News: Writhing in pain in the fourth quarter of an early December loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs clenched his right arm as he ran into the locker room for further evaluation. In a year marred by injuries for the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Suggs suffered a torn biceps against his bitter rival. Suggs missed just one game, before recording 16 tackles in his final six games of the year, including the postseason. Now after seeking a second opinion Suggs has opted to bypass surgery on his arm, the Baltimore Sun reported. Suggs wore a compression sleeve throughout the playoffs for added protection. The former Arizona State linebacker missed the first six games of the season with a partially torn Achilles tendon. “I'm a guy that doesn't normally doesn't get hurt and had two injuries this year that were supposed to sideline me for the rest of the year, but I just refused to accept that,” Suggs said days before the Super Bowl. “What drove me to work so hard was the possibility of being here. I knew we had a team that was right there on the brink, was always on the brink, so I just wanted to be a part of it. I didn't want to watch the season on the sideline and I definitely wanted to help my teammates reach this point.”
Analysis: Despite the injury, Suggs had 17 tackles combined in wins over Denver and New England in the AFC playoffs. In the Super Bowl, Suggs was limited to two tackles and did not have a sack. “I don't know if I'm even close to normal right now,” Suggs said on Jan. 30. “I guarantee you, come February third, when the clock reads 0:00 in the fourth quarter, if the score reads how I expect it to read and how I want it to read, I promise you I won't feel any pain.” Hopefully he'll be fine for the start of the 2013 season, and we still value Suggs as a high-end linebacker in IDP leagues for his ability to rush the passer. He's worth drafting with a mid- to late-round pick.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had two tackles in Sunday's 33-14 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Suggs has been playing injured for several weeks now after being hurt in Week 13 and missing Week 14 with a biceps injury. He had to leave Week 15 a few times, holding his arm in pain, but kept returning. In Week 16, Suggs motioned to the sideline that he was not coming out of the game after making a tackle of Ahmad Bradshaw during the game's first series. While his toughness should be applauded, his need to leave the game at some points hurts his value a little bit. With 22 tackles and two sacks on the season, Suggs should be considered a low-end option in IDP formats.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was declared active for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Giants.

News: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs, who missed Week 14 with a biceps injury after getting hurt the previous week, had one tackles in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The reigning Defensive Player of the Year left the game a few times, holding his arm, but somehow kept returning to action. The injury will obviously affect his value, but it's important to note that he seemed to tweak his injuries while in the pocket, close to the quarterback. So he's still getting in the mix, but missing time to take breaks in games. Suggs, who has 20 tackles and two sacks on the season, remains a low-end option in IDP formats.
News: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs was going to attempt to play through his severe biceps strain in the Week 14 game at Washington, but ultimately decided it was in his best interests to remain on the sidelines. Suggs did not want to miss the Beltway rivalry game against the Redskins, but was ultimately listed among the team's inactives for the game.
Analysis: Ravens coach John Harbaugh said during the practice week that Suggs could attempt to play through his injury, but it won't be against the Redskins. Suggs claimed he will be back this season but that seems like a tall order at this point. Regardless, Suggs is out for Sunday's game and Fantasy owners can bench or waive him in all IDP formats.
News: Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday linebacker Terrell Suggs possibly can play with a severe biceps strain, according to The Baltimore Sun. However, he added Suggs is still seeking a professional opinion. Suggs added he isn't sure if he will play Week 14 at Washington, but said he "definitely" will play before the end of the season. He has no thoughts of not finishing the season.
Analysis: Suggs can't seem to stay healthy. He began the season on the PUP list because of a partially-torn Achilles. He then dealt with an ankle injury. Now, he has a biceps injury that could keep him out Week 14. Fantasy owners should plan to start a healthier alternative unless Suggs' diagnosis improves dramatically.
News: The NFL Network reports Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was diagnosed with a torn right biceps, but he will continue to play through the injury. Suggs left in the fourth quarter of Baltimore's 23-20 loss to the Steelers with what was announced as an arm injury. However, coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters earlier in the day that the severity of Suggs' injury was not yet known. We have an idea what it is. It needs to be evaluated as far as possibly coming back and playing this week or not," Harbaugh told the team's official website.
Analysis: Suggs has already dealt with his share of injuries this season as he missed the team's first six games with an Achilles injury. He has also been dealing with a nagging ankle injury and now reportedly has a torn right biceps. While he will attempt to play through his injury, Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his status leading up to Week 14. Suggs has recorded 19 tackles and a pair of sacks in six games thus far and can be considered a viable low-end option in most IDP formats when healthy.
News: Coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that linebacker Terrell Suggs has an "upper arm injury" and will be re-evaluated sometime later in the week to determine the severity. “We don’t know the extent of it,” Harbaugh told the team's official website. “We have an idea what it is. It needs to be evaluated as far as possibly coming back and playing this week or not.” Suggs left in the fourth quarter of Baltimore's 23-20 loss to the Steelers with what was announced as an arm injury. He had two solo tackles prior to leaving the contest.
Analysis: Suggs has already dealt with his share of injuries this season as he missed the team's first six games with an Achilles injury. He has also been dealing with a nagging ankle injury and now has an upper arm issue. However, the Ravens aren't sure how serious his latest ailment is, so Fantasy owners will have to keep an eye on his status heading into Week 14. Suggs has recorded 19 tackles and a pair of sacks in six games thus far and can be considered a viable low-end option in most IDP formats when healthy.
News: As expected, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was ruled active for Week 13 against the Steelers. Suggs was able to practice without restriction this week, despite being listed on the team's injury report with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Suggs has been able to stay on the field since coming back from surgery but has not been as effective as expected. He has just 13 tackles, including one sack in his first four games back from injury and is likely not back at 100 percent. He should be viewed as a viable option in deeper IDP formats heading into Week 13.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was listed as probable on Friday's injury report and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Steelers. He was a full participant in practice leading up to Sunday despite a lingering ankle injury.
Analysis: Suggs hasn't resembled his dominating self since returning from the PUP list in Week 7 as he has posted just two sacks and 17 tackles through his first five games. He had registered 25 sacks in his previous two seasons, but could still be limited by an Achilles injury he suffered in the offseason. Consider him an adequate option in deeper Fantasy IDP formats for Week 13.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs matched a season high with four tackles and collected a sack during Baltimore's 16-13 overtime victory over San Diego in Week 12. Suggs took down quarterback Philip Rivers for one of the six sacks the Chargers generated in Sunday's game.

He had registered 25 sacks in his previous two seasons, but could still be limited by an Achilles injury he suffered in the offseason. Consider him an adequate option in deeper Fantasy IDP formats, but prepare to pounce on him if he heats up quickly.

Analysis: Suggs was a full participant in practice all week long and was never in any danger of missing Sunday's game.

He should be considered as a viable option in deeper IDP formats heading into Week 11, now that he is officially active.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was a full participant in practice for the third straight day Friday and is being considered as probable for Week 11 against the Steelers. Suggs has been dealing with a nagging ankle injury and is coming back from a partially-torn Achilles tendon.
Analysis: Suggs has yet to record a sack in three games thus far but has racked up 10 tackles with three passes defended. With Ben Roethlisberger out for Sunday's matchup, Suggs should be able to get after the quarterback so keep him active in deeper IDP formats.

