2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 fifth-round pick, Bertrand was limited to 12 games as a rookie due to injuries. The Notre Dame product played 20-plus snaps four times and overall recorded 18 tackles, including 1.0 sack, in those games. The Falcons signed Divine Deablo to pair with Kaden Elliss in the middle of their defense, plus return Troy Andersen, who has a high upside but can't stay healthy. Bertrand is slated for a backup role but may be the first one on the field if there is an injury to Elliss or Deablo. Read Past Outlooks

Tallies nine tackles in loss

October 29, 2025
Bertrand logged nine tackles (three solo) in Atlanta's loss versus the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bertrand finished second on the team in tackles behind Kaden Elliss' 12. The 25-year-old has taken advantage of increased playing time over the past two weeks with Divine Deablo sidelined by a forearm injury, and has racked up 19 tackles (seven solo) over that span. Bertrand will look to keep producing in the Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie fifth-round pick, Bertrand finds himself in a log jam behind Kaden Elliss, Troy Andersen and Nate Landman. However, if Bertrand fails to play his way into a rotational role defensively, the Notre Dame product should make an impact on special teams in Year 1.
