Janoris Jenkins Fantasy

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) left Sunday's contest versus Denver shortly before halftime due to a knee injury before eventually being marked questionable to return. He never did make it back to the field, but it appears that he has avoided a serious knee injury, with Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reporting that Jenkins will be "fine." Jenkins logged one pass defended before his departure, with the Saints Defense finishing with a dominant performance in their Week 12 win, primarily due to its matchup against a practice squad wide receiver masquerading at quarterback. With Jenkins likely in the mix down the stretch, fantasy managers can continue to rely on a New Orleans defensive unit that entered Sunday having allowed the third-lowest yards per game average in the NFL.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The veteran defender has two interceptions and nine passes defender this year so far, as well as 37 tackles. If he misses time, the Saints Defense would take a slight hit in value, though aside from a Week 15 meeting with the Saints, they're past playing most of the top quarterbacks on their schedule.

The New Orleans Saints signed cornerback Janoris Jenkins to a two-year, $16.75 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to a source. So Jenkins will make $27 million overall for three years, with $10.2 million in guarantees. He'll have two option years after getting all the money he was owed for 2020 up front. The Saints can keep him for a $10 million base and a $1.2 million roster bonus in 2021 and a $5.25 million base and a $500,000 roster bonus in 2022. The 31-year-old played in just two games for New Orleans last year after coming over from the Giants, and he had five interceptions in his 15 games overall. He should be a full-time starter for the Saints in 2020.
