Shaq Leonard Has Growing Role on Eagles Defense

11 months ago

Eagles linebacker Shaquille Leonard has seen a growing snap share in recent games with the Philadelphia Eagles. After joining the team in Week 14, he has seen his snap share grow each week, from 14 in Week 14 to 54 in Week 16. Last week, he made seven combined tackles and his first sack of the season while playing 86% of the snaps. Fellow linebacker Nicholas Morrow was held out of the game with an abdomen injury, but Morrow will be back this week. He is listed behind Leonard on the depth chart, but he will likely take enough snaps away to keep Leonard below a 90% snap share. This week, the Eagles play the Cardinals, who rank amongst the top 10 in fantasy points allowed to IDP linebackers.
