2024 Fantasy Outlook
Whitehead returns to Tampa Bay after a two-year Jets tenure, and he's back as an even more effective player than he was during his initial Bucs stint. The 27-year-old is coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded a career-high 97 tackles and four interceptions, while also tying a personal best with nine total pass breakups. Whitehead will once again line up next to stellar free safety Antoine Winfield, with whom he played in 2020 and 2021. An above-average tackler who's seemingly improved his ability to get his hands on the ball every season, Whitehead profiles as a steady IDP option. Read Past Outlooks
Reaches double-digit tackles
Whitehead recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Whitehead's 11 combined tackles tied a single-game career-high and was just his fourth double-digit tackle game in his seven-year career. He also recorded his tackle for a loss since Week 7 of the 2023 campaign. Next up for the Pittsburgh product and the Buccaneers defense is a Week 3 matchup with the Broncos.

2022
2021
2020
2019
Whitehead had an up-and-down first year with the Jets in 2022. He had a career-high 89 tackles while adding two interceptions and eight passes defensed, though the 2018 fourth-rounder would have been even more productive if he hadn't taken numerous bad angles in both run defense and pass coverage. In every season of his five-year career, the 26-year-old has posted at least 69 tackles and four passes defensed. He should have little trouble clearing those benchmarks again in 2023, as there's little competition for snaps at safety on the roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cut candidate after Clark trade
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic believes Whitehead is in danger of getting cut following the Jets' acquisition of fellow safety Chuck Clark.
ANALYSIS
The Jets could start both Clark and Whitehead at safety, but they have similar skill sets as players who prefer to play in the box rather than back in coverage. Whitehead started all 17 games for the Jets in 2022, but New York can save $7.25 million in cap space by cutting Whitehead before finding a replacement with a different skill set via the draft or free agency.
