Marcus Peters Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) said that he expects to be back from his torn ACL by June or July, which means he could be a full-go for the beginning of training camp. Peters blew his knee out in practice just days before the season-opener in 2021 and missed the entire season. Despite the injury, the Ravens could decide to give him an extension as he heads into the final year of his $42 million extension. When healthy, the 29-year-old is one of the better cover corners in the league, already being named to three Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro squads in six seasons. The Ravens defense allowed the most passing yards per game (278.9), so getting Peters back healthy in 2022 will go a long way in shoring up their secondary.

Tests confirmed that Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL at practice on Thursday, according to a source. Thursday was a really bad day for the Ravens, as starting running back Gus Edwards (knee) also suffered a season-ending torn ACL. It's a serious blow for Baltimore's secondary, but thankfully they also have Marlon Humphrey on the other side of the field. Expect some combination of Anthony Averett and veteran Jimmy Smith to pick up the slack in the wake of Peters' season-ending injury. The team could also decide to bring in more secondary help on the free-agent market. This is certainly a blow to the Ravens defense, but as a unit, they remain a strong starting fantasy option and should remain in play on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Baltimore Ravens restructured cornerback Marcus Peters' contract on Friday in order to free up $3.5 million in salary cap space for the 2021 season. Peters has been a dynamic player in Baltimore secondary ever since they traded for him in 2019. After he agreed to the contract restructure, the Ravens will have around $20 million to spend in the free-agent market. The 28-year-old had four interceptions in 14 games last year. He was scheduled to have a $13.5 million salary cap hit in 2021. Since he entered the league in 2015, Peters has the most takeaways (39), interceptions (31), interception return yards (814), interceptions for touchdowns (six) and defensive touchdowns (seven). His 86 passes defended are the second-most in that span.
