Logan Wilson

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Cincinnati Bengals have signed LB Logan Wilson to a four-year extension worth up to $37.25 million.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson's PFF tackling grade of 90.0 was the third-best mark in the NFL in 2022, totaling 123 tackles in 15 games. A third-round pick in 2020, Wilson has been a solid contributor in the middle of the Bengals' defenses, including on multiple deep playoff runs, though he broke out in 2022. The Bengals lock in some solid consistency in the middle of their defense for the long-term future and continue to figure out deals before the inevitable monster contract owed to Joe Burrow.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson is active for Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson hurt his shoulder back in Week 6 and was expected to be sidelined for two to five weeks. He is returning right at the two week mark, just in time for a divisional battle against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson is a strong LB1 option when he sees a full complement of snaps, but he may see a slightly scaled-back workload in his first game back. Akeem Davis-Gaither will see a reduced role with Wilson returning.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson is considered week to week with a shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson is a major part of the Bengals defense, so his loss cannot be understated. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the expected timeline is 2-5 weeks. Cincinnati will likely push Germaine Pratt into a near every snap role while handing an expanded role to Akeem Davis-Gaither. Pratt is an LB2 option with Wilson sidelined, while Davis-Gaither will be more of an LB3 option for those who need bye-week help.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Bengals LB Logan Wilson had surgery last week to fix his torn labrum. He is expected to be ready for the beginning of next season.

Fantasy Impact

A healthy Wilson is a huge boost for a Bengals defense that lacked playmakers in the middle of the defense. Wilson has shown that he can be a difference maker when he is healthy, and will help Cincinnati try to reach another Super Bowl.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has been ruled out for Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson missed practice all week with the ankle injury and is set to miss Monday Night Football against the Steelers. Wilson had consistently seen over 50 percent of the snaps for three games straight prior to his injury in Week 14, so his loss will be felt by an already shaky defense. Germaine Pratt and Josh Bynes should see near every snap role in his absence. Both Bynes and Pratt have high-end LB2 upside with Wilson sidelined.
