Blake Martinez Fantasy

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and is out for the season. This is a significant blow to a middling Giants defense that will now be without its top linebacker. The 27-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday, which confirmed a torn ACL. Martinez racked up at least 144 tackles over the last four seasons. Reggie Ragland is expected to replace Martinez as the team's right inside linebacker. Martinez will rehab and look to get back on the field for the 2022 season.

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez isn't on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos after he spent time on the league's COVID-19 list at the start of training camp. Martinez has been back at practice for several weeks and should be 100 percent ready to begin his second season with the G-Men. His move to the Big Apple hasn't changed the fact that he is one of the best IDP linebackers in the game. The 27-year-old has four straight seasons with 140 tackles and should be a lock for starting lineups in IDP leagues each and every week. On top of that, Martinez has had 150-plus tackles the last two seasons.

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez was activated from the reserve/COVID list Tuesday. He was cleared to rejoin his teammates after spending a about a week on the COVID list. Martinez led the Giants with 151 tackles last season to go along with 3.0 sacks, one interception, and two forced fumbles across 16 games in 2021. The 27-year-old is the Giants' top inside linebacker and will have a vital role in the Giants defense this year. Martinez is expected to be all systems go by Week 1, and fantasy managers in IDP league formats can draft him as a top-10 linebacker in upcoming drafts in 2021.
