2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dupree signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Falcons this offseason after appearing in just 11 total games for a third straight season. In his last healthy campaign (2019), the veteran pass rusher totaled career highs in sacks (11.5) and forced fumbles (four). Dupree is healthy heading into 2023 and slated to be a starter opposite Lorenzo Carter, while recent draft picks Adetokunbo Ogundeji and Arnold Ebiketie operate as rotational pieces.

RANKS
Gets back on track in 2023
Dupree finished 2023 with 39 tackles (17 solo), 6.5 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles in 16 appearances.
ANALYSIS
After back-to-back down years in Tennessee, Dupree signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Falcons last offseason. The 2015 first-round pick did just that, playing in his most games since 2019 while recording his most sacks and forced fumbles since 2020 -- his final year with Pittsburgh. The veteran pass rusher will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's mutual interest in a return given the bounce-back campaign Dupree had in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head back to Pittsburgh
Mike Jones of The Athletic views the Steelers and Jaguars as the two best fits for Dupree in free agency.
ANALYSIS
Dupree is intimately with familiar with the Pittsburgh organization, as he spent his first six NFL seasons with the Steelers before playing two years with the Titans and spending 2023 in Atlanta. His 6.5 sacks with the Falcons suggest that the 31-year-old outside linebacker still has some gas in the tank, and the Jaguars could call upon Dupree to bolster their lackluster pass rush if the Steelers aren't interested in a reunion.

Dupree battled a number of injuries in his first season with the Titans, including a lingering knee issue as well an abdominal problem. He recorded only three sacks across 11 games as a result, and he will be looking to rebound to his form in 2019 and 2020 while in Pittsburgh when he recorded 11 sacks across 22 combined games.
