Granderson served as a rotational lineman for the first four years of his career, having started only seven combined games in that span. However, after the Saints parted ways with Marcus Davenport heading into the 2023 campaign, Granderson immediately did a better job of providing the team with the production they hoped to get from Davenport. He was disruptive to the opposing offense as both a pass rusher (20 QB hits; 8.5 sacks) and run stopper (14 tackles for loss) and quickly established himself as one of the better edge players in the league. Perhaps he loses a few snaps in 2024 relative to last season due to the Saints' offseason addition of Chase Young, but Granderson has established himself as a key part of the team's defense and is locked into a long-term deal to stay in New Orleans.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting to QB in camp
Granderson has been the Saints' best pass rusher in training camp, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com.
ANALYSIS
That's lofty praise considering the Saints have eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan occupying the other spot at defensive end. Granderson emerged as a starter across from Jordan late last season and finished the 2022 campaign with 5.5 sacks. Now locked in as a starter following the offseason departure of Marcus Davenport, Granderson has created substantial separation from backup defensive end Payton Turner.
