2024 Fantasy Outlook

Cross began his sophomore season playing mostly on special teams, but he increased his role on defense after Indianapolis' bye in Week 11. He then stepped into a starting role for the final three games of the season due to an injury to Julian Blackmon (shoulder). He ended up racking up 39 tackles (24 solo), two pass breakups and one interception in 17 games. He'll compete with Rodney Thomas and Daniel Scott for the starting free safety job alongside strong safety Julian Blackmon. Read Past Outlooks

September 9, 2024

Cross recorded 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

ANALYSIS
Cross was able to beat out Rodney Thomas for the starting free safety job in training camp and proved why in Week 1. His 14 stops were a single-game career high and may put him on the IDP radar. It'll be worth monitoring his performance in the weeks ahead, starting with Week 2 against the Packers.

2022 Fantasy Outlook

Cross, a 2022 third-round draft pick, is a missile out of Maryland at 6-foot, 212 pounds with 4.34 speed, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him win a starting role after the retirement of Khari Willis. Cross probably fits better in the box than far downfield.
