2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bresee led the Saints' defensive tackles with 4.5 sacks during his 2023 rookie season despite never starting a game across 17 regular-season contests. The first-round pick will likely once again push for a signficant snap share while rotating snaps with starters Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders. Read Past Outlooks
Good to go Sunday
Bresee (illness) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Bresee was a DNP for Friday's practice due to an illness, but he will suit up Sunday. The 2023 first-round pick played 34 snaps (32 on defense, two on special teams) and did not record a tackle in the Saints' Week 1 victory over the Panthers.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bresee showed stretches of dominance while starting as a true freshman at Clemson in 2020. However, his status as a potential top-10 pick slipped away as he struggled to perform at a consistent level over his final two collegiate campaigns. Standing at 6-6, 298 pounds, the 29th overall pick in this year's draft should be able to contribute as a unique, powerful athlete at multiple spots on the Saints defensive line, which doesn't return any proven playmakers from last season outside of Cameron Jordan.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com expects Bresee to earn a starting role by the beginning of the regular season.
ANALYSIS
The proverbial light bulb seems to have turned on for the rookie first-round pick in recent practices, as Bresee has started to consistently generate interior pressure and disrupt plays. Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders are the Saints' nominal starters at defensive tackle heading into preseason play, but Duncan believes Bresee will displace one of them as a starter by the time the games start to count.
