2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2021 second-round pick, Grant has started and recorded at least 100 tackles in back-to-back seasons, totaling three picks and three forced fumbles in that span. He recorded the first three sacks of his career in 2023, but despite displaying playmaking skills, Grant lost snaps to DeMarco Hellams over the final weeks of the campaign as Atlanta's defense struggled. Hellams is expected to miss the beginning of 2024 due to an ankle injury, but the Falcons shored up their safety depth by signing Justin Simmons, who's expected to start next to Jessie Bates, leaving Grant as the top backup.

Likely starting Sunday
Grant will start if Justin Simmons (hamstring), who is listed as doubtful, can't play in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Grant has played just 18 defensive snaps and recorded four total tackles and one pass defended through the Falcons' first seven games. If Simmons is sidelined as expected in Week 8, expect Grant to start opposite Jessie Bates as part of the Falcons' top safety duo.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After a modest rookie campaign, the 2021 second-round pick won a starting job last year and totaled 123 tackles, seven pass defenses, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 appearances for the Falcons. Grant still has two years remaining on his first pro contract and is considered the early favorite to remain a first-team defender even after the offseason addition of safety Jessie Bate, which would send Jaylinn Hawkins to a reserve role. However, Atlanta has more secondary depth in 2023 than they did in 2022, so things could change quickly if Grant doesn't play up to par.
