2025 Projections
Boost in production in '24
Kancey furnished 28 tackles (22 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Kancey's 515 snaps on defense during the campaign represented a 40-play reduction from his 2023 rookie campaign, with the first-round pick also playing two fewer games. Nevertheless, Kancey finished with two additional tackles and 3.5 additional sacks compared to the prior season, but he hit as much as the five-tackle mark on only two occasions following a delayed Week 6 season debut due to a calf injury. The Georgia product could be set to take the next step in his development during the 2025 season given the improvement he showed this past season, although he headed into the offseason on a down note by tallying just a single tackle across 50 snaps during the wild-card loss against the Commanders.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Buccaneers' rookie first-round pick is drawing comparisons to Aaron Donald, but the even more Tampa-centric one of Gerald McCoy may be very appropriate as well. The Pittsburgh product is listed at 281 pounds - particularly light for a defensive tackle - but he ran a 4.67 40-yard dash at the combine and compiled 91 tackles and 16 sacks over his three college seasons. Kancey should have a chance to play a significant role in the defensive line rotation right from the start of his pro career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Olympic option for Team USA?
Nick Shook of NFL.com believes Kancey would be a strong candidate to play for Team USA if the NFL passes a resolution that allows NFL players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics.
ANALYSIS
Kancey isn't an NFL superstar, but his skill set could work well in a flag football setting. The Buccaneers defensive tackle ran the fastest 40-yard dash at his position since 2003 at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, and Kancey has posted 11.5 sacks over his first two NFL campaigns. With no offensive or defensive lines in flag football, Kancey's speed could help him be a contributor if the NFL owners vote to allow NFL players to partake in the Olympics in Los Angeles.
