2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tryon-Shoyinka went into 2023 with expectations that he'd finally deliver on his first-round draft pedigree, and he finished with career highs in tackles (45) and sacks (5.0) while also forcing and recovering a fumble apiece for the first time in his first three seasons. The 25-year-old actually played far fewer defensive snaps (556) than in 2022 (806). That makes last year's numbers more impressive in context, and he should be set for the highest workload of his career this fall due to offseason linebacker departures. Read Past Outlooks

Tryon-Shoyinka (ankle) was listed as active ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Tryon-Shoyinka missed the last two contests with an ankle sprain that he suffered Week 12 versus the Giants. The 25-year-old will now return and reprise his role as one of Tampa Bay's starting outside linebackers. Across 11 appearances this season, Tryon-Shoyinka has logged 1 tackles and two sacks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Tryon-Shoyinka took a step forward in his sophomore 2022 campaign, posting a career-high 40 tackles and matching his rookie-season total of four sacks. The athletic linebacker also boosted his defensive snap total from 562 to 806 last year, and the valuable experience he gained with the additional reps should be beneficial as he approaches what could be a breakout in 2023. Tryon-Shoyinka has the benefit of working alongside the same group of talented linebackers - Lavonte David, Devin White and Shaquil Barrett - which may lead to his fair share of 1-on-1 matchups.
The 32nd overall pick in this year's draft, Tryon's destination arguably is both a blessing and a curse with respect to his rookie season. On the one hand, the Washington product couldn't ask for a better set of mentors than Lavonte David, Jason Pierre-Paul, Devin White and Shaquil Barrett. At the same time, the presence of that quartet likely will keep Tyron from seeing the field in base packages in the fall, absent injury. Tryon opted out of last season, but he racked up eight sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss in 13 games as a sophomore in 2019. He appears to have the raw talent to develop into an IDP asset, but his situation isn't ripe for immediate production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Critical season ahead
LBTampa Bay Buccaneers
July 18, 2024
Tryon-Shoyinka is facing a critical season in 2024 after the Buccaneers declined to exercise his fifth-year option earlier this offseason, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There were high hopes for Tryon-Shoyinka after he was taken with the final pick of the first round out of Washington in the 2021 NFL Draft. Tryon-Shoyinka has recorded 114 tackles, including 13 sacks, over 51 regular-season games, but more was expected over the course of the 1,924 snaps he's played in that span. Tryon-Shoyinka now has some young noteworthy competition as well, considering second-year pro YaYa Diaby and rookie second-round pick Chris Braswell are both talented enough to officially render Tryon-Shoyinka expendable after this season.
