2018's 19th overall pick Leighton Vander Esch recently said that he is fully recovered from his neck injury and "I’m back better than I was with my strength before I got hurt. I feel amazing. Just excited.” (Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Vander Esch played nine games last season before injuring his neck and shutting down his promising sophomore campaign after piling up 140 tackles as a rookie. The Boise State product is ranked as our 18th overall linebacker, mainly due to injury concerns. He's ranked as high as fourth by some experts and is a great IDP option if his injury is truly behind him.
