Marcus Peters Fantasy

The Baltimore Ravens and Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension on Saturday, according to a source. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed, which is 76 percent of the total contract. Peters will make $20.5 million in the first year, and the new extension will allow him to hit the free-agent market when he's 29 years old. Peters made an immediate impact for Baltimore's defense when they acquired him from the Rams this year. In nine games for the Ravens, he has 38 total tackles (31 solo), three interceptions (two for TDs) and 10 passes defensed. He's a big reason why the Ravens Defense has become elite in the second half of the season and a big reason why they are the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs this year.

Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marcus Peters (chest) and Jimmy Smith (cramps) were both injured in Week 16 against the Browns. Peters is questionable to return after dealing a hard hit to running back Dontrell Hilliard. Peters has been an excellent midseason acquisition to the Rams, as his arrival coincided with Baltimore's resurgence overall as a defense. If the Ravens beat the Browns in Week 16, they'll have locked up the AFC's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage, so Baltimore would likely rest most of their starters in Week 17. A long-term Peters injury would definitely weaken Baltimore's secondary if he's forced to miss playoff time.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team "absolutely" would like to sign cornerback Marcus Peters to a long-term contract extension. Peters is entering the final year of his deal in 2019. After intercepting 19 passes in his three seasons with the Chiefs, the 26-year-old only had three picks and eight passes defensed in his first full season with the Rams in 2018. Peters was definitely up and down, but he has the talent to bounce back this year in what still remains one of the better overall defenses in the NFL.
