Marcus Davenport Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints officially placed defensive end Marcus Davenport (Achilles) and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The combination of losing both defensive linemen is a pretty big blow to this Saints Defense to close out the year. Davenport, a first-round pick in 2018, had 31 tackles, six sacks and three forced fumbles in his 13 games, while Rankins, a first-rounder in 2016, had 10 tackles and two sacks in his 10 games in 2019. New Orleans' defense will be a low-tier fantasy play on Monday night in Week 15 against the fading and injured Colts offense in the superdome in a bounce-back game.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport's development was stunted by a groin and toe injury in his rookie season, but the Saints are still expecting big things from the first-round pick. The team moved up 13 slots last year to take him with the No. 14 pick, sending their first-round pick in 2018 and 2019 first-round pick to the Packers. Davenport had 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and two deflected passes in his 13 games in 2018. He had surgery in the offseason but should be ready for Week 1. He'll be one to watch in IDP leagues if he can stay healthy in 2019.

New Orleans Saints rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport (toe) is expected to miss around a month with a toe injury, according to a source. He is in a walking boot right now. The team's first-round pick had been excelling of late, too, so it's a blow to an improving Saints defense. Davenport has 11 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in seven games in his rookie campaign.
