Mario Addison Fantasy

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.

Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison weighs 255 pounds this year due to better eating habits after weighing 265 pounds in 2018. With Carolina moving to a hybrid defense that will feature more 3-4 in 2019, Addison may be asked to drop back in coverage more often. Addison is very athletic, but dropping into coverage more will likely hurt his overall sack total. He has at least tied for the team lead in sacks each of the last three years and had 9.5 in 2018, although only 1.5 of them came in the second half. Don't be surprised if the 31-year-old disappoints in the sack department with the team's move to a hybrid defense.
