Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
2016
Goodson is the favorite to win the right inside linebacker job out of camp, but fifth-round rookie Ryan Connelly could push him for the job at some point this season. Goodson is a modest source of tackles, and he had two picks last year.
Goodson is the favorite to start at inside linebacker alongside newly signed Alec Ogletree in the team's new 3-4 alignment. It's likely Ogletree will see more snaps and lead the team in tackles, but Goodson could be useful if he secures the early-down work.
A fourth-round pick last year, Goodson barely saw the field. This year, he'll vie for the Giants starting middle linebacker job in camp, and he's even seeing work in nickel packages. Should he impress, he could stay on the field a good deal of the time and be a nice source of tackles.
Fourth-round draft pick, competing for snaps at linebacker, but it's a crowded, if unimpressive, field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Meets with Titans
LBFree Agent
April 8, 2021
Goodson had a visit with the Titans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Goodson piled up a career-high 91 tackles with the Browns last season, and Tennessee would be a fairly favorable landing spot for fantasy purposes. He seems unlikely to repeat last year's stop total again, but if Goodson does link up with the Titans he'll at least have plenty of rotational opportunities.
