Alex Anzalone Likely Out for Regular Season

Lions LB Alex Anzalone left Sunday's game with an injury to his left forearm. HC Dan Campbell said afterward that Anzalone suffered a fracture that will knock him out for 6-8 weeks.

The short end of that would return Anzalone for Week 18, so he's OK to go ahead and drop in redraft IDP leagues.

That leaves Jack Campbell as the lead LB the rest of the way. Campbell led Detroit with 9 total tackles in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, his third game of 9+ among the past four weeks.

Malcolm Rodriguez figures to play the No. 2 LB role while Anzalone's out. He'll be interesting for deeper IDP leagues.

Losing Anzalone shouldn't significantly alter the fantasy outlook for the Detroit team defense.
