Vontaze Burfict activated off active/PUP list by Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals activated suspended weak-side linebacker Vontaze Burfict off active/PUP.
The Bengals had listed him with a knee injury. Burfict is suspended for the first three games of the season due to repeated violations of the league's on-field player safety policy. Without Burfict's dominant downhill presence, the Bengals' run defense is actually very lacking, which is something to note for in-season fantasy and DFS purposes.
Burfict recorded 57 tackles, one sack and two picks in 2015 for a Cincinnati defense which finished 10th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play. Our algorithms project him for 98.62 tackles and 2.08 interceptions in 2016.
