Matt Ioannidis Ruled Out For Week 3 Against Buffalo
Washington Football Team defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis (knee) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Sunday's matchup vs. the Bills. Ioannidis had been questionable to play throughout the week after sustaining a knee ailment in Week 2; his absence stands to serve as a blow to the depth along the D-line for the Washington defense. Through the first two games of the year, Ioannidis has combined to rack up four tackles -- one of which went for a loss -- along with one quarterback hit. A road matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills doesn't bode well for the Washington defense in terms of season-long fantasy value, although there stands to be some upside from a DFS tournament perspective. The next chance that Ioannidis has to take the field comes in Week 4 against Atlanta.
Washington Football Team defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 loss to the Browns and will miss the rest of the 2020 season, according to a source. It's a blow to a defense that could also be missing first-round pass-rusher Chase Young (groin) in a tough Week 4 matchup against the Ravens and their high-powered offense. Ioannidis had a career-high 8.5 sacks and 64 combined tackles for Washington in 15 starts in 2019. You can safely ignore Washington's defense next week against Baltimore.
The Washington Redskins signed defensive end Matt Ioannidis to a three-year extension with a base value of $21.75 million on Thursday, according to a source. He can earn another $3 million in incentives. The 25-year-old former fifth-round pick has flown under the radar the last two years and has 12 sacks in that time, including 7.5 quarterback takedowns in 14 games in 2018.
Washington Redskis defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (knee) is considered week-to-week with his knee injury. He has a sprained ankle and knee. His coach jokes that hes a nut job and "might try to come back right away". Ioannidis is an important piece of a Redskins defensive line that will need to force pressure on the quarterback. Just as importantly, the Redskins are in the same division as Ezekiel Elliott and top rookie running back Saquon Barkley so the defensive line will need to hold up against the run.
