Germaine Pratt Fantasy

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed linebacker Germaine Pratt to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday, according to a source. He will receive $10.35 million in Year 1 and $15.15 million over the final two years of the deal. Pratt has started 54 career games and now remains in Cincinnati. The former third-round pick in 2019 had a career-high 99 tackles (50 solo), one sack, six tackles for loss, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 15 regular season starts for Cincy last year. He's an emerging defender for the Bengals and was one of their key free agents this week, especially after the team just lost safeties Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell to the Falcons and Panthers, respectively.

The Cincinnati Bengals have placed linebacker Germaine Pratt on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Bengals offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo was designated to return from the injured reserve in a corresponding move. Pratt has been a tackle machine recently, racking up 39 tackles (21 solos, 18 assists) over his last four games. The 25-year-old will need to clear COVID protocols to be eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues should continue to monitor the situation closely and look for other options at linebacker if Pratt isn't cleared by Sunday. Stay tuned.
