2025 Fantasy Outlook
Izien saw his 2024 season cut short by a pectoral injury Week 16, but despite playing in three fewer games (14) than his rookie 2023 campaign, he totaled a career-high 75 tackles, an improvement of 10 over the previous season. The undrafted Rutgers product surrendered a modest 55.6 completion percentage and 4.9 yards per attempt in primary coverage, and he projects to be healthy and ready to resume a role at free safety in the 2025 season.

Signed a three-year, $2.71 million contract with the Buccaneers in May of 2023.
Past oblique injury
Izien (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Izien wasn't cleared to play in the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Falcons due to an oblique injury that he picked up in mid-August. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Texans on Monday. Izien appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Bucs in 2024 and finished with 75 tackles (48 solo), three pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Izien was thrust into action early and often after latching on to the active roster as an undrafted rookie in 2023, appearing in all 17 games and recording 65 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble while not allowing a touchdown on 39 pass attempts faced in primary coverage. The Rutgers product finished with a substantial 690 defensive snaps, which should provide the foundation for a possible Year 2 leap after what was already an impressive rookie campaign.
