Status quo in 2021 Hitchens tallied 80 tackles (41 solo) over 15 games in 2021.
Impact After playing 945 defensive snaps in 2018, the coaching staff made it a priority to get Hitchens some extra rest in subsequent seasons. His 568 snaps this season are his lowest total since his last season in Dallas back in 2017. While that isn't exactly a good thing from a fantasy standpoint, it does keep the veteran fresh and healthy. Hitchens has one more year remaining on the five-year deal he signed with Kansas City back in 2018.

Impact Hitchens saw an uptick in snaps to 68 percent after having only handled 48 percent in Week 17, resulting in stable production. That said, Hitchens' lack of consistency keeps him from being a confident fantasy play in IDP formats Week 18 at Denver.

Impact Hitchens returned from a two-game absence to record his highest tackle output since Week 2. On the season, the 27-year-old linebacker has totaled 39 tackles through seven appearances, but barring one double-digit tackle outing, he hasn't been a strong IDP play.
