2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a breakout 2022 with the Saints, Elliss signed a three-year deal with the division-rival Falcons last offseason and posted a career-high 122 tackles. Over the last two seasons, he's totaled 200 tackles, including 11.0 sacks, five pass defenses and two forced fumbles. Even with Troy Andersen back after a lost 2023 season, Elliss' role shouldn't change drastically, making him a strong IDP option again. The only concern for Elliss this summer is his participation during training camp, as he left the 2023 regular-season finale due to an undisclosed knee injury, but he's expected to be full go.

Posts career-high 151 stops in 2024
Elliss ended the regular season with 151 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, along with three pass defenses (including an interception), one forced fumble and one recovered fumble over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Elliss was both prolific and consistent during the campaign, recording double-digit tackles in 10 of his 17 contests. His 151 tackles tied for sixth-most in the NFL and surpassed his previous career-high mark, which he had established in 2023, by 29 stops. Elliss has emerged as one of the league's top run-stoppers in his two seasons with Atlanta, and he's expected to fill the same role with the team next year in what will be the final year of the three-year deal he signed in March of 2023.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After playing primarily on special teams during his first three NFL seasons, Elliss, a seventh-round pick by the Saints, posted 78 tackles, seven sacks and two forced fumbles - all career highs - in 2022. He parlayed his strong campaign into a three-year, $21.5 million deal from the Saints this offseason and should replace Rashaan Evans as a starting inside linebacker next to Troy Andersen. Given his pass-rushing prowess, Elliss may get moved around to different spots to create advantageous matchups, which could allow Mykal Walker to garner a rotational role after being benched at the end of last season.
