2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Saints brought in Shepherd to help replace their significant losses on the defensive interior. The 2018 third-round pick's production and playing time steadily improved over the past five years with the Jets, accumulating a career-high 33 tackles in 2018. Shepherd now has an opportunity to carve out an even larger role in New Orleans alongside Khalen Saunders, Bryan Bresee and Malcolm Roach. Read Past Outlooks
Improves production again in 2023
Shepherd appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, logging 50 tackles, including 3.0 sacks.
ANALYSIS
Shepherd set a new career high in tackles for the fourth season in a row while also accumulating at least 3.0 sacks for the first time in his career. The 30-year-old played in more of a rotational role over his first five seasons with the Jets, but he led the Saints' defensive tackles with 562 defensive snaps played this season. Shepherd signed a three-year, $15 million contract with New Orleans in March, and he should retain a prominent role alongside fellow interior defensive linemen Khalen Saunders and 2023 first-round pick Bryan Bresee in 2024.
