2024 Fantasy Outlook
Granderson served as a rotational lineman for the first four years of his career, having started only seven combined games in that span. However, after the Saints parted ways with Marcus Davenport heading into the 2023 campaign, Granderson immediately did a better job of providing the team with the production they hoped to get from Davenport. He was disruptive to the opposing offense as both a pass rusher (20 QB hits; 8.5 sacks) and run stopper (14 tackles for loss) and quickly established himself as one of the better edge players in the league. Perhaps he loses a few snaps in 2024 relative to last season due to the Saints' offseason addition of Chase Young, but Granderson has established himself as a key part of the team's defense and is locked into a long-term deal to stay in New Orleans.

Sacks Winston in Week 11
Granderson recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Granderson was one of three Saints to record a sack in Sunday's blowout win, bringing down Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter. The Wyoming product has been one of the Saints' most productive pass rushers through 11 games this season, ranking second on the team with 4.5 sacks while also forcing one fumble. Expect Granderson to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
The 261-pound defensive end is looking to carry over the momentum from the second half of last season into 2023. Granderson finished with career highs in tackles (53) and sacks (5.5) in 2022 after he stepped up in place of Marcus Davenport after Week 9. With Davenport now in Minnesota and eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan locked into a starting role, Granderson figures to provide a veteran presence ahead of Payton Turner and rookie second-rounder Isaiah Foskey.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting to QB in camp
Granderson has been the Saints' best pass rusher in training camp, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com.
ANALYSIS
That's lofty praise considering the Saints have eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan occupying the other spot at defensive end. Granderson emerged as a starter across from Jordan late last season and finished the 2022 campaign with 5.5 sacks. Now locked in as a starter following the offseason departure of Marcus Davenport, Granderson has created substantial separation from backup defensive end Payton Turner.
