Michael Pierce Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots, but there is no definitive word yet on how the team will proceed and if Pierce can make it back at some point this year, according to sources. Pierce will undergo further tests. Typically, a torn biceps will keep a player out for the entire season, so the 29-year-old defensive lineman is looking at a lengthy absence. Through the first three weeks of the season, Pierce had only six tackles (four solo), a QB hit and a forced fumble for the Ravens defense.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed defensive tackle Michael Pierce. The veteran nose tackle will receive a three-year deal worth $16 million. This will be a reunion for Pierce who played his first four seasons of his career with the Ravens. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, but sat out the season due to COVID-19 concerns. Pierce only managed to play in eight games for the Vikings due to a torn triceps last season. He was reliable during his time in Baltimore. A solid gamble for an above average tackle who defends the run well.

Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Michael Pierce (calf) suffered a calf injury while training, and his availability for the start of training camp is now in doubt, according to a source. Pierce might wind up missing some time this month, but it's not expected to keep him off the field to begin the regular season. The 28-year-old sat out his first season in Minnesota due to concerns over COVID-19 last year, but he should be available for Week 1, barring any setbacks. In his first four seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, Pierce had 151 tackles (13 for loss), 13 QB hits, four fumble recoveries and 3.5 sacks in 60 games (30 starts). He's off the radar in IDP leagues as an interior defensive lineman.
