2025 Fantasy Outlook
Izien saw his 2024 season cut short by a pectoral injury Week 16, but despite playing in three fewer games (14) than his rookie 2023 campaign, he totaled a career-high 75 tackles, an improvement of 10 over the previous season. The undrafted Rutgers product surrendered a modest 55.6 completion percentage and 4.9 yards per attempt in primary coverage, and he projects to be healthy and ready to resume a role at free safety in the 2025 season.

Signed a three-year, $2.71 million contract with the Buccaneers in May of 2023.
Logs eight tackles vs. Falcons
Izien posted eight total tackles (four solo) and one forced fumble in Thursday's 29-28 loss to Falcons.
ANALYSIS
After playing just 35 defensive snaps over 10 appearances prior to Thursday's loss, Izien was on the field for all 66 of Tampa Bay's defensive plays. The Rutgers product tied Lavonte David for the second-most tackles on the team and stripped Bijan Robinson in the third quarter, leading to a Buccaneers touchdown. He may have earned an expanded role on Tampa Bay's defense going forward, but he's still expected to back up Tykee Smith (neck) once the latter returns from injury.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Izien was thrust into action early and often after latching on to the active roster as an undrafted rookie in 2023, appearing in all 17 games and recording 65 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble while not allowing a touchdown on 39 pass attempts faced in primary coverage. The Rutgers product finished with a substantial 690 defensive snaps, which should provide the foundation for a possible Year 2 leap after what was already an impressive rookie campaign.
