Maxx Crosby Fantasy Stats

The Las Vegas Raiders met with star defensive end Maxx Crosby on Tuesday to let him know they are not shopping him and won't trade him, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Other teams are interested in the All-Pro pass-rusher -- it was reported on Tuesday morning that the Dallas Cowboys are eyeing him -- but the Raiders aren't interested in moving him, and Crosby wants to stay in Las Vegas despite the team's disappointing 2-5 start. The 28-year-old defensive end left the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs early with a knee injury and didn't return in the 31-0 blowout, but his injury is reportedly not serious, which means he should have a good chance to return after this week's bye for a Week 9 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Crosby has only four sacks through seven games this year, he'll be a must-start in IDP fantasy formats if he's active coming out of the Raiders' bye.

Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) left Sunday's game against the Chiefs after taking a low block to the knee, but that apparently has not stopped the Dallas Cowboys from inquiring about his availability. With the NFL trade deadline less than two weeks away, the Cowboys have reportedly reached out to see what it would take to acquire him. Crosby and the Raiders agreed to a three-year contract extension before the 2025 season, so it's unlikely the team has any plans to deal him. Still, in IDP leagues, Dallas would be a dream landing spot for the All-Pro pass rusher, as the Cowboys have forced opponents into obvious passing situations far more commonly than the Raiders. In most other fantasy formats, though, the Cowboys' defense has been a gift for opposing offenses, and fantasy managers should be rooting for the status quo, especially those rostering pass catchers from the Vikings, Chargers, or Commanders, as those three teams make up Dallas' fantasy playoff schedule.

Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), who was pulled from the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs early on Sunday as a precaution, should be "OK moving forward," a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 28-year-old All-Pro was injured in the second quarter and did not return in the 31-0 drubbing. Not only is Crosby's injury not considered serious, but he'll have extra time to recover during the team's bye in Week 8 before potentially returning to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. It's good news for the struggling Raiders and for fantasy managers in IDP leagues that are counting on Crosby the rest of the way. Crosby was a disappointment on Sunday with only three tackles (one solo) before getting hurt, but he should be ready to go coming out of next week's bye. The four-time Pro Bowler came into Week 7 action with only four sacks and 17 solo tackles in six games played.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby suffered a knee injury that forced him out of action in the first half. Before exiting, Crosby recorded one solo tackle and two assisted tackles. The Raiders are already being blown out, so they might play it safe with their superstar pass rusher in the second half. It's also worth noting that the Raiders have a bye next week, so they could give him extra time to rest. If Crosby remains out, Tyree Wilson figures to see an expanded role in the second half.

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) was removed from the final Week 5 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts on the road. Crosby was added to the injury report after being limited on Thursday with a knee injury. However, he was able to practice in full on Friday and is in no danger of missing this weekend's contest. The 28-year-old pass-rusher needs to be in all starting lineups in IDP formats against the Colts as he looks for his third sack of the year against quarterback Daniel Jones. The 28-year-old four-time Pro Bowler is an elite pass-rusher in the NFL and has 19 tackles (11 solo), two sacks, seven tackles for loss, five QB hits, an interception, and a forced fumble in the first four games in 2025.

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby (ankle) missed several games last season due to a high-ankle sprain and underwent tightrope surgery in the offseason, but The Athletic's Tashan Reed reports he's healthy again this offseason. Crosby was a full participant in organized team activities on Thursday and is ready to roll. "I didn't have an offseason," Crosby said. "I've been here the whole time. It's been five months of hardcore training and rehabbing every single day." The 27-year-old pass-rusher missed the final games of the 2024 season but still finished with 7.5 sacks, 45 tackles (28 solo), 17 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits and five pass breakups in 12 starts in his sixth year in the NFL. Crosby has been one of the top defensive playmakers since entering the league in 2019 with 59.5 sacks in 95 games (89 starts) for the Raiders. Now that he's fully healthy, he'll be a high-end fantasy defensive-line target.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby to a new three-year, $106.5 million contract extension on Wednesday, sources tell The Athletic's Tashan Reed. The deal includes $91.5 million guaranteed. Crosby was already under contract with the Raiders through the 2026 season, but his previous deal had no guaranteed money left. The new deal makes the four-time Pro Bowler the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, although that probably won't last for long this offseason. The high-motor defensive end has developed into one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL since he was taken in the fourth round back in 2019 by the Raiders. Crosby has a whopping 59.5 sacks (tied for fifth-most) since entering the league. Although his 2024 season was cut short by an ankle injury, Crosby will be an elite defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats this fall.

New Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek said on Tuesday at the NFL Combine that the team wants to keep All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby in town long term. The 27-year-old four-time Pro Bowler is entering the final two seasons of a four-year, $94 million deal but has run out of guaranteed money on his contract. His $22.2 million salary in 2025 and $18.8 million salary in 2026 are not guaranteed, and a new deal would likely make him one of the league's highest-paid pass-rushers. The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore writes that it would be surprising if a new deal between the Raiders and Crosby isn't struck before the start of the 2025 season this fall. Crosby played in a career-low 12 games in 2024 due to injury and had 7.5 sacks, but he's been a Pro Bowler each of the last four years and is one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL when healthy.

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (ankle) said on Thursday that he's making good progress in his recovery from surgery for a left high-ankle sprain. "Got off the scooter, now I'm in a boot, and I'll get the boot off Monday. I'm A-plus across the board, as far as Dr. Anderson... I'm in a great place right now," Crosby said. The 27-year-old aggravated his ankle injury in Week 14 and eventually need a tightrope procedure on his ankle in December, which landed him on Injured Reserve to end the year. Barring a setback with his ankle recovery this offseason, Crosby figures to be a full-go for training camp this summer and for the start of the 2025 regular season in the fall. The former fourth-round pick in 2019 out of Eastern Michigan has made the Pro Bowl each of the last four seasons and should remain a high-end D-line target in IDP leagues despite his ankle injury in 2024.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) will undergo season-ending surgery, with the multi-time Pro Bowler also confirming the news in a heartfelt social media post. The Raiders season has been a disaster. But this could be the worst news of all, so the team will go the rest of the way without their defensive standout. Crosby wasn't as productive as he was last season. However, he still had a good year, totaling 45 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The question now is when he'll be ready to return, which IDP managers hope will be before the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
