Mario Addison Fantasy

The Houston Texans signed veteran free-agent defensive end Mario Addison to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a league source. Addison played for defensive line coach Jacques Cesaire with the Buffalo Bills and also recently visited with the Seattle Seahawks. The 34-year-old spent the last two years in Buffalo, racking up 41 solo tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, 12 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 32 games (seven starts). Before that, Addison spent seven years playing for the Carolina Panthers. He's not much of an option for those in IDP fantasy formats, as he's only had one season with double-digit sacks in 11 NFL seasons with five different teams. Addison will give the Texans a nice veteran presence on the D-line.

The Buffalo Bills agreed to an undisclosed three-year deal with former Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison on Monday, according to a source. Addison, 32, is moving toward the back side of his career, but he has remained productive. He recorded 9.5 sacks with 34 tackles (20 solo) and two forced fumbles in 15 games for the Panthers in his final season. Addison may not be an every-down player at this stage of his career, but he'll come in handy for a strong Bills Defense after recording at least nine sacks in each of the last four seasons. Buffalo's defense/special teams should be a top-five fantasy unit in 2020.

The Carolina Panthers are interested in re-signing defensive end Mario Addison, but the 32-year-old plans to test the open market, according to league sources. Addison has 39 sacks in the last four seasons, which is the most of any Carolina player in that span. He finished with 34 tackles (20 solo), 9.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 15 total games during the 2019 season. Addison has at least nine sacks in each of the last four seasons, including a career-high 11 back in 2017.
