2025 Fantasy Outlook
Werner had his most productive campaign on an efficiency basis during his fourth season with the Saints in 2024, tallying 92 tackles in 13 appearances. This was just one tackle shy of his career-best 93 stops in 2023 when he played 16 games. The 2021 second-round pick has seen his production increase each year since joining the Saints and, after signing an extension through 2027, he's cemented himself into a full-time role alongside defensive stalwart and fellow off-ball linebacker Demario Davis. Barring injuries, these two are in line to lead New Orleans in tackles once again in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Saints in August of 2024.
Has reduced role in Week 7 loss
Werner logged two assisted tackles Sunday in a loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
It was a quiet game from a statistical perspective for Werner, who recorded his lowest tackle tally of the campaign. The veteran linebacker also continued to see his playing time decrease -- he logged a season-low 53 percent defensive snap share. Meanwhile, rookie Danny Stutsman was productive with a 24 percent snap share and could be pushing Werner for playing time.

2021
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be shipped out
Werner may be a player the Saints consider moving at the trade deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
The team's most valuable trade chip, running back Alvin Kamara, has informed the front office he wants to stay in New Orleans, but the Saints have other assets they might consider dealing, including Werner. The fifth-year linebacker is under contract through 2027 and is on pace to reach 100 tackles for the first time in his career, racking up 46 in six games. He's already set new career highs with 2.0 sacks and three passes defended in 2025.
