2021 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton made a name for himself as a rookie despite going undrafted, ultimately claiming more snaps than Derrick Nnadi alongside star defensive tackle Chris Jones. Wharton used the snaps to accumulate 27 tackles (14 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble, but he faces even more competition in 2021 following the team's offseason addition of Jarran Reed.
