Notches sack in Week 10
Kancey posted five tackles (all solo), including a sack, and forced a fumble against the 49ers in Sunday's loss.
ANALYSIS
Kancey made a big sack of Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter, and he forced Purdy to fumble on the play, though San Francisco was able to recover. The sack resulted in a third down, and the 49ers came up empty on the drive when Jake Moody missed a field goal two plays later. Kancey has tallied 3.0 sacks over the past two weeks, and with 4.0 sacks over five contests on the campaign, he's already tied the total he registered in 14 regular-season games last year.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Buccaneers' rookie first-round pick is drawing comparisons to Aaron Donald, but the even more Tampa-centric one of Gerald McCoy may be very appropriate as well. The Pittsburgh product is listed at 281 pounds - particularly light for a defensive tackle - but he ran a 4.67 40-yard dash at the combine and compiled 91 tackles and 16 sacks over his three college seasons. Kancey should have a chance to play a significant role in the defensive line rotation right from the start of his pro career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Difference maker in 2024
Gilberto Manzano of SI.com believes that Kancey showed flashes of high-level play toward the end of his rookie season and is set to take a leap in production in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Kancey's rookie campaign got off to a slow start when a calf injury sustained in training camp was aggravated in Week 1, causing the 2023 first-round pick to miss the following three games. From there on out, however, Kancey proved to be a reliable interior presence for the Bucs' defense, and he played at least 60 percent of defensive snaps in 12 of the last 15 games of the season, including playoffs. He showed his first-round potential during the postseason, when he tallied six tackles, including 1.5 sacks, over two playoff games as he and Vita Vea formed a dominant defensive front. Across 14 regular-season games Kancey tallied 26 tackles, including 4.0 sacks.
