Ndamukong Suh Fantasy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. The 34-year-old veteran pass-rusher will be available for the season opener on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Suh's presence on Tampa's defensive line is bad news for Dallas' offense to open the season. While he's not an elite defensive lineman at this stage of his career, Suh remains an above-average pass-rusher on the interior. He racked up 43 tackles, six sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 2020. While Suh isn't necessarily much of an IDP asset these days, the Buccaneers defense should be a solid starting unit throughout the season. However, in Week 1 against a strong Cowboys offense, you may want to fade them as more of a low-end starting unit in DFS.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million on Wednesday, according to a source. Suh's contract will include voidable years to help with this year's salary cap figure. He's spent the last two years in Tampa on one-year deals and has played a key role in the team's transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive scheme. Suh had 2.5 sacks and four fumble recoveries (two for touchdowns) in 2019. He finished last season with six sacks, one forced fumble and 44 tackles. His 330 plays against double-teams was second to only Aaron Donald, the Defensive Player of the Year. While the 34-year-old can still do damage on an improved Tampa defensive line, he could be in his last NFL season and surely isn't the IDP monster he once was. He's a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro with 64.5 sacks and 563 tackles in 11 NFL seasons.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed free-agent defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh on their to-do list. The 34-year-old pass-rusher doesn't want to retire, and a deal for the 11-year veteran could come as soon as Wednesday, March 17. Tampa Bay is trying to keep all of their big-name players after winning the Super Bowl over the Kansas City Chiefs last season. If the Buccaneers do re-sign Suh, it'll likely just be for one year. Suh, a three-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, is obviously no longer in his prime. However, he was still a very important part of the team's dominant defensive line in 2020, recording 44 combined tackles (nine for loss), 19 QB hits, two passes defensed, one forced fumble and six sacks in 16 regular season games.
