2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bresee showed stretches of dominance while starting as a true freshman at Clemson in 2020. However, his status as a potential top-10 pick slipped away as he struggled to perform at a consistent level over his final two collegiate campaigns. Standing at 6-6, 298 pounds, the 29th overall pick in this year's draft should be able to contribute as a unique, powerful athlete at multiple spots on the Saints defensive line, which doesn't return any proven playmakers from last season outside of Cameron Jordan. Read Past Outlooks
Productive rookie campaign
Bresee played all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, logging 24 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and six passes defended.
ANALYSIS
Bresee showed signs of potential stardom during his 2023 rookie campaign. The 2023 first-round pick logged fewer tackles than veteran defensive tackles Khalen Saunders (57) and Nathan Shepherd (50); however, Bresee contributed the third-most sacks to what was a relatively lax pass rush, and he tallied the most passes defended of any non-defensive back for the Saints. He also played at least 50 percent of defensive snaps in eight contests this season, and he played less than 40 percent of defensive snaps just once. Bresee will look to continue ascending during the 2024 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com expects Bresee to earn a starting role by the beginning of the regular season.
ANALYSIS
The proverbial light bulb seems to have turned on for the rookie first-round pick in recent practices, as Bresee has started to consistently generate interior pressure and disrupt plays. Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders are the Saints' nominal starters at defensive tackle heading into preseason play, but Duncan believes Bresee will displace one of them as a starter by the time the games start to count.
