Jayron Kearse Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse (knee) added to the doomsday for the team Sunday night, suffering a sprained MCL. He'll be out between two and four weeks. The Cowboys defense looked strong at points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and should still be considered in favorable matchups moving forward. However, with a matchup against the Bengals in Week 2 on the horizon, consider the Dallas unit a boom-or-bust defensive unit in fantasy. Quarterback Joe Burrow turned the ball over five times last week, but Cincinnati can score in bunches. Kearse should de stashed in an IR spot in deeper IDP formats until he returns.

Dallas Cowboys safety Jayron Kearse (knee) is listed as questionable to return on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the team. Kearse injured his left knee in the third quarter, but he was able to walk to the locker room under his own power. With the game already in the fourth quarter, there's a good chance that the 28-year-old won't make it back in this one with the Cowboys down 19-3. Before leaving the game, Kearse had four tackles (three solo). In his first year in Dallas in 2021, Kearse had a career-high 101 tackles (67 solo), nine tackles for loss, six QB hits, one sack and two interceptions, putting him on the fantasy radar in IDP leagues.

The Dallas Cowboys re-signed safety Jayron Kearse to a two-year deal with a base salary of $10 million in 2022 on Monday, according to a source. Kearse can make up to $11 million in incentives. He will return for his second season in Dallas after recording a career-high 101 tackles (67 solo), nine tackles for loss, six QB hits, one sack, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 16 games (15 starts) last year. In his first four years with the Minnesota Vikings from 2016-19, Kearse was primarily a special teams player. The 28-year-old was originally a seventh-round selection by the Vikings out of Clemson, but he has become a key piece of Dallas' secondary.
