Nick Fairley to miss entire 2017 season
by Mike Maher | Mon, Jun 26th 6:00pm EDT
The New Orleans Saints placed defensive lineman Nick Fairley on the reserve/non-football-injury list, ending his 2017 season, the team announced Monday. The move came after Fairley consulted with doctors regarding a heart condition he's played with since entering the league in 2011. There is a chance that this heart condition could end Fairley's career. (NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact:
This is tough news for a Saints team that brought Fairley in on a four-year, $28 million contract this offseason and hoped he would help anchor the middle of their defensive line. The Saints will definitely be without Fairley this season, and there is a decent chance that he never plays a down for them.
