Kristian Welch Fantasy Stats

The Green Bay Packers have signed linebacker Kristian Welch to an undisclosed contract. Welch spent 2023 with the Pack but was a member of the Baltimore Ravens for each of his other four seasons in the league. Signing with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Welch played in 43 games over three seasons. He never notched more than four tackles but also contributed on special teams. The Iowa product registered eight tackles in 2024, appearing in 15 games for Green Bay, including both postseason starts for the team. The 26-year-old will have a chance to compete for playing time during camp but figures to be more of a depth piece on defense and an asset on special teams.

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed linebacker/special-teamer Kristian Welch to an undisclosed deal. The Ravens didn't place a restricted free-agent tender on him but brought him back on a non-restricted free-agent deal. Welch will return to Baltimore for his fourth season after originally joining the franchise as an undrafted free agent in 2020. In his three years with the team, he has 21 tackles (nine solo) in 43 games played (zero starts). The 24-year-old appeared in all 17 regular season games for the Ravens in 2022, playing mostly on special teams. Welch is likely to have a similar role in 2023 and can be avoided in all IDP fantasy leagues.