Analysis: Suggs, who was activated from the PUP list before Week 7's game against the Texans, has 11 tackles and a sack through three games this season. He has 25 sacks in the last two seasons, combined, and, while he has been hobbled so far this year, he can always break loose for a sack. The Ravens face the Steelers in Week 11.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs listed as probable on the team's injury report for Week 10 against the Raiders as he continues to deal with a ankle injury. Suggs was a full participant in practice during the week and is expected to play Sunday.
Analysis: Suggs failed to record a sack his last time out and has picked up eight tackles through his first two games since being activated from the PUP list. He showed no lingering effects of the injury and is worth keeping active in most Fantasy IDP formats for Week 10.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs notched four tackles during his second game of the season in Baltimore's 25-15 victory over Cleveland in Week 9. Suggs, who was listed as probable on the injury report while working past an ankle injury, now has eight stops on the season.
Analysis: Suggs' performance Sunday wasn't as impressive as his showing in his debut when he also had a sack against Houston. But those numbers will come for the reigning defensive player of the year as he continues to work back to full strength. The 30-year-old should be on the majority of rosters in Fantasy IDP formats at this point.
News: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs is active for Week 9 at Cleveland as he continues to work past an ankle injury, in addition to strengthening an Achilles injury that forced him to miss the first six games of the season. Suggs was listed as probable on the injury report.
Analysis: Suggs made a strong impression during his season debut against Houston in Week 7 and finished with four tackles and a sack in his first game since last season. He showed no lingering effects of the injury and is worth keeping active in most Fantasy IDP formats for Week 9.
News: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs was listed as probable on the team's injury report for Week 9 at Cleveland as he continues to move past injuries, including an ankle issue. Suggs was a full participant in practice throughout the week and is expected to play in his second straight game.
Analysis: Suggs made a strong impression during his season debut against Houston in Week 7 and finished with four tackles and a sack in his first game since recovering from a partially torn Achilles tendon. He showed no lingering effects of the injury and is worth an addition in most IDP formats ahead of the team's next game.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs made his presence felt during his season debut against the Texans in Week 7. Suggs played through the majority of the game and was able to take down Matt Schaub early in the first quarter for the game's first sack. He registered four tackles (three solo) and deflected a pass in a 43-13 defeat.
Analysis: Suggs was able to fill in a void for the Ravens in the absence of Ray Lewis and nearly looked like his old self. It was remarkable to see Suggs play this productive coming off just three practice sessions since suffering a partially-torn Achilles tendon. As long as he stays healthy, we expect him to keep improving. Though he's not back at 100 percent, he can still make an impact and should be viewed as a viable IDP option in deeper formats moving forward.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was listed as active for Sunday's contest against the Texans in Week 7. Suggs was removed from the PUP list earlier this week and is just five and a half months from suffering a partially-torn Achilles tendon. He is expected to see limited action.
Analysis: The Ravens released linebacker Sergio Kindle, which signaled a sign that Suggs was nearing the end of his speedy recovery. That said, at this point it is uncertain what kind of role he'll see in his first game back from his torn Achilles. Suggs, who has back-to-back double-digit sack seasons, will try to bring a spark to a defense that will be without the services of Ray Lewis or Lardarius Webb for the remainder of the season. Fantasy owners should keep him active in deeper IDP formats, though he should be eased into lineups before starting him across the board.
News: Baltimore defensive lineman Terrell Suggs has been removed from the PUP list and will play Sunday in Houston for Week 7, reports the team's official site Saturday. Suggs is just five and a half months from suffering a partially-torn Achilles' tendon.
Analysis: Suggs will attempt to energize a Baltimore defense that has just 10 sacks on the season. The team doesn't have Lardarius Webb or Ray Lewis for the rest of the year so Suggs is a necessary piece. He can be active in deeper Fantasy IDP formats, though owners should see how he eases into the defense before starting him across the board.
News: ESPN reports Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who has missed the first six games with an Achilles injury, is targeting a return to the lineup Week 7 against Texans, according to league sources. NFL.com refutes the report by stating the Ravens have no specific plan to activate Suggs for game action, according to three sources close to the situation. Suggs is taking his rehab "day to day" and has "no idea" when he will be considered game-ready, according to a source with knowledge of his condition and mindset. A club source said he would be "shocked" if Suggs plays Sunday. Suggs finally weighed in on all rumors. "Come Sunday I may or may not be out there," he said Thursday. "If it didn't come from coach Harbaugh or myself, its not a credible source. There's no plan in place. Take it day by day."
Analysis: Well, this story just got very interesting. Obviously, the Ravens defense is licking its wounds after losing linebacker Ray Lewis and cornerback Lardarius Webb to injuries last week, but the early reports have been the Ravens won't rush Suggs back and mid-November has always been the target date. This news obviously is intriguing, but even if Suggs miraculously suits up Sunday, he probably would be on a snap count seeing how he just returned to practice Wednesday after a long layoff. Suggs would still be a very risky Fantasy IDP player and the Ravens DST would be a questionable start going up against a very good offense in Houston.
News: The Ravens activated linebacker Terrell Suggs (Achilles) off the PUP list Wednesday. The team now has a three-week practice window to decide whether or not to add him to the active roster or place him on IR.
Analysis: While it's good news to see Suggs ready come off the PUP list that doesn't mean he is ready to return to game action. The Ravens aren't expected to rush Suggs back and he is still looking at a mid-November return at the earliest. Suggs is worth stashing in deep IDP formats, but continue to track his progress.
News: CBSSports.com NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports the Ravens will activate linebacker Terrell Suggs (Achilles) off the PUP list on Tuesday or Wednesday. However, he will be very limited during practice initially.

