Elandon Roberts Fantasy

Free-agent linebacker Elandon Roberts said he is signing an undisclosed two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. Roberts is coming off a great season for the Miami Dolphins with a career-high 107 tackles (68 solo), career-high 4.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and six QB hits in 17 regular season starts in his third year in Miami. The 28-year-old will fit an area of need for Pittsburgh in the middle of their defense heading into the 2023 campaign. Roberts was a former sixth-round pick of the New England Patriots in 2016 out of Houston, and he spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Pats before joining the division-rival Dolphins in 2020.

ESPN's Field Yates believes the Miami Dolphins will re-sign impending free-agent linebacker Elandon Roberts this offseason. The Dolphins have a lot of work to do to improve their defense, and Roberts should be a priority to retain. The 28-year-old was a team captain and is a physical enforcer and smart blitzer. He's certainly due a raise on his current deal of $2.75 million after totaling 104 total tackles and a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2022. In his three years with the Dolphins, Roberts has 143 solo tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, seven sacks, an interception, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 47 regular season games. With better injury luck in 2023, Miami's defense should recover, especially if they re-sign Roberts.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Elandon Roberts (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers because of a calf injury. The 28-year-old was leading the team with 71 total tackles heading into Week 13 while also being responsible for 2.5 sacks. It will be a tough blow if Roberts misses time, so fantasy managers are hoping for a positive update.
