Jonathan Bullard
DT - New Orleans Saints
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
The Saints agreed to terms with free agent DL Jonathan Bullard.
Fantasy Impact
Bullard had visited New Orleans in June. He reunites with Brandon Staley who he played under in Chicago. He'll add more depth and veteran leadership for New Orleans.
Free agent DE Jonathan Bullard visited the Saints on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Bullard has started 38 games across the past three seasons with the Vikings. He would likely hold a rotational role on the defensive line if he signs with New Orleans.
The Minnesota Vikings re-signed Jonathan Bullard to a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Bullard was strongest against the run last season. He should remain in a similar role on the defensive line with the Vikings.
The Bears defense could not stop the passing attack of Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton on Sunday, even though they got to the quarterback five times. One of the guys who sacked Luck was rookie Jonathan Bullard. This was Bullard's first career sack and he also recorded three solo tackles.
Fantasy Impact
Bullard had a great game, but he is not consistent enough for IDP leagues. Keep an eye on him as the rookie could earn more playing time and could develop into a decent pass rusher in Vic Fangio's system.
The Bears defense was getting run over by Ezekiel Elliot on Sunday. Jonathan Bullard and the front line could not contain the rookie running back who gashed them for 140 yards. Bullard finished the game with two tackles, but left early with an undisclosed foot injruy.
Fantasy Impact
Bullard does not have much fantasy value, but the rookie has been seeing more playing time and playing decent. If he cannot suit up for the Bears who already lost tackle Eddie Goldman, then the Bears will struggle stopping even the Lions' backfield in Week 4.
