2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gipson was brought on to be a depth piece for a thin 49ers secondary last season, but he ended up usurping Jimmie Ward as the starting free safety. The journeyman proved to be effective all season, posting 61 tackles while nabbing five interceptions. Gipson performed so well that the front office decided to bring him back as the starter for 2023 after letting the more expensive Ward walk in free agency. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Starts 16 games for top defense
Gipson finished the 2023 regular season with 60 tackles (41 solo), 1.0 sacks and one interception across 16 starts with San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Gipson maintained the starting role he earned in 2022 after beginning that season as a member of San Francisco's practice squad. The 12-year vet started 2023 as the team's free safety out of the gates, finishing with nearly identical defensive numbers to his resurgence from a year prior. Gipson (an unrestricted free agent) will now have the option to re-sign with San Francisco or parlay his recent success into a starter's contract with another club.

For the second consecutive offseason, the Bears signed Gipson to a one-year contract. Under the first deal, he posted 68 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games. Entering his age-31 season, he's recorded at least 51 tackles in seven of the last eight years while playing on four different teams. In addition, he's posted seven or eight pass defenses in four straight seasons and totaled 10 interceptions during that span. Gipson shouldn't have trouble retaining a full-time role this year, making him a likely candidate to replicate his recent output.