News: NFL Network reports the Ravens aren't expected to rush back linebacker Terrell Suggs, who has been on the PUP list because of an Achilles injury, despite the injuries (Lardarius Webb, Ray Lewis) they suffered on defense Week 6. Suggs is eligible to come off the PUP list this week, but NFL Network reports the Ravens are still targeting a mid-November return at the earliest.
Analysis: Fantasy owners are eagerly awaiting Suggs' return, but if this report turns out to be true, then he is still several weeks away from playing in a game. Suggs is worth stashing in deep IDP formats, but continue to track his progress.
News: Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Friday that linebacker Terrell Suggs continues to make progress in his recovery from an Achilles injury and should return before the end of the season. Suggs is eligible to be reinstated from PUP list beginning Week 7. "He’s going to be back," Harbaugh told the Carroll County Times. "He's doing well. The main thing we want to now is make sure there's no setback and he continues to get in shape and continues to get stronger."
Analysis: Suggs, the reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year, had surgery in May to repair a partial tear in his right Achilles tendon and was hoping to return by the end of October. It appeared he would be lost for the entire season, but he has tried to dismiss that doubt. He finished with a career-high 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles last year, but Harbaugh was skeptical he would be able to return to his standout form right away. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor his status as he's worth stashing in deeper IDP formats.
News: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs will miss at least the first six weeks of the season after the Ravens placed him on the PUP list Monday. Suggs, the reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year, partially tore his Achilles tendon last spring but was hoping to return for Week 1.
Analysis: Suggs attempted to rehab his Achilles injury quickly, but the Ravens will be cautious with their star linebacker. The Arizona State product, who will turn 30 during the regular season, finished with a career-high 14 sacks last year. It's encouraging Suggs was not placed on injured reserve and could return at some point this year. Fantasy owners shouldn't spend anything more than a late-round pick on him in IDP drafts.
News: Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs told ESPN Friday he's planning to play this season. Rehab has been going well and promised to make an impact for the Ravens this season. "I like the progress that I'm making," Suggs said. "I came out of the boot last week. So I'm just walking right now, doing muscle strengthening, trying to get the muscle back strong. And I like where I'm at right now, loving the process. ... Y'all will see me play this year."
Analysis: Suggs was named the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year after he had 70 tackles, including 14 sacks, and was a threat all over the field from his hybrid linebacker-end position. Rookie Courtney Upshaw might be asked to step up in his place while he's out. With no firm timetable on when Suggs will return, Fantasy owners shouldn't spend anything more than a late pick on him. Remember, drafting Suggs means keeping him on your bench for at least the first seven or eight weeks of the season.
News: Did outside linebacker Terrell Suggs tear his Achilles doing conditioning drills or playing basketball? Herman (Sonny) Hoffman, an Arizona gym director, says it was the latter. Hoffman told ESPN he and his staff saw Suggs injure his lower leg during a league basketball tournament. Suggs has maintained he tore his Achilles doing a conditioning exercise. Meanwhile, Suggs has had surgery and told the Baltimore Sun that he will be back sooner than anyone thinks. "I'm going to shock a lot of people when I'm coming out of that tunnel," he said.

News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had surgery repair a torn Achilles tendon Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery. The Ravens didn't indicate whether Suggs will be able to play this fall, or if it was a full tear or partial tear (Suggs indicated previously that it was a partial tear). The Ravens are expected to line up second-round pick Courtney Upshaw at Suggs' rush linebacker spot and have Paul Kruger take over at strongside linebacker, Jarret Johnson's former position. "Terrell had a successful surgical procedure done on his Achilles tendon this afternoon by Dr. Bob Anderson," general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. "After some recovery time, Sizzle' will begin the process of rehabbing the area. We know he will work hard to get back on the field with his teammates as soon as the doctors and trainers allow. We're confident that he can make a full recovery."

Suggs says he suffered a partial tear while doing a conditioning drill. It was previously reported by ESPN that Suggs hurt himself playing basketball. "I went to stop and turn and I thought I sprained it," Suggs wrote. "Went to doc and said it's a partial tear." When asked if he would play this season, Suggs wrote "Absolutely. Middle to end of October. Definitely beginning of November."

News: Multiple sources are reporting Thursday that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs will miss the 2012 season with a torn Achilles' tendon. He suffered the injury playing basketball, according to ESPN. Suggs was named the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year after he had 70 tackles, including 14 sacks, and was a threat all over the field from his hybrid linebacker-end position. Rookie Courtney Upshaw might be asked to step up in his place. "We are in contact with Terrell. He will see a specialist early next week, and we’ll know more at that time," the Ravens said in a statement.
Analysis: This is a devastating blow for the Ravens defense as Suggs has been a huge contributor from season to season. Obviously Suggs himself shouldn't be a part of Fantasy teams so long as he's on injured reserve. There's some concern that he might not be able to regain his explosiveness following the surgery -- it's something to consider for those that own him in dynasty/keeper leagues.
News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs, the most dynamic player on the Ravens’ staunch defense, claimed the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

He earned 21 votes, seven more than Minnesota DL Jared Allen. “There is not a harder worker in football than Terrell Suggs,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
Analysis: Suggs had 70 tackles, including 14 sacks, and was a threat all over the field from his hybrid linebacker-end position. He also forced seven fumbles and had two interceptions. “That’s why when you sit back and watch him year after year, week after week, I am just proud to say that I love how he understands the game now,” Lewis said. Fantasy owners should target Suggs with an early-round selection again in 2012 IDP drafts.

He is putting together one of the most complete campaigns of his career, with two interceptions and 53 tackles on the year as well. Consider him a strong LB option in IDP Fantasy formats.

Suggs, who also posted three sacks in Baltimore's season opener against Pittsburgh, has nine total sacks this year. Despite not having Ray Lewis (foot) active, the Ravens matched a franchise record with nine sacks on 49ers QB Alex Smith.
Analysis: Suggs said coach John Harbaugh downplayed the significance of playing his brother Jim and the 49ers all week. Suggs and the Ravens weren't listening. "The No. 1 game plan was to win the Harbaugh Bowl," said Suggs, who also forced a fumble Thursday. "It was really important to him. We really wanted to win it for him." Fantasy owners should continue to view Suggs as a strong option in the majority of IDP formats.

Suggs entered Sunday's game ninth in the NFL with five sacks and added to that impressive total with his second sack in as many games. He also reached double-digits in tackles for the first time this season and now has 33 total stops on the year.
Analysis: Suggs still takes it personally that Arizona didn't draft him after he attended Arizona State. "It worked out because the right thing was for me to be a Baltimore Raven," Suggs said. "But I'm going to always have a little something extra in the tank for Arizona." The 29-year-old remains a strong pass-rusher on one of the NFL's toughest defense. Keep him active in most Fantasy IDP formats.

News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs totaled three tackles (two solo), one interception and two pass defenses in Week 2 against the Titans.
Analysis: Suggs got his first interception in Week 2 since 2008. It was another strong performance from him after a three-sack outing in Week 1 against the Steelers. Suggs doesn't get as many tackles as we would like from a Fantasy LB, but he still does enough to be a high-end Fantasy option.

News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs was activated from the non-football injury list on Saturday. He was dealing with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Suggs was one of the more impressive pass-rushers in all of football last season, and his level of play has improved with each year that passes by with him in the league. Suggs should be fine for the start of the preseason, so Fantasy owners should still look toward selecting him as a viable mid-round pick in IDP formats on Draft Day.
News: Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs was dinged up and had his hamstring wrapped during practice on Thursday, and he sat out the rest of practice. It doesn't appear serious and seems more precautionary than anything else. DE/LB Paul Kruger replaced him with the first-team defense and Suggs was placed on the active non-football injury list.
Analysis: Suggs was one of the more impressive pass-rushers in all of football last season, and his level of play has improved with each year that passes by with him in the league. The hammy issue does not appear to be serious, and we expect him to rest until the injury is completely healed. Suggs should be fine for the start of the preseason, so Fantasy owners should still look toward selecting him as a viable mid-round pick in IDP formats on Draft Day.

