Ross Blacklock Fantasy Stats

The New York Giants have terminated the contract of defensive lineman Ross Blacklock. Blacklock joined the team's practice squad last December and signed a reserve/futures contract in January. The TCU product was a second-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2020, and spent two seasons with the team before serving time with the Vikings, Titans, and Jaguars from 2022 to 2023. He hasn't appeared in a game since his time with Tennessee, and has garnered just three starts since entering the league. In 44 career outings, Blacklock has registered 40 tackles (27 solo) with three sacks and five tackles for loss. The Texas native has spent minimal time during his career in the special teams phase of the game, so if he finds a new home, it'll likely be as defensive line depth.

The Houston Texans selected TCU defensive tackle Ross Blacklock with the No. 40 selection in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Blacklock is coming off a strong 2019 campaign during his junior season at TCU. He recorded 40 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks during 12 games in 2019. This is a strong pick by the Texans, who needed to add some help next to J.J. Watt. He has an incredibly quick first step, but does need to add strength. Blacklock is someone who should be able to start in Houston during his first season. He's not a complete player yet but does have a ton of upside.
