Jordan Hicks News
The Cleveland Browns agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal on Monday with former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jordan Hicks. The tackling machine comes to Cleveland after spending the last two years with the Vikings, the last of which saw him pick up 107 tackles (61 solo), a sack, one interception, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in 13 starts. Hicks will be a strong addition to an already strong Browns defense and should be on the fantasy radar as a linebacker streamer in IDP formats. The 31-year-old veteran was a former third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 out of Texas and has had 100-plus combined tackles in five straight seasons, showing just how reliable his floor is for tackles in fantasy formats.
The Minnesota Vikings placed linebacker Jordan Hicks (shin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. In other moves, the team signed running back Myles Gaskin to the practice squad and released defensive lineman Michael Dogbe from the practice squad. Hicks will now have to miss at least the next four games after needing emergency surgery to address compartment syndrome after suffering a shin injury in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. With the 31-year-old out for the foreseeable future, either Troy Dye or the recently signed Anthony Barr will take over for Hicks in the middle of the Vikings' defense. Hicks has been a top-10 linebacker in fantasy IDP leagues through 10 weeks, totaling 87 tackles (50 solo), a sack, four tackles for loss, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD), so it's a big loss for Minnesota.
Linebacker Jordan Hicks has agreed to a two-year deal with the Vikings. Hicks is rumored to make $12 million, and the signing comes after the Cardinals released him to save cap space. The 29-year-old has started 51 consecutive games over the years. While his production has dipped since he accumulated 149 total tackles, three picks, and 1.5 sacks in 2019, his ability to stay on the field could go a long way for fantasy managers in deeper IDP formats.
