Matt Milano Fantasy

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (shoulder) participated in practice but was in a non-contact jersey. It remains unknown as to if Milano will play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots, but there's a decent chance that he won't make it. In Milano's absence, both of the Patriots running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson would receive upgrades as well as a slight bump to the Patriots' passing weapons. This injury is worth monitoring in DFS especially as it could lead to some minor market inefficiencies.

The Buffalo Bills re-signed linebacker Matt Milano to a four-year, $44 million deal on Thursday, according to a source. The deal includes $24 million guaranteed. Milano was willing to forego free agency for another shot at a Super Bowl run with the up-and-coming Bills. Many people expected Milano to depart in free agency for a substantial contract, but he chose to stay in Buffalo. Only 26 years old, the 2017 fifth-round pick has been a key piece for Buffalo's improving defense, starting in 38 of 54 games since being drafted and recording 101 total tackles in 2019. Milano only played in 10 games (five starts) in 2020, but he was able to record 45 combined tackles (four for loss), nine QB hits, one interception, three passes defensed and a career-high 3.5 sacks.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) has been activated from Injured Reserve, paving the way for him to take the field for Monday's contest against San Francisco. Milano has totaled 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks in five games (three starts) this year and is expected to reprise his role as tackling extraordinaire for the Bills Defense. Last season, Milano compiled 101 tackles, with his return set to serve as a major boon for a unit that has delivered seesaw performances during 2020. Aside from a meeting with Pittsburgh in Week 14, the Bills have favorable matchups over the remainder of the year and with Milano back, they can be seen as an above-average defensive unit in season-long leagues.
