Nicholas Morrow

Morrow is playing an every snap role for the Bears defense and needs to be taken seriously. He will never have the name equity some others at his position enjoy, but he is going to outproduce many of those 'brand names' this season, just like has done over the first two weeks. Morrow racked up seven solos, four assists, and one tackle for loss in Week 2 and should continue to eat beside Roquan Smith. Morrow took on a larger role when Roquan held in and is likely being groomed to man the middle once Roquan and the Bears inevitably part ways this summer. It may not be time to anoint him as a locked-in LB2 just yet, but he will outproduce most LB3's and thus belongs in the LB2 conversation for this week's plus matchup against the Houston Texans.

Nicholas Morrow reportedly re-signing with Las Vegas Raiders

According to sources, RFA LB Nicholas Morrow is reportedly re-signing with the Las Vegas Raiders on a new deal.

Fantasy Impact

The Raiders were able to lock up one of their promising linebackers before he hit the free-agent market on Wednesday. Morrow went undrafted in the 2017 draft and played well for the Raiders last season, registering 78 tackles with three sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble across 11 games. He played last season as a restricted free-agent and now he's earned his first significant contract.
