29-Year-Old Defensive EndDE
New Orleans Saints
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kpassagnon has been an efficient rotational player since signing with the Saints ahead of the 2021 campaign. The 29-year-old saw significantly more playing time during the back half of his four-year tenure with the Chiefs, but he was almost just as productive (28 tackles) despite playing less than half as many defensive snaps (342) in 2022. He'll serve a similar role in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
$Signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Saints in February of 2023.
Middling production in 2023
DENew Orleans Saints
January 18, 2024
Kpassagnon appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, tallying 19 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defended.
ANALYSIS
Kpassagnon played every regular-season game for the first time with the Saints, as he missed 11 games over the previous two campaigns. The 29-year-old still logged nine fewer tackles than the 2022 campaign when he tallied a career-high 28. Kpassagnon provided considerably more production than younger defensive ends Payton Turner and Isaiah Foskey, though these three will likely compete for a rotational role heading into the 2024 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
In his second season with the Saints, Kpassagnon will likely serve in a rotational role as the No. 2 left defensive end behind starter Cameron Jordan in 2022. In 2021, the veteran recorded 18 total tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble over eight games.
Coming over from Kansas City, Kpassagnon will help fill the void left behind by Trey Hendrickson. However, Marcus Davenport will assuredly get the first crack in the starting lineup opposite Cameron Jordan, so his playing time could depend on how quickly first-round pick Payton Turner will acclimate to the pro game.
