Eddie Goldman News
After trying to trade him, the Chicago Bears are releasing nose tackle Eddie Goldman on Friday, according to a source. Goldman is only 28 years old and will have a nice market in free agency. He was originally a second-round pick by the Bears in the 2015 draft out of Florida State. Goldman managed 22 tackles (14 solo) and half a sack in 14 games (10 starts) in his final season in Chicago in 2021. In his six NFL seasons, Goldman has accumulated 175 tackles (116 solo), 18 tackles for loss, 21 QB hits, two fumble recoveries and 13 sacks in 81 games (73 starts) for Chicago. He should not be a target in IDP leagues in 2022, regardless of where he signs.
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. The anticipated return of Goldman to the Bears defense will have to wait another week, as the nose tackle remains sidelined by a knee ailment. Margus Hunt was flexed from the practice squad onto the active roster, providing depth on the D-line alongside Khyiris Tonga. Traditionally, the Chicago defensive unit has been a reliable source of fantasy contributions, but with so many injuries afflicting the group, their seemingly advantageous matchup vs. Cleveland may not be as captivating. The next chance that Goldman has to suit up comes next Sunday against the Lions.
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (knee) has been downgraded to out for the Week 1 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Goldman suffered a knee injury on Monday and didn't practice all week. With Goldman out, expect rookie Khyiris Tonga to fill in on the interior of Chicago's defensive line this Sunday. Goldman isn't on the IDP radar (just 12.5 sacks in five seasons), but his absence as a run-stuffer could be crucial against the Rams and running backs Darrell Henderson and Sony Michel. Chicago's defense was around middle of the pack in sacks and most other defensive metrics last year and they aren't a recommended starting fantasy unit in Week 1 against a Rams offense that could be even better with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
