25-Year-Old Defensive EndDE
Buffalo Bills
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rousseau was entering something of a prove-it year in 2024, not because he hadn't produced when called upon in the past, but because he was likely to be relied upon more consistently due to the turnover along Buffalo's defensive line. That came to fruition as he logged a career-high 703 defensive snaps, with his next closest mark being just 558. That increased volume was the most significant reason his box score production improved, but it was enough to convince the Bills to give him a lucrative four-year extension, potentially worth $80 million and $54 million in guarantees. While that signifies Rousseau's importance to the team, it is worth noting that Buffalo added some significant depth to its defensive line this offseason, most notably Joey Bosa, Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunobi. Given those additions, betting on Rousseau to completely replicate his 2024 season would be unwise. Nevertheless, roughly 40 tackles with at least five sacks is a very safe floor and that will keep him fantasy relevant. Read Past Outlooks

Rousseau (back) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 first-round pick from Miami practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but it now appears he's moved past his back injury in time to play in the divisional round. Rosseau is coming off an impressive performance in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars, recording six total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed over 44 defensive snaps. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Joey Bosa during Saturday's playoff contest.

2023
2022
Through his first three seasons as a pro, Rousseau has put up a total of 129 tackles and 17 sacks, including 42 tackles and 5.0 sacks in 2023. With the Bills facing so much turnover on both sides of the ball ahead of the coming campaign, perhaps this will be the year the 2021 first-rounder puts forth his breakout effort. A.J. Epenesa has already proven capable of helping Rousseau with the pass rush on the other side of the line, but everyone could gain if Von Miller, who's missed significant time the past two seasons, can consistently spark the team's pass rush.
Rousseau had a strong second NFL season last year, doubling his sacks from his rookie campaign despite playing four fewer games. The 30th overall pick in 2021 puts the bull in bull rush with his 6-6, 266-pound frame, but his athleticism and football IQ make him more than just a one-dimensional threat, and he's benefited greatly from Von Miller's mentorship. Buffalo added Leonard Floyd in the offseason and could get more than 11 games out of Miller in 2023, but if Rousseau continues his development, he figures to lead the charge for one of the NFL's most talented pass rushes.
Rousseau mostly remains unproven as a second-year, 22-year-old defensive end still growing into his massive 6-foot-6 frame, so this entry requires some projection. With that said, Rousseau’s prospect profile is full of reasons for optimism. The first-round pick immediately earned a starting role with Buffalo even as a 21-year-old rookie, and his production (50 tackles and four sacks on 504 snaps) was encouraging.
