Impresses with larger role
Nelson recorded six total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The Iowa product started opposite Yaya Diaby in Week 13, filling in for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (ankle) and logging a season-high 53 defensive snaps. Nelson came just short of bringing down Bryce Young several times, recording three QB hits without a sack. He's now tallied 31 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through Tampa Bay's first 12 games this season. Nelson's role could on the Bucs' defense could continue to expand if he maintains his performance from Sunday.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Nelson re-signed with the Buccaneers in the offseason after turning in a career-best season in 2022 that saw him amass 46 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery while appearing in every regular-season game for the third consecutive campaign. The 2019 fourth-round pick is considered a starting-quality backup at this stage after filling in admirably for Shaquil Barrett's following the latter's Week 8 Achilles tear last season.
