  • Season-high 11 tackles

    Elliss posted 11 tackles (six solo), including a sack, during Sunday's 25-23 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Elliss recorded a season-high 11 stops, marking his second double-digit tackle performance of the season. He also notched his second sack of the campaign. Ellis has nearly eclipsed his career-high tackle total for a single season (78), which he set last year with the Saints, but he hasn't made a consistent pass-rushing impact during his first campaign in Atlanta.

  • Continues solid play

    Elliss notched eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Elliss recorded at least eight tackles for the third time this season. Across eight appearances, he's totaled 53 tackles and one sack. He's well on his way to surpassing his career high in tackles (78) during his first season with Atlanta, but he hasn't been as impactful as a pass rusher as he was with New Orleans last year, when he posted seven sacks.

  • Season-high 10 tackles in loss

    Elliss registered 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Elliss recorded his first double-digit tally of the season and finished second on the team behind Jessie Bates (11). Elliss has 25 stops and a sack through his first three games in Atlanta, and he's emerging as a strong IDP candidate. Last year, he finished with 78 tackles, including seven sacks, across 17 games with New Orleans, but he's on pace to surpass those numbers in 2023.

  • Records first sack of 2023

    Elliss recorded six solo tackles, including one sack, during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Elliss led Atlanta in tackles and recorded his first sack of 2023, taking down Jordan Love on a third-and-11 play in the first quarter. The newcomer has made his presence felt during his first two games with the Falcons, recording 15 tackles overall, and he appears to be a strong IDP option moving forward.

  • Nine stops in Week 1

    Elliss recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Elliss' Falcons debut wasn't quite as prolific as Jessie Bates', but the two newcomers definitely both played a huge part in Atlanta's season-opening win. Elliss recorded 78 tackles, seven sacks and two forced fumbles across 17 games with the Saints last year, so while the early tackle numbers are nice, fantasy managers can expect him to eventually make an impact as a pass rusher as well.

  • Joining Falcons on three-year deal

    Elliss agreed to a three-year contract with the Falcons on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Elliss is scheduled to make $21.5 million over the next three years, though the deal can't be finalized until Wednesday. The 27-year-old linebacker enjoyed a breakout season with the NFC South rival Saints in 2022, racking up 78 tackles and seven sacks. Elliss had just 23 tackles and one sack over three previous seasons.

  • Key defensive contributor in 2022

    Elliss tallied 78 tackles (43 solo), seven sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles over 17 games during the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Elliss notched career highs across the board during his fourth season with New Orleans. The 2019 seventh-round pick was a core special-teamer over his first three years with the Saints, and he continued to primarily play in this phase until linebacker Pete Werner went down with an ankle injury Week 9. Eliss then recorded 58 tackles (33 solo) and five sacks while taking on a starting role over the final eight games of the season. He also maintained a significant role even when Werner returned…read more

  • Notches seven stops in win

    Elliss recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 17-10 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: With both of fellow linebackers Pete Werner (hamstring) and Zack Baun (ankle) unavailable in Week 16, Elliss tied for the second-most stops on the Saints behind Tyrann Mathieu's 11. The 238-pounder will likely remain one of New Orleans' key defensive contributors when the team travels to Philadelphia in Week 17.

  • Tallies eight tackles in loss

    Elliss recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Monday's 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Elliss tied with cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Bradley Roby for the Saints' second-most tackles behind strong safety Marcus Maye. The fourth-year linebacker has risen into an extremely prominent role since starter Pete Werner went down with an ankle injury Week 9, recording 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one pass defended over the last four games. Elliss played a relatively moderate role over the first eight weeks of the season, though his performance over the past month may have earned him…read more

  • Leading tackler again Week 12

    Elliss logged 14 tackles (12 solo) during Sunday's 13-0 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Elliss recorded a game high in tackles as the Saints were shut out for the first time this season. The 27-year-old also started his third straight contest in place of Pete Werner, who has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury Week 9 versus Baltimore. Elliss has set a new season high for tackles in each of these starts, totaling 33 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one pass defended over this span. He should continue to play a prominent role if Werner remains sidelined against the Buccaneers next…read more

  • Pops in second straight start

    Elliss collected 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defended during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Elliss logged a team high in tackles while starting in place of injured linebacker Pete Werner (ankle) for the second game in a row. The 2019 seventh-round pick also increased his season sack total to 4.5, as the Saints' pass rush totaled four sacks against the Rams' depleted offensive line. Elliss has accumulated 18 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 sacks and one pass defended over the past two weeks, and his production will remain high so long as Werner stays sidelined. The 6-foot-3, 238-pounder…read more

  • Strong showing in loss

    Elliss recorded seven tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Elliss played a season-high 96 percent of New Orleans' defensive snaps with starting linebacker Pete Werner (ankle) sidelined Sunday. While his one forced fumble was ultimately recovered by the Steelers, he did log his second sack in as many weeks. Elliss should continue to see significant playing time if Werner remains out against the Rams in Week 11.

  • Taken off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Elliss (hamstring) was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.

    Analysis: Elliss had missed three consecutive games due to a hamstring injury before enduring a fourth consecutive absence as a result of being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The latter issue is no longer an impediment to Elliss's availability, but he'll need to overcome the hamstring injury in order to suit up Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Elliss (hamstring) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Elliss has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, and he's also now contending with COVID-19. Considering his multiple maladies, Elliss shouldn't be expected to be available Monday versus the Dolphins.

  • Inactive against Buccaneers

    Elliss (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Elliss will be sidelined for a third consecutive game after his hamstring injury prevented him from practicing this week. Pete Werner should serve as the primary depth option at outside linebacker Sunday.

    Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

  • Tests negative for COVID-19

    The Saints activated Elliss from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.

    Analysis: Elliss may have been exposed to the virus, but negative test results mean he can return to team facilities. The 2019 seventh-round pick geared up in three games for the Saints last year, strictly in a special-teams role, before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Elliss will compete for a similar role in 2020.

    Elliss was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Elliss was one of two New Orleans players to be placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday. He'll now have to pass the proper protocol testing before he gains clearance to return to the field. The linebacker only played in three games during his rookie campaign before suffering a severe knee injury.

    Elliss (knee) is set to compete for a roster spot in training camp after having been limited to just three games as a rookie.

    Analysis: Elliss' rookie campaign came to a premature end due to a severe knee injury suffered Week 3 against Seattle. Now coming off a healthy offseason, the 2019 seventh-round pick will enter training camp primed to compete for a key special-teams role.
