rounder Derick Hall.
Nwosu finally handled a full-time starting role for the Chargers last season and finished with five sacks, 17 QB hits and 30 pressures through 17 games. The 25-year-old was promptly rewarded with a two-year, $20 million bridge deal in Seattle. Darrell Taylor should have a starting edge role locked up, and Nwosu will need to battle veteran Shelby Harris to secure the other side, but rookie second-round pick Boye Mafe eventually could make some noise, too.
Nwosu easily had his best season to date, establishing new career highs in tackles (33), QB hits (11), sacks (4.5) and pass deflections (two). The Chargers are counting on the 24-year-old taking another step forward with longtime pass rusher Melvin Ingram now elsewhere.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets pick-six in Super Bowl LX win
LBSeattle Seahawks
February 8, 2026
Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown as the Seahawks defeated the Patriots, 29-13, to win Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Nwosu had the exclamation point on an outstanding performance by Seattle's defense, corralling one of Drake Maye's many errant passes and returning it 45 yards for a pick-six to give Seattle a 29-7 lead with 4:27 remaining. The 29-year-old linebacker had 7.0 sacks in the regular season, but he had only one interception in 107 career regular-season games prior to his key contribution in Super Bowl LX.
