2024 Fantasy Outlook
Judon, who suffered a torn right biceps Week 4 of last season, was as a result limited to 13 tackles and four sacks in 2023, but when he's healthy the 31-year-old can be a productive pass rusher, given that he racked up a team high 15.5 sacks in 2022. Now that he's past his injury, he'll remain a core member of the Patriots defense under new coordinator DeMarcus Covington. Judon's looming return fortifies the team's linebacking corps, and a return to IDP relevance seems likely for Judon - who recorded back-to-back 60-tackle efforts in 2021 and 2022 - in his fourth campaign with New England.

Present for minicamp
Judon (biceps) was in attendance for the Patriots' mandatory minicamp Monday, Hayden Bird of the Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Judon suffered a torn biceps tendon this past October, limiting him to four games last year, but he's since recovered from the injury to the point that he's in line to be a full participant in this week's minicamp, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. During his last full campaign, the linebacker racked up 60 tackles and 15.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games in 2022. Now that he's back in action, Judon is set to remain a key pass-rushing presence in New England's defense, a role that lands the 31-year-old back on the IDP radar in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Doesn't plan to sit out minicamp
Judon has made limited appearances during the voluntary portion of the Patriots' offseason program, but he doesn't plan to hold out when mandatory minicamp starts in June, Karen Guregian of MassLive reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old edge rusher is in the final year of his current contract and is looking for an extension, but after he managed to play only four games in 2023 due to a torn biceps, the Patriots are balking on giving him much in the way of guaranteed money. Judon doesn't intend to incur fines by missing mandatory practices, however. He was one of the league's top pass rushers during his first two seasons in New England in 2021 and 2022, and he is set to have a base salary of only $6.5 million in 2024.

In his second year with the Patriots, Judon finished the 2022 season with 60 tackles, a team-high 15.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 17 games. As long as he continues to make his mark as a pass rusher - he also logged 12.5 sacks in 2021 - the 6-3, 261-pound linebacker will remain a cornerstone of New England's defense, as well as a player worthy of IDP consideration.
