Matt Ioannidis

The Panthers are signing defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old defensive tackle spent the past six seasons with Washington, tallying two forced fumbles, one pass deflection, 24.5 sacks, and 175 tackles. He should be helpful to a Carolina defense that ranked 21st last season.

The Washington Commanders have released defensive end Matt Ioannidis, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Fantasy Impact

Rapoport notes that the Commanders tried to trade Ioannidis before cutting him. The move creates nearly $6.9 million in cap space while accounting for $1.5 million in dead money. The 28-year-old appeared in 16 games (six starts) last season, recording 38 tackles, 11 quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks. Just three years removed from a 15-start campaign, Ioannidis should generate significant interest on the open market.

The Washington Football Team is placing DE Matt Ioannidis on season-ending IR with a torn bicep.

Fantasy Impact

Ioannidis heads to IR after recording 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss this season. In a subsequent move, DE Nate Orchard was signed to the active roster.

Matt Ioannidis ended Sunday’s 20-15 loss to the Packers with three solo tackles and one sack.

Fantasy Impact

Ioannidis should be owned in leagues that require a DE/DL roster spot. He has a team-high 8.5 sacks through Week 14 and should have a great chance to add more in the final few games.

Matt Ioannidis finished Sunday’s win over Carolina with three total tackles and two sacks.

Fantasy Impact

Ioannidis should be own across all deeper IDP leagues and started in formats that require a DE roster spot. He leads all Redskins with 7.5 sacks through Week 13.
