Shaquil Barrett Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett (Achilles) expects to be ready for Week 1. "I'm going to be ready to go when it's time to go, commented Barrett during a podcast interview. "I don't anticipate missing any games." The 30-year-old, who signed a four-year extension with Tampa in March 2021, has totaled 348 tackles, 54.5 sacks, and two interceptions during his eight-year career. However, he tore his Achilles in Week 8, ending his year. But as long as Barrett doesn't suffer any setbacks, he's dead-set on being out there in September. Whether or not he'll be 100% is a different story entirely.

An MRI exam on Friday confirmed that Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He'll be out for the next seven to nine months, according to a source. It's a devastating season-ender for Barrett and the Buccaneers defense, a unit that was already going backwards entering Week 8. The 29-year-old can now be dropped in single-season IDP leagues. Carl Nassib and Anthony Nelson will now see more playing time the rest of the way with Barrett done for the season. Barrett will finish his 2022 campaign with 31 tackles (20 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, six QB hits and a forced fumble in eight games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star pass-rusher Shaquil Barrett (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens based on an initial exam, according to a source. Head coach Todd Bowles said it doesn't look good, and Barrett will undergo an MRI exam to confirm on Friday. It's devastating news for a Buccaneers defense that has struggled in recent weeks. The 29-year-old is arguably the defense's best player, so losing him for the rest of the season would be a major blow to the Buccaneers D/special teams unit in fantasy. Barrett had three solo tackles and a sack against Baltimore and has 31 tackles (20 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, six QB hits and a forced fumble through eight games in 2022.
