2024 Fantasy Outlook
Adebo has been a promising young cornerback since his rookie season, and he finally broke out last year. In 15 games, the 2021 third-round pick logged 76 tackles, four interceptions and 18 passes defended, the latter of which ranked third in the NFL. He also served as the Saints' top cornerback for much of the season while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined with injury. While Lattimore likely remains the team's No. 1 cornerback when healthy, Adebo could be on pace for a Pro Bowl campaign in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

The Saints placed Adebo (upper leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Adebo suffered a broken femur during the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday. He underwent season-ending surgery Friday, and he'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2025 campaign. Adebo's move to IR makes room on the 53-man roster for the Saints' signing of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Adebo stepped into a significant role from Day 1 in New Orleans. The 2021 third-round pick saw his responsibility increase even further last season, as he played nearly every defensive snap when healthy across 13 appearances. With Marshon Lattimore set to return as the Saints' top cornerback after he missed 10 games in 2022 due to injury, Adebo should vie with Alontae Taylor and/or Bradley Roby for starting reps this fall.
Adebo was impressive in his rookie season, recording 66 total tackles, eight passes defensed and three interceptions. The 22-year-old is likely to start at cornerback opposite Marshon Lattimore, which should help him to see more opportunities to improve upon last season's performance. With the potential for opposing quarterbacks to avoid throwing in Lattimore's direction, Adebo could benefit for fantasy purposes if he's up to the challenge.
Letting Janoris Jenkins walk in free agency, the Saints had a massive hole at cornerback this offseason opposite Marshon Lattimore. Drafting Adebo in the third round was the most significant investment they made at the position. While veterans Patrick Robinson or P.J. Williams could open the season in the starting lineup, Adebo has the tools to work his way into a first-string role before long.
