Kwon Alexander Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to terms with linebacker Kwon Alexander (Buccaneers) on a four-year contract worth $54 million, a source said Monday. Alexander is making his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but this is still a nice get. Bucs general manager Jason Licht called Alexander the "heartbeat of the defense", and the team was hopeful he'd return before talks stalled over the weekend. Alexander, when healthy, is a beast for fantasy owners using individual defensive players (IDPs). He rolled up 145 combined tackles with three sacks, an interception and seven passes defensed in 16 games for the Bucs in 2016, but he has played just 18 total games over the past two seasons combined.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander's (knee) MRI exam confirmed a torn ACL, according to a source. It will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. An already weak Bucs defense now loses one of their best remaining players on the interior. Alexander had compiled 45 tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles in six games this year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander (knee) may have suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 against the Browns, according to sources. He will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the injury. Alexander had 38 tackles, a sack and two forced fumbles coming into this game as one of the defense's leaders. It'd be a huge blow to an already weak Tampa defense that just fired their defensive coordinator last week.