Analysis: Suggs added his 10th sack of the year on Monday night and is just half a sack away from matching his career high. While he does not contribute much in the form of tackles or interceptions, his ability to get after the quarterback is what makes him valuable in Fantasy. Continue to view the 28-year-old as a No. 2 Fantasy LB heading into Week 15 against the Saints.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs was a pass rushing forcein the Week 13 game against the Steelers. He sakced QB Ben Roethlisberger 1 1/2 times on the night, and nearly had another but Big Ben fought him off and threw the ball away. In all, he hit Roethlisberger five times. Suggs added five tackles -- four solo -- and three were for a loss.
Analysis: Suggs now stands tied for seventh in the NFL with nine sacks on the year and he's just 1 1/2 away from tying his career-high set in 2004. He continues to reek havoc on opposing QBs, so continue to utilize him as a No. 2 Fantasy LB moving forward.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs made five tackles in a Week 12 win over the Buccaneers, but couldn't add to his 7 1/2 sacks.
Analysis: Suggs is in IDP Fantasy lineups for his sack ability, so when he doesn't get to the QB, it's a disappointing day. Still, he remains a useful option in deeper leagues heading into Week 13 vs. Pittsburgh.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs got a sack in his third straight game, as Baltimore defeated Carolina in Week 11. Suggs also made seven tackles in the contest. He now has 7.5 sacks on the year.

News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs recorded his team's only two sacks of the game in Week 10 against the Falcons. He also finished with four solo tackles and four quarterback hits. Suggs has four sacks in his last four games.
Analysis: Suggs' Fantasy value would be a lot higher if he was still DL-eligible. While he is one of the premier pass rushers in the NFL because he doesn't get a lot of tackles that keeps his Fantasy value down as an LB. Suggs is a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy LB.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs made two tackles, including a sack of QB Chad Henne, in a Week 9 win over Miami.
Analysis: Suggs has a sack in every other game over the last five and has 4 1/2 on the season. While he isn't the menace he used to be, Suggs remains worth using in deeper IDP Fantasy leagues for Week 10 at Atlanta.

Analysis: Suggs continues to be a menace to opposing quarterbacks and is off to a much better pace than last season when he had just 4 1/2 sacks all year. He already has 3 1/2 sacks this year. Suggs is not a great source for consistent tackle numbers, but is worth starting in most IDP formats for his ability to get after the quarterback.
News: Ravens pass-rushing LB Terrell Suggs had three solo tackles and a sack of Tom Brady at New England in Week 6. Suggs has three sacks on the season.
Analysis: Suggs is a must-start in IDP leagues that do not reward tackles, but for those that do, he's never been anything more than a low-end No. 2 option since he doesn't rack up the hits. He should be productive vs. Buffalo in Week 7.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs managed just one tackle in a Week 5 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Suggs isn't a Fantasy factor for his tackling, as he averages just four a game over his career. Owners want Suggs to get to the QB, which he has done 2.5 times this season. Continue to use the veteran in deeper IDP Fantasy formats.

Analysis: Suggs now has 1 1/2 sacks on the season for Baltimore to go with 18 tackles and a forced fumble. Suggs doesn't get a boatload of tackles and that is why he's limited in Fantasy IDP leagues. Suggs can be active in deeper IDP leagues for Week 4 against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs (ankle) is active for Week 3 against Cleveland. Suggs has 10 tackles and 1/2 sack in two games.
Analysis: Suggs is a very good pass rusher off the corner for Baltimore. However, he is kept down in Fantasy in some regards since he doesn't always put up high tackle numbers for a linebacker. View Suggs as more of a No. 2 Fantasy LB in IDP leagues for Week 3.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs finished with four tackles (two solo) and one quarterback hit in Week 2 against the Bengals. He has 10 tackles and 1/2 sack in two games.
Analysis: Suggs is a very good pass rusher off the corner for Baltimore. However, he is kept down in Fantasy in some regards since he doesn't always put up high tackle numbers for a linebacker. View Suggs as more of a No. 2 Fantasy LB.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs combined for six tackles and recorded 1/2 a sack against the Jets in Week 1. He had four solo tackles and also forced a fumble in the 10-9 win.
Analysis: Suggs had a career low 4 1/2 sacks a year ago but showed that he was back in Week 1 and should have a solid season. He is dangerous on the pass rush and has averaged at least 40 tackles in his first seven seasons. He goes up against a Bengals offense in Week 2 that has a weaker offensive line than the one he just faced so Fantasy owners should consider Suggs as a No. 2 Fantasy DL with upside.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs is having a strong preseason and is looking fast off the corner as he is chasing down opposing quarterbacks. But that is not his first concern as the 2010 opener nears. “I feel a little bit faster, but that isn’t the question,” Suggs told the Baltimore Sun. “The question is, can I sustain it through 16 games? Everybody always starts out good, but I’m really focusing on finishing stronger.”
Analysis: Suggs has six tackles and one sack in the preseason. The 2009 season was the first time he missed games due to injury in his seven-year career. It cut into his ability to rush the passer, as he recorded a career-low 4 1/2 sacks. Now that he is healthy, Suggs could get back to being a threat for double-digit sacks. Suggs is a No. 2 Fantasy DL with upside.
News: The Baltimore Sun reports Ravens LB Terrell Suggs, who finished with a career-low 4.5 sacks and 59 tackles last season, is participating in his first full offseason with the Ravens since 2007. Suggs, 27, skipped all of the offseason camps in 2008 and 2009 because the Ravens used the franchise tag on him. The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker signed a six-year, $62.5 million contract in July that included $38.1 million guaranteed. But he reported to training camp weighing close to 280 pounds. "I think last season is kind of where it belongs," Suggs said. "I'm not really thinking about it anymore. Last season is last season. The only thing I'm focused on right now is this season." His goal this year is to trim down to 260 pounds. "Terrell Suggs has worked hard, and he's been here most of the days," coach John Harbaugh said. "The days he's been here, I think he's worked exceptionally hard. He's committed to getting into great shape."
Analysis: We look for Suggs to play better also, and he's a solid LB in IDP leagues. He's a good source of sacks, and look for his tackle totals to rise. He's worth a late-round pick on Draft Day in 2010.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs, who hadn't recorded a sack since Week 9, finally got one Week 17 at Oakland, finishing the season with 4 1/2. He also had three tackles, including two solo.
Analysis: Suggs didn't have one of his better seasons sack-wise, but he's still a safer bet than most linebackers to record a handful. Unfortunately, his lack of tackles will make him just a No. 3 Fantasy LB entering 2010.

News: Baltimore has listed the following players as inactive for Week 13 on Monday night at Green Bay: RB Charles Ali, DB Ed Reed, LB Terrell Suggs, DL Oniel Cousins, TE L.J. Smith and DL Kelly Talavou.
Analysis: Reed has battled various injuries this season but apparently this one has gotten the better of him. He is definitely worth using in all Fantasy IDP leagues, when healthy, but you can keep him reserved for Week 13. Suggs was expected to be out and is also a solid IDP option, when healthy. The rest of the players listed above can be left on waivers in all leagues.

