Maxx Crosby Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby enters Week 3 primed to make his biggest impact yet this season. The third-year veteran has already registered two sacks for 12 yards and 10 QB hits through two games this season. He will have his work cut out for him this Sunday against a Dolphins team that has the worst pass protection rating in the league and will be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this weekend. Managers can expect Crosby to be an IDP contributor for sure.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (hand, shoulder) led the team in sacks in each of his first two seasons with 17 in 2019 and 2020 combined. But he said that he played this last season (all 16 games) with a labrum tear in his shoulder and a metal plate in his hand. Crosby underwent surgery to fix both injuries after the season and should be back after a four-month recovery period. The fourth-round pick from Eastern Michigan has been one of the most productive players for the Raiders defense. He's recorded 86 tackles (30 for loss), five passes defensed and four forced fumbles in the last two seasons, proving to be a model of consistency for a lackluster Raiders D. Crosby finished the 2020 season ranked No. 39 among defensive lineman in overall fantasy points.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby had 10 sacks in his rookie season in 2019, but he wasn't able to take down Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "Hes a different type of player too. Hes one of those guys. He just backpedals, hell throw the ball from weird angles, its not like sacking a regular quarterback. Yeah, Im definitely looking forward to sacking him. It needs to happen. Its definitely going to happen," Crosby said. A fourth-round pick last year, Crosby also had 47 tackles (36 solo), 16 tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, four passes defensed and four forced fumbles in a full season (10 starts). The young pass-rusher is definitely one to watch as a low-end defensive line starter in deeper IDP formats.
