Before Tampa Bay strong safety Chris Conte (knee) went down in the second half he recorded seven combined tackles. In his absence a rookie safety, Jordan Whitehead ran with the first defensive unit and reportedly held his own. Whitehead recorded six combined tackles while filling in.
Fantasy Impact:
IDP owners depending on Chris Conte will not only want to monitor his knee situation but also look at Whitehead as a viable replacement if he is out for any length of time. The rookie had impressed as a hard-hitting safety with speed to burn in the pre-season and could be in line for some upper tier IDP production opportunities if he indeed gets the call to replace Conte.