Analysis: Suggs was injured in Week 10 and was expected to be out for about three weeks. That would make it possible he could return for Week 13, but you'll have to monitor his progress. Suggs is a solid option in IDP formats when healthy, but should be reserved in all formats until further notice.
News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs (knee) has been listed as doubtful for the team's Week 12 game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Suggs was injured in Week 10 and was expected to be out for about three weeks, so don't expect him to be active Week 12. Week 13 at Green Bay might also be a bit of a stretch. Suggs is a solid option in IDP formats when healthy, but should be reserved in all formats for Week 12.
News: The Ravens have declared their inactives for Week 11 vs. Indianapolis: QB John Beck, RB Matt Lawrence, RB Jalen Parmele, LB Terrell Suggs, DL Brandon McKinney and DL Kelly Talavou.
Analysis: Suggs was named out earlier this week, so you should have already benched him in all IDP formats. The rest of these guys have no Fantasy value.
News: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs will miss Sunday's game against the Colts because of a knee injury. Suggs has a sprained ligament in his right knee, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. Suggs was injured on an illegal chop block by Browns quarterback Brady Quinn following an interception by the Ravens Monday night in Baltimore's 16-0 win. The three-time Pro Bowler will miss his first NFL game in seven years - ending his streak at 105 and couple be out up to three weeks. Suggs will be replaced by rookie Paul Kruger.
Analysis: Suggs is too good of a player to let go of in IDP leagues. Keep him reserved for now, and consider Kruger a low-end replacement for Suggs if you can't find a more suitable replacement off waivers.
News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs left the Monday night game at Cleveland with a knee sprain after limping off the field in the 3rd quarter. Suggs finished the game with one tackle.
Analysis: Suggs picked up his first sack since Week 4 against New England in the Week 9 game but didn't get one before getting injured against the lowly Browns.

News: Ravens DB Ed Reed (concussion), LB Terrell Suggs (concussion, chest) and TE L.J. Smith (hamstring) are all active for Week 2 at San Diego. Reed and Suggs were probable on the injury report while Smith was questionable.
Analysis: The Ravens had little doubt that Reed and Suggs would not be active for Week 2. They are bothy high-end Fantasy options in IDP leagues, so make sure to keep them active. Smith, who missed Week 1, was more up in the air but it seems he is finally ready to make his Ravens debut. Smith will provide back up to Todd Heap, so he has minimal Fantasy appeal until further notice.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs (concussion, chest) went through a full practice Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 2 at San Diego.

I was a little woozy. I was just really dazed, but...I just shrugged it off, just a little dazed then and there. I'm good." Think of Suggs as a No. 2 Fantasy LB and Reed as a low-end No. 1/top-end No. 2 Fantasy DB. Monitor their status the rest of the week before making a decision on them for Week 2 in IDP formats.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs made his preseason debut in the finale Thursday against the Falcons after missing most of the preseason with an Achilles' injury. Suggs had three tackles and one sack.

News: Ravens coach John Harbaugh said it will be a game-time decision whether LB Terrell Suggs plays against the Falcons on Thursday. Suggs, who has not played in the preseason since injuring his Achillies tendon early in training camp, said he believes he will play against Atlanta.
Analysis: Suggs hurt his heel on Aug. 2 and has been sidelined ever since. Fantasy owners should not be concerned about his status for the start of the regular season as it does sound like he'll be ready for that. Keep thinking of Suggs as a No. 2 Fantasy LB on Draft Day as this injury should not slow him down.
News:The Baltimore Sun reports that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs (heel) took part in Monday's morning walkthrough and was able to practice Monday.

He can continue to be counted on as a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB if he continues to bring his sack and tackle totals from last season on a consistent basis (he led the Ravens with eight sacks and finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles in 2008).

Analysis: Suggs should be a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB in IDP leagues this season as long as he is able to get healthy by the start of the regular season. He led the Ravens with eight sacks in 2008 and finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles.
News: When Terrell Suggs shed his franchise tag to become the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens expected him to hone his pass-rushing skills at training camp. Unfortunately, Suggs has been limping to meetings with a strained left Achilles' tendon, an injury that will keep him out of Baltimore's preseason opener against the Washington Redskins on Thursday. Suggs has never missed a game, which is part of the reason why the team values him. Now he's trying to get back on the field, but the process has been frustrating. "Every day I want to try to give it a go, but as soon as I start walking on it I start feeling the swelling and the liquid in the heel," Suggs said. "I don't want to rush it back and then get hurt again. I don't want to have a season like that."
Analysis: Suggs should be OK for the start of the regular season. He can continue to be counted on as a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB if he continues to bring his sack and tackle totals from last season on a consistent basis (he led the Ravens with eight sacks and finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles in 2008).

