Plays two games in 2023

January 18, 2024
Turner logged one tackle while playing two games during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Turner sustained a significant toe injury during the season opener and was sidelined on IR until the Week 18 win over Atlanta. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick was significantly hampered by injury for the third season in a row, as he's now appeared in just 15 games during his career. The 2024 campaign will likely serve as a make-or-break season for Turner in New Orleans.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In fight for roster spot
DENew Orleans Saints
July 18, 2023
Turner will have to earn his spot on the Saints' roster during training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
On the surface, this seems like no surprise as Turner has only three sacks across 13 games in his first two NFL seasons. It's still a big fall from grace for the University of Houston product given that the Saints used a first-round pick on him in 2021. Underhill noted that it would be an upset for Turner to not make the team, but the Saints will not hesitate to cut him if there are players performing better than him.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Selected by the Saints in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Turner appeared in just five games in his rookie season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 9. In his limited action, he recorded 12 tackles and one sack. Turner projects to play in a rotational defensive end role for New Orleans in 2022.
One of the more surprising players to hear his name called during the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Turner comes to New Orleans as a toolsy prospect with an 84-inch wingspan - the longest recorded for an edge player at the Senior Bowl since 1999 - and a 7.01-second time in the three-cone drill. With the reach and quickness to contend with anyone, the 22-year-old now will attempt to make it all work in the NFL. How soon Turner's athleticism translates remains to be seen, but as the Saints have learned with 2018 first-rounder Marcus Davenport, a return on investment may take some time.
