Carolina Panthers
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

Gross-Matos will move to outside linebacker with Carolina transitioning to a 3-4 defense, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
New defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is transitioning the Panthers from the 4-3 scheme they had been running the past three seasons. Gross-Matos previously was listed as a defensive end, but in the new system the 2020 second-round pick will need to learn to drop back into coverage more often. During his three-year NFL career, Gross-Matos has racked up 106 tackles, 8.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 43 appearances, playing a career-high 806 defensive snaps in 2022 as he moved into a starting role.

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.