He can continue to be counted on as a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB if he continues to bring his sack and tackle totals from last season on a consistent basis.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs hurt his heel in practice Monday and was wearing a protective boot afterward, but dismissed the injury as insignificant. Suggs recently signed a long-term extension with the Ravens, ensuring him as a part of the swarming defense.
Analysis: Suggs should be OK. He can continue to be counted on as a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB if he continues to bring his sack and tackle totals from last season on a consistent basis (he led the Ravens with eight sacks and finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles in 2008).
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs agreed to terms Wednesday on a six-year contract, a deal that provides a long-term solution to his unsettled status as the team's franchise player. Suggs has been the Ravens' franchise player for the past two seasons. "Getting a deal done with Terrell is consistent with our history of retaining our best Pro Bowl players, like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Jonathan Ogden, Todd Heap and Jamal Lewis," Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome said. "Securing Terrell for six seasons gives us a premier pass-rusher whose ability to stop the run does not get enough credit." During his six years with the Ravens, Suggs has 53 sacks and has not missed a game. He led Baltimore with eight sacks last season and added four more in the postseason, including two in the AFC championship game against Pittsburgh after missing an entire week of practice with a shoulder injury. "This will be Suggs' seventh season, and he is still a young player," Newsome said. "Remember, he came to us as a 20-year old rookie after his junior year in college. This is a good day for the Ravens franchise."
Analysis: Suggs can continue to be counted on as a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB if he continues to bring his sack and tackle totals from last season on a consistent basis (he led the Ravens with eight sacks and finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles in 2008). Having him locked up will allow the Ravens DST to remain a No. 1 unit as well.
News: The Baltimore Sun reports there are no signs that the Ravens and LB Terrell Suggs will reach a new contract before Wednesday's NFL deadline. Suggs, to whom the Ravens applied the franchise tag for the second straight year, said 2.5 weeks ago that the sides "were close" on a long-term deal. But no agreement appears imminent after the sides talked late last week. The deadline to reach a new contract with franchise players is Wednesday. If no deal is struck, the sides can't sign a deal until after the season and Suggs would earn $10.2 million this year under the tag.
Analysis: Suggs, 26, went to his third Pro Bowl this season after leading the Ravens with eight sacks. He finished third on the team with a career-best 102 tackles. Keep an eye on what happens with Suggs and his contract, but Suggs remains a top-end No.2 LB and is a great source of sacks and tackles.
News: The Ravens used the franchise tag on Pro Bowl LB Terrell Suggs for the second consecutive year, a transaction that costs the team $10.2 million against the 2009 salary cap. That's the one-year salary Suggs is guaranteed if he signs their offer sheet; he can still shop himself around to other clubs but would force the team that signs him to give Baltimore two first-round picks as compensation. A three-time Pro Bowl selection who led the team with eight sacks while recording 63 total tackles last season, Suggs was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Now, teammates Ray Lewis and Bart Scott will be free agents while Suggs deals with the tag. Lewis has been linked to a spot with the Cowboys while Scott has been linked to reuniting with former defensive coordinator Rex Ryan in New York with the Jets.
Analysis: Suggs is expected to remain with the Ravens and should be considered a quality No. 2 Fantasy LB. Lewis might not contribute stellar tackle numbers if he moves on to a new 3-4 scheme with different nuances, and his production has taken a dip as he's gotten older. He'd also be considered a No. 2 Fantasy LB unless he starts in the middle of a 4-3 scheme. Scott could be a great sleeper in 2009 if he's working as an inside linebacker, especially in a 4-3 scheme or in a 3-4 setting where he'd emulate Ray Lewis' role. He should be considered a No. 3 option.
News: A sprained right shoulder might keep Ravens LB Terrell Suggs out of the AFC championship game on Sunday at the Steelers. With his arm in a sling, Suggs spoke to the media about his ailing shoulder. Suggs hurt his shoulder while tackling Tennessee quarterback Kerry Collins in the second quarter of Baltimore's 13-10 upset last Saturday. He did not play in the second half and has not practiced this week, which means his streak of playing in 96 consecutive games over six seasons could be in serious jeopardy. "I'm doing whatever I can. I've never missed a game and I definitely don't want to start with the AFC Championship game," he said. "I'm rehabbing four or five times a day. Come Sunday, we'll see. ... This game is that important. It's so important that I would consider sitting out to win it."
Analysis: Suggs is an instrumental piece of a defense that ranked second in the NFL during the regular season. He led the Ravens with eight sacks, had a career-high 102 tackles and intercepted two passes, taking one back for a touchdown. Even if Suggs can play, there's no guarantee he can last beyond his initial encounter with someone in a black jersey. He couldn't describe the injury in specifics, but said "it could be major ligament damage." Suggs isn't a safe play in Playoff Fantasy leagues but should remain a top option in IDP leagues in 2009.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs totaled five tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery during a Week 17 win against the Jaguars. It was the first time in five games Suggs failed to record a sack.
Analysis: Suggs had another outstanding season with 68 tackles, eight sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two touchdowns. He is one of the NFL's best pass rushers and a decent No. 2 Fantasy DL heading into 2009.
News: Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs had five tackles and half a sack in Week 16's Saturday night win over the Dallas Cowboys. Suggs now has 63 tackles on the season to go with eight sacks.
Analysis: Suggs is a solid defender whether he is on the line or playing as a conventional linebacker. Continue thinking of him as a high-end Fantasy option at the linebacker position heading into Week 17 against Jacksonville.
News: LB Terrell Suggs (thigh) will attempt to make it four straight games with at least a half sack when the Ravens travel to Dallas for a Week 16 matchup on Saturday. Suggs is listed as probable for the game and has seven and a half sacks on the season along with two interceptions and 78 tackles.
Analysis: Suggs is a solid defender whether he is on the line or playing as a conventional linebacker. Continue thinking of him as a high-end Fantasy option at the linebacker position.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs totaled two solo tackles and one sack during a Week 15 loss to the Steelers. He also had one forced fumble. Suggs leads the Ravens with 7 1/2 sacks.
Analysis: Suggs is solid whether he has his hand on the ground or he is playing up as a linebacker. Continue to treat Suggs as a high-end Fantasy LB.
News: The Pittsburgh Steelers had better look out for Terrell Suggs this week, for reasons that have nothing to do with bounties, late hits or dirty play. Suggs is having an outstanding season for the Baltimore Ravens, who can earn a share of the AFC North lead by defeating the Steelers at home Sunday. Suggs has a team-high 6.5 sacks, is second on the league's second-ranked defense with 86 tackles and twice has returned interceptions for touchdowns. "He's playing tremendous," Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan said Wednesday. "He's as good a run guy as there is in the league and he's a great pass rusher. He's had a great year for us." Suggs already has more sacks than all of last season, and is nine tackles short of matching his 2007 total.
Analysis: Suggs has played great this year and should do well against the Steelers. Continue to start Suggs as a No. 1 Fantasy option in all IDP formats.
News: In the Ravens' 24-10 win vs. the Redskins in Week 14, notable defensive players included: FS Ed Reed (two INTs, fumble-return for touchdown, three tackles), LB Ray Lewis (13 total tackles, sack), LB Bart Scott (six solo tackles) and LB Terrell Suggs (four total tackles, sack).
Analysis: All of these defenders should be started in Fantasy IDP league play when the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 15.
News: Ravens LB Ray Lewis (seven tackles) led the way defensively for Baltimore in a Week 13 rout of the Bengals. Also contributing: LB Bart Scott (five tackles, 1/2 sack), DB Corey Ivy (three tackles, 1/2 sack), LB Jarret Johnson (three tackles, 1/2 sack), LB Terrell Suggs (two tackles, 1/2 sack) and LB Brendon Ayanbadejo (sack).
Analysis: Lewis and Suggs are must-start Fantasy options in IDP leagues at the LB spot, while Scott has some minimal value in deeper formats. The other guys should all be ignored in Week 14 vs. Washington.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs had seven tackles Sunday at the Giants but no sacks or turnovers.
Analysis: Suggs has played great this year and was due for a bad game like this after playing so well the past few weeks. Continue to start Suggs as a No. 1 Fantasy option and look for him to bounce back in Week 12 against the Eagles.
News: In the Ravens' 37-27 win at Cleveland, Baltimore LB Terrell Suggs only had two total tackles but made an easy interception late in the game that he returned for a touchdown. The INT iced the win for the Ravens.
Analysis: Suggs' tackles weren't so good, but his touchdown and interception certainly helped his cause. He's still a quality low-end No. 1 Fantasy LB worth starting when he plays at Houston in Week 10.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs recorded seven tackles, a sack and an interception return for a touchdown in a Week 7 win over Miami. The sack was his fourth of the year and the pick his fourth career interception.
Analysis: Suggs took a gift from Chad Pennington and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown on Sunday to complete a superb day for the former Arizona State star. He remains a solid No. 2 Fantasy LB in all IDP formats.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs had five tackles Sunday at the Colts.
Analysis: Suggs is a solid LB and should be started in Week 7 at Miami as a No. 2 option in all IDP leagues.
News: Notable Ravens defenders from Week 5 vs. the Titans include: DB Jim Leonhard (eight total tackles), LB Ray Lewis (seven total tackles), LB Jarrett Johnson (six total tackles), DL Justin Bannan (three total tackles, interception) and CB Chris McAlister (solo tackle, interception). Stud defenders Ed Reed and Bart Scott each registered three solo tackles while Terrell Suggs had three total tackles.
Analysis: Of these defenders, Lewis, Reed, Scott and Suggs are worth starting. Everyone else isn't consistent enough for Fantasy use, though Leonhard could develop into an option if he keeps seeing playing time for the injured Dawan Landry. The Ravens play at the Colts in Week 6, so expect all Ravens defenders to have plenty of chances to rack up big defensive stats.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs recorded his third sack in two games Week 4 at Pittsburgh, finishing with six tackles -- four solo.
