Shaquille Leonard
LB - Philadelphia Eagles
2024 Outlook
Eagles LB Shaquille Leonard is officially active for a Week 14 matchup with Dallas.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard who recently signed with the Eagles will be active against Dallas. It has not been stated if Leonard will be on a snap count, but he should play an important role in the Eagles’ defense moving forward.
The Philadelphia Eagles signed LB Shaquille Leonard to a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard reportedly visited both the Eagles and Cowboys before making his decision. He has the chance to add some veteran experience to the Eagles linebacker room that struggled in Sunday's loss against the 49ers.
Free agent LB Shaquille Leonard is set to visit with the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard was released by the Colts last week after dealing with a number of injuries. He is also set to meet with the Eagles later in the week and could still make a huge difference for either defense.
The Indianapolis Colts are waiving 28-year-old LB Shaquille Leonard as they prepare for their Week 12 matchup.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard had seen his playing time decrease throughout the year as he played under a new coaching staff in 2023. He began his career with four-straight All-Pro team appearances after snagging 11 interceptions, getting 30 passes defended, and forcing 17 fumbles in four years, including leading the NFL in tackles as a rookie. Leonard wasn’t an every-down LB this year, but since he will be subjected to waivers, he can be claimed by a team who will play him more. He’s under contract through 2026 and has an injury history, so he may pass waivers and sign as a free agent instead.
Shaquille Leonard (groin) won't play in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard didn't practice all week due to a groin injury and has now been ruled out for Week 5 for the same reason. The severity of the injury is unknown, and a timetable for his return has yet to be set. Indianapolis has a tough divisional matchup against the Titans in Week 5, and missing their best defender will be less than ideal for stopping Derrick Henry and Co. on Sunday.
