Lamarcus Joyner Fantasy

The Oakland Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent safety Lamarcus Joyner (Rams) on a four-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed. The Raiders needed some back-end help on defense, and Joyner is a good one. He was a beast last season, amassing 78 combined tackles with a sack, a fumble recovery, an interception and three passes defensed. He turned a career-high in tackles into a nice pay day after spending five seasons with the Rams. Joyner is a solid defensive back for those using individual defensive players (IDPs), although the Raiders defense remains one of the lower-echelon fantasy defenses barring more additions.

The Los Angeles Rams placed safety Lamarcus Joyner on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday after he didn't pass his conditioning test. This isn't a big deal, and he can come off the NFI list and practice when he's medically cleared. He has three career interceptions, four sacks and two forced fumbles in four NFL seasons. Joyner should improve in his second season at safety under legendary defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.

Los Angeles Rams safety Lamarcus Joyner signed his $11.287 million franchise tag tender on Monday, according to a source. Joyner is expected to return as the team's starting free safety in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' scheme. Joyner had 49 tackles and his first three career interceptions in 2017 and will be an underrated part of a secondary that also added star cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters in the offseason.
