2023 Fantasy Outlook
A second-round pick of the Panthers in 2020, Gross-Matos finally became a regular starter last season. Suiting up for all 17 games, he posted a career-best 54 tackles to go with 2.5 sacks. He also recovered three fumbles. Ahead of the upcoming campaign, Gross-Matos faces a transition to outside linebacker in new coordinator Ejiro Evero's 3-4 scheme. Opposite standout Brian Burns, Gross-Matos will compete with Marquis Haynes for reps in what's slated to be the final year of his contract with Carolina. Read Past Outlooks

The 49ers signed Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gross-Matos was the 38th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Panthers but never developed into a top-end pass rusher off the edge in Carolina. He registered just 13 sacks across four seasons, including a career-best 4.5 in 2023. Perhaps new Niners DC Nick Sorensen can get more out of the 26-year-old.

Shifting to new role
LBCarolina Panthers
July 11, 2023
Gross-Matos is moving to outside linebacker to accommodate the Panthers' transition to a 3-4 base defense, Augusta Stone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gross-Matos took a significant step forward in both his workload and production in 2022, posting 54 tackles across 806 defensive snaps. The Panthers will likely be hoping to get more out him as a pass rusher, as he has yet to surpass 3.5 sacks in any of his three seasons in the NFL. Gross-Matos has been praised by Pro Bowl teammate Brian Burns this offseason, who noted that the Penn State product has done well digesting his new responsibilities in coverage.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
A second-round pick in 2022, Gross-Matos boasts just six sacks through his first two seasons. Nonetheless, he could be asked to start opposite Brian Burns following the significant free-agent departure of Haason Reddick this offseason.
Gross-Matos ended last season with 24 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games. The 2020 second-round pick was slowed by an ankle injury early, but he managed five quarterback hits while starting Carolina's final seven games. Despite the offseason addition of fellow edge rusher Haason Reddick, Gross-Matos will look to build on his late-season momentum as he enters his second campaign.
Drafted 38th overall this year, Gross-Matos joins the Panthers after a highly productive last couple seasons at Penn State. In 24 games across his sophomore and junior campaigns, he managed 94 tackles, including 34.5 for loss, and 17 sacks. At 6-5, 266, he offers another towering presence opposite last year's first-rounder, Brian Burns. With plenty of snaps available given offseason departures, Gross-Matos seems like a strong candidate to make a significant impact as a rookie.
