Buffalo Bills
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Through his first three seasons as a pro, Rousseau has put up a total of 129 tackles and 17 sacks, including 42 tackles and 5.0 sacks in 2023. With the Bills facing so much turnover on both sides of the ball ahead of the coming campaign, perhaps this will be the year the 2021 first-rounder puts forth his breakout effort. A.J. Epenesa has already proven capable of helping Rousseau with the pass rush on the other side of the line, but everyone could gain if Von Miller, who's missed significant time the past two seasons, can consistently spark the team's pass rush.

Notches sack in Week 13 victory
DEBuffalo Bills
December 3, 2024
Rousseau registered four tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
In a game that was played in snowy conditions, players on both sides of the ball visibly struggled to gain traction on field. That led to just one sack -- Rousseau's second-quarter takedown of Brock Purdy -- being recorded across both teams. Rousseau has registered a sack in three of his past four contests and is up to 6.5 on the campaign. His career-high mark is 8.0, which he established in 2022 as a second-year player.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Rousseau had a strong second NFL season last year, doubling his sacks from his rookie campaign despite playing four fewer games. The 30th overall pick in 2021 puts the bull in bull rush with his 6-6, 266-pound frame, but his athleticism and football IQ make him more than just a one-dimensional threat, and he's benefited greatly from Von Miller's mentorship. Buffalo added Leonard Floyd in the offseason and could get more than 11 games out of Miller in 2023, but if Rousseau continues his development, he figures to lead the charge for one of the NFL's most talented pass rushes.
Rousseau mostly remains unproven as a second-year, 22-year-old defensive end still growing into his massive 6-foot-6 frame, so this entry requires some projection. With that said, Rousseau’s prospect profile is full of reasons for optimism. The first-round pick immediately earned a starting role with Buffalo even as a 21-year-old rookie, and his production (50 tackles and four sacks on 504 snaps) was encouraging.
