The NFL has suspended Raiders LB Vontaze Burfict for the rest of the season for his headshot on Colts TE Jack Doyle Sunday. Burfict has a history of league suspensions for similar offenses, which explains the unprecedented length of this ban. Burfict has 3 days to appeal it, so we'll see whether it changes. Either way, Tahir Whitehead has been the more reliable Oakland LB for playing time and tackles and should be owned in most IDP leagues of at least moderate depth.
Raiders add Whitehead
The Raiders have signed LB Tahir Whitehead. The former Lion could play the middle or weak side in an Oakland defense that should sport a 4-3 base. Whitehead delivered solid tackle numbers over the past 2 years in Detroit. He figures to make sense as an LB3 in IDP drafts, but we'll see how the rest of the Raiders LB corps shapes up.
Davis returns to practice
Lions MLB Jarrad Davis returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 3 with a concussion. That indicates we can expect him to return for Sunday's game against the Vikings. When both were healthy for the Week 1 win over the Cardinals, Davis played 100% of the defensive snaps, while OLB Tahir Whitehead played just 68% (51 of 75). So Davis' return adds risk to Whitehead for IDP owners who might have used Whitehead when he filled in for Davis last week.
Davis suffers concussion
Lions MLB Jarrad Davis left Monday night's win over the Giants with a concussion. The shorter turnaround for Week 3 makes it likely that he'll miss at least 1 game. Detroit shifted Tahir Whitehead over to the middle after Davis left and inserted rookie Jalen Reeves-Maybin on the weak side. Whitehead would be a solid IDP option against the Falcons in Week 3 if Davis remains out.
Whitehead hurts knee
Lions LB Tahir Whitehead left Friday night's game with a knee injury. The Lions have yet to announce an official diagnosis, but Whitehead has since tweeted that "all is well." This doesn't seem like a situation that should affect his IDP outlook.
