2023 Fantasy Outlook
One of the Buccaneers' true elder statesmen, Gholston re-upped with the team on a one-year deal this offseason to lock in what will be his 11th season with the franchise. Gholston is as steady a run-stopping force as there is in the league, but after showing some serviceable pass-rushing acumen with 7.5 sacks over the previous two seasons, Gholston did not get to the quarterback across 466 snaps in 2022. Nevertheless, he remains extremely durable, having last missed a game in 2017. Read Past Outlooks

Tunes up for regular season
Gholston recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
The reliable veteran got warmed up for his 11th regular season with his productive 11-snap cameo against Baltimore. The 2013 fourth-round pick failed to record a sack for the first time since 2017 last season, but his 49 tackles tied for the second-highest total of his career. Gholston projects to once again play a key rotational role on the defensive front this season, although he could officially slot into a backup role behind Logan Hall at right defensive end in the team's 3-4 alignment.

2013
Gholston had a sack-less season for the first time in his career in 2017, particularly noteworthy considering he played in 14 games and played a solid amount of snaps. The 2013 fourth-round pick reportedly slimmed down this offseason in an effort to gain some quickness, which he'll try to put to good use while backing up Jason Pierre-Paul at left defensive end.
