2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dean was an integral part of a Buccaneers defense that finished with the ninth-fewest passing yards per game allowed in 2022 (208.8). He recorded the second-most tackles of his career (57), equaled his career best with two interceptions and gave up just a 45.0 completion percentage in primary coverage. Dean also has at least eight pass breakups in three of his first four seasons, and the 53.5 QBR he surrendered a season ago was the second lowest of his career. With 57 games of experience and a reputation for durability, Dean could make for a solid IDP option in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should be highly coveted free agent
CBTampa Bay Buccaneers
March 9, 2023
Dean is designated by Field Yates of ESPN.com as a pending free agent that should draw plenty of interest.
ANALYSIS
Dean is considered the best cover cornerback available in this year's free-agent class after recording seven interceptions and breaking up 41 passes overall across 57 games over the last four seasons in Tampa Bay. Dean allowed a completion percentage of 54.1 percent or lower in primary coverage during that span as well, and the combination of his 6-foot-1 frame and the fact he's 26 years old only adds to his appeal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Dean played a career-high 15 games in 2021 and continued to serve as a dependable and versatile member of the Buccaneers secondary. The Auburn product tallied 53 tackles, two interceptions, an additional seven passes defensed and allowed just a 42.9 completion percentage in primary coverage. Dean closed out the campaign by totaling 15 tackles with a pass defense and a forced fumble in Tampa Bay's two postseason games and once again projects to start at left cornerback opposite Carlton Davis, who re-signed on a three-year deal this offseason.
Dean nearly doubled his defensive snap count as a second-year pro in 2020, which led to 62 tackles, a pick-six and seven total pass defenses. He did give up five passing touchdowns on 61 attempts in primary coverage and saw the completion percentage against him rise from 38.8 as a rookie to 54.1 last year. However, Dean closed out the Buccaneers' championship run in strong fashion, as he posted 16 tackles and three pass defenses in four playoff games. He may push Sean Murphy-Bunting for a starting role at cornerback, but even if he's a rotational player, Dean is capable of piling up IDP-worthy numbers.
