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.

Team-high nine stops
Elliss posted nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Picking up where he left off last season, Elliss was a tackle machine versus the Steelers. He played all 68 defensive snaps, while Troy Andersen and Nate Landman split time at the other ILB spot in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Given his role in Week 1, Elliss should be a premier IDP option moving forward. Elliss posted 122 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and three pass defenses last year, his first with the Falcons.

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.
