Aaron Donald Fantasy

A Pittsburgh attorney intends to seek assault charges against Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald on behalf of his client, according to multiple reports. Todd Hollis said that Donald assaulted his client, DeVincent Spriggs, on April 11 at a club in the Pittsburgh area. Spriggs was left with a concussion and other injuries. Donald is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and seven-time Pro Bowler with 85.5 career sacks. "We are collecting more information and will have no further comment at this time," the Rams statement said. The former 13th overall pick in 2014 is in the middle of a six-year, $135 million contract extension. It's unclear if this incident could lead to a suspension for one of the NFL's best pass-rushers. Stay tuned.

Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald (ribs) said that he's pain-free after he injured his ribs and left the wild-card win over the Seahawks last Saturday. Donald said that he felt like he had the wind knocked out of him when the injury initially occurred. "The way I'm feeling right now, I'm not too worried about it... I feel good, I feel strong, and I'll be ready come Saturday," Donald said. The All-Pro pass-rusher isn't expected to do much in practice this week, though, but he's expected to play against the Packers. Donald is a big reason why the Rams Defense has been the top-ranked unit in the league in 2020, but they'll face a tall task against Green Bay this weekend. It may not be wise to expect LA's defense to finish as the top fantasy unit in the Divisional Round, but at least they'll have Donald in the fold.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that he doesn't expect defensive lineman Aaron Donald's (ribs) injury to "affect his game status for this week." Donald was injured while taking Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson down on a tackle late in the wild-card win on Saturday. The All-Pro pass-rusher made several trips to the locker room and had trouble breathing on the sidelines. Donald didn't return to the game, but he likely would have if the game was still in question. The 29-year-old is the heart and soul of this Rams Defense, so it's great news that his injury wasn't serious enough to keep him out in the Divisional Round against the Packers. LA's defense was the top unit in the NFL this year, but they'll have a tough task on their hands this weekend and won't be the top fantasy selection for the Divisional Round.
