2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mathieu totaled 166 tackles while playing nearly every defensive snap during his first two campaigns in New Orleans, resulting in a new two-year, $13 million deal this offseason. While his numbers dipped somewhat last season, the 32-year-old should continue to headline the Saints' secondary. Second-year pro Jordan Howden likely will start at strong safety, and the team's next most-experienced safety is Will Harris, who primarily played on special teams for the Lions last year. Expect Mathieu again to take on a heavy workload in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Not as effective in 2024
In 17 games in 2024, Mathieu recorded 62 tackles (47 solo), two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and seven pass breakups, including three interceptions.
ANALYSIS
Mathieu finished his third straight season without missing a single game, but he came away with fewer tackles than in both of the seasons prior, and he was a bit less sharp in coverage in the process. However, he led New Orleans' safeties in defensive snaps in 2024 by a wide margin. He'll turn 33 in May.

Mathieu set a new career high in tackles (91) while playing all 17 games during his first season with New Orleans in 2022. It's possible his production was boosted by playing in a Saints secondary that was banged up all season, including starting free safety Marcus Maye and top cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who missed seven and 10 games, respectively. Nevertheless, Mathieu is a central piece in New Orleans' defense, and he has not missed more than one game in a season since 2016. The three-time All-Pro should remain productive heading into his age-31 season in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No plans to retire
Mathieu intends to play in 2025, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old safety isn't sure how long he'll keep playing, but he plans on suiting up for at least one more year. Mathieu has been his usual productive self for the Saints in 2024, recording at least 60 tackles and three interceptions for the sixth straight campaign, but it's not certain whether he'll return to New Orleans. While he has an $11.3 million cap hit for next season, only $2.5 million of his salary is guaranteed.
