Inactive in season finale Blackson ended the season with 22 tackles over 15 games played.

Impact Blackson played nearly 25 snaps per game in a rotational role and posted more than two tackles on just two occasions. Unlike the career year he had with the Bears in 2021, the eight-year veteran posted very similar numbers to what he's produced in four of the last five years. His role and production should remain similar going forward. He's under contract with the team through the 2023 season.

One tackle in victory Blackson recorded one tackle in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

Impact Blackson has played between 28 and 39 snaps in each of Chicago's last six games, but he's only had more than two tackles on one occasion. Although he's the team's starting defensive tackle, his low number of stops makes him a weak IDP option.

Notches sack in finale Blackson tallied a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

Impact In his first year with the Bears, who were the fourth team he's played on in his seven-year career, Blackson went from posting about 20 tackles per year to going over the 40 mark as he rotated with Akiem Hicks. He's signed through 2022 with a void year in 2023, and if Hicks leaves in free agency, Blackson could elevate to the No. 1 role, which will boost his IDP potential.