Analysis: Suggs doesn't get many tackles for a linebacker, but he usually approaches double-digit sacks. Think of him as a No. 2 or 3 Fantasy IDP option.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs made Browns QB Derek Anderson hurt on Sunday of Week 3. Suggs recorded just three total tackles but two of them were sacks of Anderson. Suggs also forced a fumble.
Analysis: Suggs didn't get a sack in Week 1 and Week 2's game was canceled due to Hurricane. Consider Suggs a No. 2 Fantasy LB in IDP leagues. He's not really worth starting in Week 4 in Pittsburgh.
News: The Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game was rescheduled to Nov. 9 after Reliant Stadium was severely damaged by Hurricane Ike, meaning both teams will not play in Week 2. The new date also affects the Cincinnati Bengals' schedule. Houston was originally scheduled to play the Bengals on Nov. 9. Now, those teams will play on Oct. 26 and Cincinnati will take its bye week on Nov. 9, when the Texans now play the Ravens.
Analysis: It's all a little confusing, but basically Fantasy owners need to treat Week 2 as a bye week for the Texans and Ravens. So if you have any players or either defensive unit active, get them reserved immediately. The Texans will next play at Tennessee in Week 3.
News: The Baltimore Sun reports Ravens LB Terrell Suggs likely won't play the preseason finale after going 29 snaps Saturday in his first preseason game against the Rams. "I don't think I played too badly," Suggs said. "I'm still a little rusty ... but hopefully by Sept.7, all the rust will be gone."
Analysis: It appears Suggs is back after his holdout this offseason. Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. Keep an eye on what happens, but go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs played in his first game since a long training camp holdout on Saturday against the Rams, reports the team's official website. Suggs posted two tackles and did not have any QB hurries. He looked rusty and obviously needs more work before he'll be ready for the team's Sept. 7 opener against the Bengals. "It felt really good to run around with my boys and play football," he said. "I don’t think I played too badly. I’m still a little rusty and I have to knock the dust off. But hopefully, by Sept. 7, all the rust will be gone."
Analysis: Suggs looked rusty but believes he'll be able to shake off that rust by Sept. 7 against Cincinnati. If you believe him, go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News:Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs reported to the team Monday and began practicing after signing his $8.47 million, one-year tender. He's expected to play about 15 snaps against the St. Louis Rams in the team's third preseason game on Saturday night. Suggs, who has 45 sacks in five seasons, is likely to sit out the Ravens' preseason finale against the Falcons and then start the season opener Sept. 7 against the Bengals. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Suggs seemed to be in good shape considering he had been working out with a personal trainer instead of bull-rushing offensive tackles, but noted that he wasn't in football shape yet. "You could tell, the change of direction and burst," Harbaugh said. "But he was competing and fighting. He'll probably be a little sore tomorrow, but he's in good shape."
Analysis: Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. Keep an eye on what happens, but go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News: The Baltimore Sun reports Ravens officials remain in constant contact with LB Terrell Suggs, but they are not certain when the team's franchise player will report. Suggs has missed camp to protest his franchise tag, which kept him from pursuing free agency.
Analysis: In five NFL seasons, Suggs has recorded 45 sacks and has earned two Pro Bowl selections (2004 and 2006). Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. Keep an eye on what happens, but go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs was a no-show at the the team's first full-team meeting Wednesday night as veterans reported, and he's contemplating skipping the entire training camp, reports the Carroll County Times. As an unsigned franchise player, Suggs isn't technically a holdout. Under the NFL collective bargaining agreement, he's allowed to skip camp without financial penalties. Suggs hasn't signed his $8.472 million tender, a new hybrid defensive end-linebacker designation created during a compromise after he filed a grievance against the Ravens over what position he should be classified. The Ravens have seemed prepared for this possibility ever since they were unable to negotiate a contract extension prior to a league deadline last week. It's believed that the team made an extremely lucrative offer, but Suggs rejected it.
Analysis: In five NFL seasons, Suggs has recorded 45 sacks and has earned two Pro Bowl selections (2004 and 2006). Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. Keep an eye on what happens, but go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News: The Ravens were unable to sign franchise player Terrell Suggs to a contract extension before Tuesday's NFL deadline after a late round of negotiations the past two days. Suggs is scheduled to play under a new defensive end-linebacker designation with an $8.5 million salary after a compromise between the two sides. The Ravens have been in discussions off and on with the two-time Pro Bowl selection since April 2007. The 2003 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year has yet to sign his franchise tender and isn't allowed to practice until he does. General manager Ozzie Newsome has said several times he considers Suggs one of the team's core players, and the Ravens intend to sign him to a new deal before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in March. The Ravens also have the option of using the franchise tag again on Suggs, which would include a 20 percent increase over this year's salary.
Analysis: In five NFL seasons, Suggs has recorded 45 sacks and has earned two Pro Bowl selections (2004 and 2006). Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. Go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues worth a mid-round selection.
News: The Ravens and LB Terrell Suggs avoided a grievance by essentially creating a new position, reports the Baltimore Sun. The sides reached an agreement on a one-year franchise tag tender worth close to $8.5 million, which will pay him as a hybrid defensive end-linebacker. It is believed that the NFL Players Association and the NFL management council are finalizing details to sign off on the compromise. The Ravens used the franchise tag on Suggs on Feb. 19, keeping him off the free-agent market with a one-year tender worth $8.065 million (the average of the five highest-paid linebackers in the NFL). But Suggs filed a grievance March 5, saying he should receive the one-year tag of $8.879 million for defensive ends because he played more than half his snaps at that position.
Analysis: In five NFL seasons, Suggs has recorded 45 sacks and has earned two Pro Bowl selections (2004 and 2006). Last season, he had a career-low five sacks but had a career-best 80 tackles. He surprised the team by showing up at new coach John Harbaugh's first minicamp in April. The next step is to see whether the Ravens can sign Suggs to an extension, keeping him with the team beyond this season. Go into the season with Suggs as a solid No. 2 Fantasy option in IDP leagues.
News: The Ravens designated two-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs as their franchise player Tuesday, a move that prevents him from becoming an unrestricted free agent at the end of the month. Suggs will be paid a one-year contract of $8.065 million, the average salary of the five highest paid linebackers in the NFL last season according to NFL Players Association figures. Under league rules, the Ravens can match any competing offer for Suggs or receive two first-round draft picks as compensation. "We will continue to negotiate with 'Sizzle' with the intention of signing him to a long-term contract," Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome said. "He is one of our best players, and our success with re-signing our best players is very good."
Analysis: Suggs had a disappointing year in 2007. He came into this season averaging 10 sacks a year, but he only had five in 2007. He also had 80 tackles (52 solo), which was a new career high, but Suggs is known as a pass rusher. Even with the down year in sacks, he's still a decent Fantasy LB, worth considering as a No. 2 option in drafts this summer.
News: The Carroll County Times is among those reporting that the Ravens are planning to place the franchise tag on LB Terrell Suggs if they can't re-sign him before the start of the free-agency period. As a result, the team will tender him an offer for a one-year guaranteed deal worth the average of the five highest-paid players at his position ($8.065 million according to the paper). Suggs may accept the offer at any time, or he can negotiate with other teams. If another team were to make him a contract offer, the Ravens would have the right to match the offer or receive two first-round picks as compensation from the other team. "If we do not have a long-term contract in place before the final day, we will franchise Suggs," GM Ozzie Newsome said. "At his position, we feel like he's one of the top two or three outside linebackers in the game. He does a very good job against the run and the pass."
Analysis: Suggs had a disappointing year in 2007. He came into this season averaging 10 sacks a year, but he only had five in 2007. He also had 80 tackles (52 solo), which was a new career high, but Suggs is known as a pass rusher. Look for Suggs to get paid somewhere, whether he leaves Baltimore or stays with the Ravens. Even with the down year in sacks, he's still a decent Fantasy LB, worth considering as a No. 2 option in drafts this summer.
News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs heads into free agency this offseason coming off a disappointing year in 2007. Suggs came into this season averaging 10 sacks a year, but he only had five in 2007. He also had 80 tackles (52 solo), which was a new career high, but Suggs is known as a pass rusher.
Analysis: Look for Suggs to get paid somewhere, whether he leaves Baltimore or stays with the Ravens. Even with the down year in sacsk, he's still a quality defensive lineman. Continue to monitor what develops this offseason, but go into 2008 with Suggs as a No. 2 DL in IDP leagues.
News: The East Valley Tribune caught a report on KTVK-TV in Phoenix that free-agent-to-be DL/LB Terrell Suggs said he'd like to come back to his hometown and play for the Cardinals. Suggs went to high school (Chandler Hamilton High) and college (Arizona State) in the Phoenix area and would like to return home.
Analysis: Suggs is scheduled to be a free agent but has to avoid a franchise tag to truly sign elsewhere. The Cardinals have a couple of linebackers set to be free, so he could fit into their plans. Moreover, they run a 3-4 defense (Suggs plays in that scheme now) and could use a playmaker. But will they pay him? Ultimately, Suggs is a top-10 Fantasy DL -- so long as he stays as a DL and not moved to outside linebacker on a permanent basis.
News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs (thigh) is active and starting Week 16 at Seattle after being listed as questionable on the injury report. Suggs, who has yet to miss a game, has 73 tackles and five sacks in 14 games. His most recent sack came during a Week 15 loss to the Dolphins.

