2023 Fantasy Outlook
One of the Buccaneers' true elder statesmen, Gholston re-upped with the team on a one-year deal this offseason to lock in what will be his 11th season with the franchise. Gholston is as steady a run-stopping force as there is in the league, but after showing some serviceable pass-rushing acumen with 7.5 sacks over the previous two seasons, Gholston did not get to the quarterback across 466 snaps in 2022. Nevertheless, he remains extremely durable, having last missed a game in 2017. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Set to return Week 16
Gholston (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Scott missed the Buccaneers' Week 15 win over the Packers with a knee injury he sustained the week prior against the Falcons. He's filled in as a backup defensive end behind starters Calijah Kancey and Logan Hall this season. Gholston has 15 tackles (eight solo) and one interception over 13 games.

2013
Gholston had a sack-less season for the first time in his career in 2017, particularly noteworthy considering he played in 14 games and played a solid amount of snaps. The 2013 fourth-round pick reportedly slimmed down this offseason in an effort to gain some quickness, which he'll try to put to good use while backing up Jason Pierre-Paul at left defensive end.
