2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 second-round pick, Ebiketie recorded a career-high six sacks in 2023 despite fewer defensive snaps than he had as a rookie. Under new HC Raheem Morris, the Falcons are shifting to a 3-4 defense, and while he's slated to be a starter, Ebiketie will have to prove he can handle a more versatile role in 2024. Ebiketie is slated to start opposite recently-acquired OLB Matthew Judon. Read Past Outlooks

Still No. 1 on depth chart
LBAtlanta Falcons
August 21, 2024
Ebiketie is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers on the Falcons' official depth chart, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta made a splash late in training camp by signing Justin Simmons and trading for Matthew Judon. Both newcomers are listed as backups on the depth chart, but that's expected to change once they get acclimated to the Falcons' system. Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter are expected to compete for the other starting outside linebacker spot when Judon is up to full speed.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
A 2022 second-round pick, Ebiketie recorded 30 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass defenses across 16 appearances (497 defensive snaps) as a rookie. The Penn State product is expected to be a rotational piece again after the Falcons added Bud Dupree this offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the 24-year-old carve out a few more snaps per game in Year 2.
Ebiketie was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 38th overall. The defensive end registered 9.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss across 12 games during his final collegiate campaign with Penn State after posting four tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss in six games for Temple the year prior. The Falcons have invested heavily in their offense over the last two offseasons, but Ebiketie is the rare defensive acquisition and has a shot at being one of Atlanta's best defenders in short order.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could face demotion in 2024
LBAtlanta Falcons
August 7, 2024
Ebiketie has practiced primarily as a rotational pass rusher with the second-team defense to begin training camp, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Ebiketie had six sacks in 2023, but his run defense is suspect, as the speedy rusher is undersized at around 250 pounds. The Falcons made an effort to get bigger in the front seven in the offseason, and Ebiketie has been ceding the majority of first-team snaps to 2024 third-round draft pick Bralen Trice.