Analysis: Suggs is a No. 1 DL and should start in Week 16 against the Seahawks. Scott has some value as a low-end backup LB, but along with the rest of this group (excluding Suggs) should not be starting against Seattle.
News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 15 at Miami. The Baltimore Sun reports that Suggs missed practice Friday because of the flu. He has been active for the first 13 games. He has 70 tackles and four sacks.
Analysis: The Ravens are just being cautious by putting Suggs on the injury report, but barring any more setbacks, he should take the field against the Dolphins. He doesn't have a lot of sacks this season, but is racking up tackles. He remains a solid No. 2 Fantasy DL when healthy.
News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs totaled seven solo tackles during a Week 12 loss to the Chargers. He failed to record a sack for just the second time in six games.

News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs had 11 tackles -- six solo -- and a sack Week 9 at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: After a slow start, Suggs has a sack in each of his last three games, putting him back on pace for his usual 8-12 range. He's a solid Fantasy DL for Week 10 against the Browns.
News: Ravens DL Terrell Suggs was worried after five games when he failed to record a sack. Now after seven games, he no longer has to worry. Suggs came away with his second sack of the season Week 7 against the Bills and both of his QB takedowns have come in the last two games. He finished the game with five total tackles (four solo).
Analysis: Suggs always seems good for about 8-12 sacks a season and appears finally headed on that path. Hopefully the bye in Week 8 doesn't derail his progress. Keep him reserved until Week 9 against the Steelers, but then have no qualms about using him as a high-end Fantasy DL.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Ravens LB Terrell Suggs, who got his first sack of the season Week 6 against the Rams, said for the first time that the drought had begun to worry him. "I'm like, 'Man, it's getting too late in the season,'" he said. "Never in my football career have I gone this long without getting one. But I finally got one, got it out of the way, knocked it out. Now it's back to what I always do: play football."
Analysis: Suggs always seems good for about 8-12 sacks a season, but it is quite alarming that he has only one sack. He is usually a solid Fantasy DL, but right now is acting like a No. 2 or No. 3 Fantasy option in larger leagues.

Analysis: Suggs always seems good for about 8-12 sacks a season, but it is quite alarming that he has yet to bring down a QB in 2007.

The Ravens recovered a fumble, as well as had two interceptions -- one by Samari Rolle and one by Chris McAlister, who took it 31 yards for a touchdown. LB Ray Lewis, LB Terrell Suggs and DL Trevor Pryce each had a sack.
Analysis: The Ravens were one of the best defensive units all season and will undoubtedly be one of the first defenses drafted in Fantasy leagues in 2007. All of the Ravens defensive starters are popular picks in IDP leagues and will be hot ticket items once again in 2007.

Also, the Ravens came up with six sacks (Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Trevor Pryce 2, Bart Scott, Kelly Gregg 1/2 and Adalius Thomas 1/2) and two interceptions (Chris McAlister and Dawan Landry).
Analysis: The Ravens are one of the top Fantasy DST options and should be a must-start every week. They play the Steelers in Week 16. Also, all of the Ravens individual defensive stars in Week 15 are solid options in IDP leagues. Feel free to use them Week 16.

Also, consider the Ravens DST a must-start Fantasy option since there is a good chance they will face inexperienced Browns QB Derek Anderson.
News: Notable Ravens defenders from Week 12 include: LB Ray Lewis (six solo tackles, sack), DE Terrell Suggs (six solo tackles, two sacks), CB Chris McAlister (five solo tackles), DE Trevor Pryce (four solo tackles, two sacks, forced fumble) and FS Ed Reed (three solo tackles).

News: According to the Baltimore Sun, Ravens LB Terrell Suggs should be ready to play Sunday vs. San Diego as he said his injured hamstring is feeling better. Suggs is tied for second on the team in sacks with LB Adalius Thomas, with both players having three. All Suggs is thinking about is the chance to bring down the Chargers No. 1 threat -- RB LaDainian Tomlinson. "I'm definitely [a Tomlinson] fan. He's one of the most exciting players in the game," Suggs said in the report. "But he's coming to M&T [Bank Stadium]. Therefore, he's not my friend this week, and I'm not a fan this week. ... [Tomlinson]'s going to be a focal point."
Analysis: Unless Suggs has a tragic setback during the week, it doesn't sound as though there will be much to keep him away from the field on Sunday. Still, IDP owners need to keep a close on his stats before activating Suggs for Week 4.

Analysis: Suggs should be fine for Week 3 action, though owners in IDP leagues will want to monitor his status for the coming week. The Ravens will need all the help they can get playing against the Chargers in Week 4, so expect to see Suggs if he can move without much pain.
