Manti Te'o steps up in Week 14 loss

by Gary VanDyke | Fri, Dec 8th 12:10pm EST

Manti Te'o recorded a team-high ten combined tackles in the loss versus Atlanta on Thursday night. Linebacker Craig Robertson was a close second with eight total tackles.

Fantasy Impact:

We can't sugar coat Te'o's performance. His performance was more of a result of default production when fellow linebacker A.J. Klien went down early with a groin injury and did not return in the contest. Te'o did manage to put himself in the right position to make the tackles, but was clearly a step behind in a lot of cases. Te'o hadn't been receiving the snaps to warrant him as an IDP play up to this point, but could possibly see the chance again in Week 15 when the New York Jets come to New Orleans if Klien isn't over the groin injury.
