2025 Fantasy Outlook
Baun was one of the breakout stars on the defensive side of the ball in 2024. He won a role in the middle of the Eagles' defense to begin the season and more than tripled his previous career high in defensive snaps before going on to deliver 151 total tackles. While a fifth-year breakout will rightly be met with skepticism, several factors suggest Baun is around to stay. First, 2024 was Baun's first in Philadelphia, and he immediately earned a 100 percent defensive snap share. The team then signaled it believed in Baun by signing him to a three-year, $51 million extension this spring. In terms of production, Baun was elite in coverage and stuffing the run. His one shortcoming was an 11.1 missed tackle rate (per PFF), and the addition of Jihad Campbell could take away some snaps and hurt Baun's tackle volume. However, there are too many positive signs to ding his outlook considerably. Read Past Outlooks

Baun recorded 12 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Baun was able to reach double-digit stops for the first time this season after doing so eight times during the 2024 regular season. He was also able to get to Bo Nix in the fourth quarter, registering a sack for the second straight week. Through five games this season, the linebacker has compiled 42 total tackles (26 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding an interception and a forced fumble.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Baun will enter his third season with the Saints in 2022 after finishing the 2021 campaign with 30 tackles over 17 games. The 25-year-old linebacker will likely play in a rotation with Pete Werner in the upcoming season after the departure of Kwon Alexander.
Baun saw limited action as a rookie, finishing the 2020 campaign with 12 tackles and one tackle for loss. Coaches actively acknowledged that he made growth as the season went on, though, which showed in Baun's expanded playing time down the stretch. With Alex Anzalone and Kwon Alexander out of the picture, Baun should easily top the 82 defensive snaps he saw last year and a jump in statistical production would surely follow.
The Wisconsin linebacker was talented enough to hear his name called in the first or second round but wasn't selected that high, likely due to some question marks. A foot injury caused him to miss his sophomore season, and Baun provided a diluted sample at the NFL Combine, both possible contributors to his drop in draft stock. Still, he played five seasons at Wisconsin and went off for 75 total tackles, 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception in his redshirt senior season. He's solid off the edge and can drop back into coverage if needed. Baun should have no problem getting on the field in his first season with New Orleans.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to return to Philly
LBPhiladelphia Eagles
February 3, 2025
Baun seems likely to sign elsewhere in free agency this offseason, as the Eagles may not have the cap room to retain him, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year linebacker had a career year after signing a modest one-year, $3.5 million contract with Philadelphia last offseason, erupting for 151 tackles including 3.5 sacks, both career highs, in 16 regular-season games before adding 26 more tackles in three playoff games on the Eagles' road to the Super Bowl. Baun's next contract figures to be substantially larger, with a $15 million AAV on a multi-year deal not out of the question for the 28-year-old, which would land him in the top five at his position.
