Damontae Kazee

The NFL is suspending safety Damontae Kazee without pay for the remainder of the regular season and any potential postseason games for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players.

Fantasy Impact

Kazee was suspended for a hit he had on Michael Pittman in Saturday's game against the Colts. He will miss the final three games of the regular season and any playoff games if the Steelers' make the postseason.

Damontae Kazee and the Steelers have agreed to terms on a two-year contact.

Fantasy Impact

Kazee will return to Pittsburgh, where he suited up nine times last season. The 29-year-old defensive back tallied two interceptions and two passes defensed last season.

The Steelers placed backup safety Damontae Kazee on the IR after tests revealed he would need surgery on his injured arm.

Fantasy Impact

The 29-year-old DB signed with the Steelers in May after playing for the Falcons and Cowboys. No timetable was provided for recovery from surgery, and Linden Stephens will presumably take over backup safety duties.

On Monday, the Steelers signed S Damontae Kazee for the 2022 season.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old former fifth-round pick will be entering his sixth year in the NFL, having previously played with Dallas and Atlanta. Kazee has tallied 12 interceptions, 17 pass deflections, seven forced fumbles, and 251 tackles in his career.

Atlanta Falcons S Damontae Kazee will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn Achilles Monday night vs. the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Kazee was drafted by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft and has 10 interceptions over his last two seasons. This is a big loss for a Falcons defense that has looked mediocre at best so far this season. The Falcons D/ST is among the worst in the league and should not be on any fantasy rosters at this time.
