2024 Fantasy Outlook
Werner is coming off a career year, tallying 93 tackles while playing 16 regular-season games. The 25-year-old doesn't particularly jump off the page with game-changing plays, totaling one interception and two forced fumbles over three pro campaigns. The Saints added a solid veteran in Willie Gay this offseason, and top linebacker Demario Davis is back for his 13th season. However, Werner should be in line for a productive 2024, which would set him up for a solid payday at the end of his rookie contract. Read Past Outlooks
Officially active for Week 11
Werner (hand) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
After logging consecutive DNPs to open the week due to a hand injury, Werner was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, which is good enough for him to suit up for Sunday's contest. Over his last three outings, Werner has logged 22 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Werner started last season on track for a breakout campaign with 71 tackles and three pass defenses through the first eight games of the season. However, the 2021 second-round pick went on to suffer a significant ankle injury Week 9, limiting him to play in just three of New Orleans' final eight games. Werner still put up a career-best season in 2022, despite making three fewer appearances than his rookie season. After fellow off-ball linebacker Kaden Elliss left in free agency this offseason, Werner should headline the Saints' relatively thin linebacking corps alongside four-time All-Pro middle linebacker Demario Davis.
