Michael Pierce Fantasy

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.

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms with former Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce on a three-year, $27 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal can be worth a total of $28 million and he'll receive $18 million guaranteed with the chance to be back on the open market at age 30. Pierce will help fill the hole left by Linval Joseph on the interior of Minnesota's defensive line. The 27-year-old isn't a fantasy option in IDP leagues, but he'll help plug the holes up the middle for the Vikings. Pierce had 35 tackles (19 solo), half a sack and two fumble recoveries in 14 games for the Ravens in 2019.
