Jerry Tillery

The Minnesota Vikings are signing DL Jerry Tillery to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Tillery, a first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019, has spent his last season and a half with the Las Vegas Raiders. Tillery has not lived up to expectations and disappointed early in his career, but 2023 saw personal-best marks in pass-rush grade (67.5) and in run defense (63.1, next best was 46.2). He'll help man the middle of the line in Brian Flores' defense.

Per Ian Rapoport on twitter, the Los Angeles Chargers have declined the 5th-year option on DL Jerry Tillery.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Chargers declining the 5th-year option on Tillery the team has spoken that the defensive lineman remains well within their long term plans. Chargers GM Tom Telesco also stated that "I expect an even bigger role this year" of his defensive lineman meaning he may be worth a look in any IDP leagues and will have to wait until 2023 for a new contract.

The Los Angeles Chargers have selected defensive tackle Jerry Tillery with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Chargers hit the jackpot. A potential top ten talent in most draft classes, Tillery can single handedly take a game over. His motor runs hot and cold, but playing on such a talented line is sure to get his juices flowing. A power rusher who can get after the quarterback, Tillery is a name to remember for IDP owners.
