Michael Brockers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Lions LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (neck) are active for today's game against the Packers. Each guy entered the day questionable.

Lions LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (knee) are active for today's game against the Falcons.

Lions LB Alex Anzalone (ankle) is active for today's game against the Cardinals. DE Michael Brockers (knee) and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) are also active. The presence of Anzalone and Reeves-Maybin likely keeps LB Josh Woods from being IDP relevant after 2 straight weeks of nice tackle production. This is a defense to avoid if possible in IDP lineups.

Lions DL Michael Brockers (knee) is active for today's game against the Bears. He's merely a low-end IDP option, though.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) and CB A.J. Parker (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Bears. DL Michael Brockers (knee) is questionable after being limited in practice the past 2 days.

Lions EDGE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Bears.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers out for the 2nd game in a row. He's dealing with shoulder and knee injuries. Fellow EDGE Romeo Okwara (shouler) and DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's trip to Chicago. Each played through questionable tags last week, though. So we'd expect them to play.

Lions DE Trey Flowers (shoulder) is inactive for today's game against the Ravens. DE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) is active. DT Michael Brockers (shoulder) is also active.

Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (shoulder, knee), DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) and EDGE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) are all questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Flowers missed practice all week and probably shouldn't be in IDP lineups even if he plays. Okwara and Brockers each put in limited practices all week. We'll update the status on all 3 Sunday morning. Detroit has already ruled out LB Jamie Collins after confirming that they're trying to trade the veteran. That should clear the way for rookie LB Derrick Barnes to get his 1st start, though we'd like to see the size of his role before considering him for IDP lineups.

Lions DE Trey Flowers is questionable for Monday night's game against the Packers. He's dealing with a shoulder issue that limited him in practice all week. We'll update his status Monday evening, but Flowers isn't worth waiting for unless you need to. Lions DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) is also questionable for the game.

The Rams have placed DE Michael Brockers on the COVID list. The only way he could make it back to the active roster before Sunday's game would be if Brockers qualifies as a "medium-risk close contact" and tests negative into the weekend. We'd bet on Brockers missing the game, though. That can only help the matchup for Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and the Arizona RBs.

Rams DEs Robert Quinn and William Hayes are active for today's game against the Giants in London. Hayes returned last week from his ankle injury, but this will be the 1st game back for Quinn after 2 weeks down with a shoulder injury. He'll still carry attractive upside against a Giants offense with issues at OT. The Rams will miss DT Michael Brockers again, however, after he returned for Week 6.

Well, forget about that positive report on Rams DE Robert Quinn. He's inactive for today's game against the Lions with the shoulder injury that kept him out in Week 5. DE William Hayes (ankle) is active, however, as is DT Michael Brockers. The Rams still look like a risky team-D play without their top pass rusher, though.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Rams DE Robert Quinn (shoulder) is expected to play at Detroit today. He missed last week's game but practiced this week and should be in IDP lineups. DE William Hayes (ankle) is expected to miss another game, however, while DT Michael Brockers (hip) will be a game-time decision. All 3 entered the day questionable. Quinn's return certainly helps the team D, though the overall injury picture -- including top CB Trumaine Johnson being out with an ankle injury -- makes the Rams a boom/bust fantasy option.

The Rams got DEs Robert Quinn (shoulder) and William Hayes (ankle) and DT Michael Brockers (hip) back for a limited practice Friday. That's progress after all 3 missed practice all last week and then Wednesday and Thursday of this week. All 3 are questionable for Sunday's game at Detroit. The Rams D will carry much more upside if this trio returns to action.

The Rams will be without 3 of their 4 starting D-linemen for today's game against the Bills. DT Michael Brockers (hip), DE Robert Quinn (shoulder) and William Hayes (ankle) are all inactive for Week 5. That leaves DT Aaron Donald as the only healthy starter. There remains upside against the Bills in L.A., but the Rams look much riskier as a team D than they would have otherwise.

Rams NT Michael Brockers left late in the 3rd quarter Sunday against the Cardinals after appearing to hurt his right knee. He limped gingerly off the field with the help of 2 trainers. Brockers isn't much of an IDP option beyond deeper, DT-required leagues, but he's key to the Rams' strong D-line.
