Matt Ioannidis Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Panthers interim HC Steve Wilks called S Jeremy Chinn "a work in progress" in his return from a hamstring injury and deemed the safety a game-time decision for Sunday against the Ravens, according to NFL.com. That makes Chinn risky even if active, but we'll watch his status Sunday. If Chinn sits again, he won't be replaced by S Juston Burris (out: illness, concussion) and probably not by S Myles Hartsfield either (doubtful: ankle). Carolina has also ruled DT Matt Ioannidis (calf) out. CB Jaycee Horn (foot) is questionable but finished the week with 2 full practices.

Washington is releasing DT Matt Ioannidis, according to multiple reports. Ioannidis played 59% of defensive snaps over his 16 games last year and 73% 2 seasons before. (Ioannidis appeared in only 3 games in 2020 because of a torn pectoral muscle.) At age 28, he looks like a good bet to find opportunity elsewhere. He'll be nearly 3 years removed from IDP relevance when the season begins, though.

Washington on Monday activated DE Montez Sweat from IR. Sweat would have been able to return from his jaw fracture for last week’s game but landed on the COVID list. He’s now clear to play Tuesday against the Eagles. Washington also activated DT Matt Ioannidis from the COVID list Monday, making him eligible to face Philly. Ioannidis’ playing time has increased in recent games

Washington has placed WR Curtis Samuel on the COVID list. We'll see how long that keeps him out. Samuel, of course, has already been sidelined on the PUP list with the groin issue that followed him out of OTAs. Washington also placed DT Matt Ioannidis on the COVID list.

Washington DT Matt Ioannidis suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to multiple reports. His absence could mean more weekly snaps for DTs Jonathan Allen and Da'Ron Payne. Each saw a season-high snap share at Cleveland: 79% for Allen and 81% for Payne.

Washington DE Chase Young left in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's loss to Cleveland with a groin injury and did not return. DE Ryan Kerrigan doubled his playing time vs. the 1st 2 games in Young's absence and would be in IDP lineup contention if Young misses further time. DT Matt Ioannidis also left in the 1st half with an arm injury. Both will get further evaluation Monday, according to ESPN's John Keim.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (hamstring) is inactive for today's finale against the Eagles.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis is questionable for Sunday's finale against the Eagles. This time it's a hamstring injury, rather than the shin issue that had landed him on the injury report for multiple weeks. Ioannidis missed practice all week, though, and has fallen off since the shin injury arose. He shouldn't be in your Week 17 IDP plans.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (shin) is active for today's game against the Titans. He's still a low-level IDP -- especially given that the injury continued to limit his practice availability this week -- but does carry some upside.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (shin) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. He arrived questionable for the 2nd straight game but participated in practice this week after sitting out last week's workouts and then seeing just 3 snaps in Sunday's game. He remains risky but also carries IDP upside into today's matchup.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He basically missed the past 2 games, playing just 3 snaps against the Giants in Week 14. Unlike last week, though, Ioannidis actually returned to limited practices this week. We'll check his status this weekend. There's upside to the Jaguars matchup.

Washington ILB Zach Brown (illness) and DL Matt Ioannidis (shin) are active for today's game against the Giants. Brown should be fine for normal IDP usage. Ioannidis looks risky after missing practice all week. The matchup does present upside, though, if he makes the most sense among your options.

Washington LB Zach Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. He popped up on the injury report after missing Thursday's practice with an illness but returned to full participation Friday. We'd bet on Brown playing. DL Matt Ioannidis is also questionable with a shin injury. He missed practice all week after sitting out last week's game. Ioannidis looks like a poor IDP bet even if he turns up active Sunday.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis is questionable for Monday night's game against the Eagles because of a shin injury. He took part in practice the past 2 days and seems likely to play, but keep the risk in mind if you're deciding between linemen for your IDP lineup today.
