Maxx Crosby Fantasy Stats

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) has been in the team's building every day as he works out and rehabs the surgically repaired meniscus in his knee, and he recently had a positive discussion with new head coach Klint Kubiak. However, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said on the Rich Eisen Show that there are "a lot of other fences that would need to be mended" for Crosby to stay in Vegas. The 28-year-old five-time Pro Bowler has already been through six different head coaches with the Raiders and has only been to the playoffs once. Crosby still has an affinity for the franchise and owner Mark Davis, but he's in the process of determining whether he wants to be traded. Pelissero adds that meanwhile, the Raiders figuring out if it makes sense to keep Crosby, especially if they can get two first-round picks for him to aid their rebuild. With the drama between Crosby and Vegas aside, he should be a high-end defensive lineman target in IDP fantasy leagues in 2026, regardless of where he's playing, if he's healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

Las Vegas Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak said on Tuesday that the team wants All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) back, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. "We want him to be a part of our success going forward, there's no doubt about that," Kubiak said. Trade speculation surrounding Crosby has been rampant since the end of the 2025 season, when the Raiders shut the 28-year-old down with two games remaining against his wishes. Surgery on his meniscus in the offseason further complicates a potential trade, although NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggested on Monday that Crosby could be traded before the start of free agency in March. If the Raiders can get a return similar to what the Cowboys did for Micah Parsons -- two first-rounders and defensive tackle Kenny Clark -- it might be hard for the team to turn that down as they enter a rebuild. Regardless of where Crosby is playing in 2026, if he's fully healthy, he should be a must-start defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's "not impossible" that the Las Vegas Raiders trade All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) before the start of free agency in March. Crosby is around a month into his recovery from surgery on his meniscus, which typically carries a recovery time of three to four months. The 28-year-old has spent his entire seven-year career with the Raiders, but it remains to be seen if he wants to stick around for another rebuild with a new coaching staff under head coach Klint Kubiak. Crosby is ahead of schedule in his recovery from knee surgery, but he's unlikely to be medically cleared before free agency officially begins on March 11. It means that if Crosby is traded, it likely wouldn't be until later, perhaps at the 2026 NFL Draft or before the regular season. When healthy, he's been one of the league's best pass-rushers, earning five straight Pro Bowl nods and racking up 69.5 career sacks. Crosby would generate significant interest around the league if the Raiders are serious about trading him.

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) said on Friday that he's ahead of schedule in his rehab from left knee surgery that he had around a month ago, according to ESPN. "I'm ahead of schedule, and it's business as usual," Crosby said. "It's my eighth surgery in seven years. It's something that I've gotten used to. It's all about perspective, about how you approach what you want to accomplish. I'm willing to run that marathon." The Raiders put the 28-year-old on Injured Reserve with two games left in the 2025 season, which started speculation about Crosby's future in Sin City. Crosby was not happy with the move and left the team's facilities. It's unclear exactly how Crosby feels, but there have been plenty of rumors that he doesn't want to go through another rebuild after the team finished 3-14 last year. Regardless of where he's playing in 2026, Crosby will remain a high-end DE in fantasy IDP leagues after posting double-digit sacks in three of the last four years.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer said on Wednesday that he believes All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby's time with the Las Vegas Raiders will come to an end this year, potentially via trade before the 2026 NFL Draft. Glazer believes that if Crosby is traded, he should fetch more than Micah Parsons did when the Dallas Cowboys sent him to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The 28-year-old defensive end doesn't want to stick around for another rebuild with the Raiders and clearly wants out. He is under contract for three more seasons after signing a three-year, $106.5 million contract in March of last year. Although Crosby finished the 2025 season on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury, he rarely misses time and has racked up 44.5 sacks over the last four seasons. He's already a top-tier defensive lineman in IDP formats, but a trade to a contender could make him even more valuable.

Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve before his team's Week 17 matchup against the New York Giants, ending his 2025 season. Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report that the 28-year-old will undergo surgery to repair his injured meniscus. Perhaps most importantly, Rapoport states that Crosby wanted to finish the season on the field, and the team's decision to place him on Injured Reserve will cause him to "evaluate his future with the Raiders." Crosby has played all seven of his NFL seasons with the Raiders, recording 69.5 sacks, 133 TFLs, and 164 QB hits across 110 career games. Pro Football Focus graded him as the 15th-best edge defender in the NFL out of 112 qualified players at the position for his work in 2025. If Crosby were to request a trade out of Las Vegas over the offseason, he would surely generate significant interest around the league.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is expected to require knee surgery that will sideline him into the offseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The news came out on Friday that Crosby would be shut down for the season. Now, the superstar pass rusher is expected to have surgery to fix a knee issue that has been bothering him for most of the regular season. The Raiders have officially placed Crosby on the season-ending injured reserve on Saturday. He'll finish the season with 73 tackles, 10.0 sacks, and two fumbles forced in 15 games. Crosby is under contract through 2029, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the rebuilding Raiders move on from him this offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is being shut down for the rest of the regular season, according to Jay Glazer. Crosby suffered a knee injury early in the season and has been playing through it for months. The Raiders aren't playing for anything at this point in the season, so they'll elect to let Crosby rest and get healthy. Crosby reportedly didn't like the decision and stormed out of the building. The superstar pass-rusher is notorious for wanting to play in every game, no matter the team's record or injury to his body. The 2-13 Raiders are certainly rebuilding and might trade the 28-year-old pass-rusher for draft picks or younger players in the offseason. For now, Crosby is done for the year, and the Raiders' defense gets worse heading into a Week 17 matchup versus the New York Giants.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Maxx Crosby (knee) is anticipated to be active for Sunday's home tilt with the Denver Broncos, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Crosby appeared on the Raiders' injury report ahead of their Week 12 loss to the Browns, but hadn't really seen his snap share suffer because of it. However, it's worth noting that he'd miss practice twice this week -- and garner a questionable tag -- as they prep for an outing with Denver. Currently, it appears he'll try to gut it out and play, which is excellent news for Las Vegas, as the 28-year-old's eight sacks are more than the following two team leaders combined. If, for some reason, Crosby can't suit up, teammates Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden would see an uptick in snaps behind Malcom Koonce on the defense's edge.

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is officially questionable to suit up for the Week 14 contest against the Denver Broncos. Crosby is in danger of missing Sunday's game after sitting out of practice on Thursday and Friday. Crosby is known for playing despite being banged up. It's going to take quite a bit for Crosby to not suit up on a Sunday, but fantasy managers in IDP formats must pay close attention to his status going into Sunday. If he sits, the Raiders' defense would be in bad shape for this divisional matchup. Tyree Wilson figures to see increased playing time if Crosby is unable to go.
