News

  • Next Gen Stats

    Khalil Mack has recorded 20 run stops this season, resulting in -21.0 run stop EPA, the 9th-fewest run stop EPA allowed by an edge defender.

    Updated Tue, Dec 17 at 11:29am
  • Returning to action in Week 12

    Mack (groin) is active for Monday's battle against Baltimore.

    Analysis: A groin injury kept Mack out of last Sunday's win over the Bengals and held him to a trio of limited practices this week, but the veteran pass rusher will be able to suit up Monday despite the issue. He'll have a challenging task ahead of him against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens defense that hasn't given up many sacks this season. Mack ranks third on the Chargers with 4.5 sacks on the season.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Mack (groin) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Mack was sidelined for Week 11 against the Bengals due to a groin injury, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity all week. Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu would see a heavy amount of snaps if Mack and Bud Dupree (foot) are unable to play Monday.

  • Remains limited Friday

    Mack (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Mack has opened the Chargers' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions after missing the Week 11 win over the Bengals due to a groin issue. The veteran pass-rusher's participation Saturday will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll be able to return for the Chargers' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens on Monday night.

  • Estimated as limited participant

    Mack (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Thursday was the first time Mack has practiced or played since aggravating a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Titans, during which he only played four defensive snaps. If he is able to practice Friday and Saturday, that would give the veteran pass rusher a good shot at returning from a one-game absence against the Ravens on Monday. In the eight regular-games prior to his injury, Mack registered 26 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five pass defenses, two forced…read more

  • Inactive Sunday night

    Mack (groin) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The outside linebacker did not practice all week and only played four defensive snaps in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Titans. In nine games this season, Mack has 26 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu should see more snaps in Mack's absence.

  • Questionable despite DNP

    Mack (groin) did not practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Mack was able to play through a groin injury in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Titans, but he was limited to just four snaps on defense in that contest. Despite not being able to practice all week, the Chargers have tagged Mack as questionable for Sunday's game, though he'd likely see a limited snap count if he does end up suiting up. Should Mack be ruled out, Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu would see more snaps alongside Joey Bosa.

  • Opens week as DNP

    Mack (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mack came into Sunday's win over the Titans battling a groin issue and although, he was active, he played just four defensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP suggests that he could also be in jeopardy of missing the Chargers' Week 11 matchup with the Bengals. If Mack can't upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, Joey Bosa (hip) will likely see increased work as an edge rusher with the Chargers' first-team defense.

  • Good to go versus Titans

    Mack (groin) is good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Titans, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mack will be able to play Sunday despite not practicing at all this week. He suffered a groin injury during last week's win over the Browns and will try to play through it against the Titans.

  • Questionable for Week 10

    Mack (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Mack was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a groin injury in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns. However, Friday's injury report suggests the All-Pro edge rusher still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If Mack is sidelined in Week 10, Bud Dupree will likely see increased snaps with the Chargers' first-team defense.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Mack (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mack may have picked up the injury during the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns this past Sunday. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Through the Chargers' first eight games of the regular season, Mack has logged 26 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

  • Sacks Winston in Week 9

    Mack finished Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns with four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

    Analysis: Mack caused Jameis Winston to fumble the ball on a six-yard sack late in the first quarter, which the latter was able to recover. It was Mack's second straight game recording a sack, and through eight regular-season games he's up to 26 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

  • Records sack in defeat

    Mack finished with five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Chargers' 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The outside linebacker also played on 77 percent of the defensive snaps. Mack has 10 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, a pass defensed and a fumble recovery in 2024.

  • Records 1.5 sacks vs. Las Vegas

    Mack finished Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders with three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, along with one pass defended and one fumble recovery.

    Analysis: Mack combined with Morgan Fox on a 12-yard sack on Gardner Minshew in the second quarter, and Mack tallied a solo four-yard sack early in the fourth frame. Minshew made an unforced fumble late in the second quarter, which Mack scooped and returned for 22 yards to set up a 25-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker four plays later. Mack is coming off a career-best 17.0 sacks across 17 regular-season games in 2023, and the 2014 first-round pick will look to add to his impressive resume against Bryce…read more

  • Staying put on restructured deal

    Mack has agreed to a restructured contract that will keep him with the Chargers in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Los Angeles was considering moving Mack after a 17.0-sack 2023 season to free up cap space, but a restructure proved sufficient to create enough wiggle room after the Chargers saved $20 million against the cap Wednesday by releasing Mike Williams (knee). Mack's prolific production in 2023 suggests that the 2016 NFL DPOY still has plenty left in the tank heading into his age-33 campaign.

  • Vintage season in Los Angeles

    Mack compiled 74 tackles (57 solo), 17 sacks, 10 passes defensed and five forced fumbles over 17 games with the Chargers in 2023.

    Analysis: Despite losing pass-rushing partner Joey Bosa (foot) for nearly half of the season, Mack put together arguably the best campaign of his entire career, and one that probably should have elicited some All-Pro consideration. The veteran's 17 sacks surpassed his previous career high set back in 2015, and that massive figure came off the heels of a four-year stretch where Mack combined to take down the quarterback just 31.5 times. The eye-popping sack total is a bit of a mirage considering the…read more

  • Registers sack in loss

    Mack had seven tackles (five solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Mack got to Jarrett Stidham early in the second quarter for a nine-yard sack that forced the Broncos to punt the ball on the next play. Mack broke his three-game sack drought Sunday and is up to 16.0 this season, placing him fourth in the NFL and establishing a new career high.

  • Yet another multi-sack performance

    Mack recorded five tackles (five solo),, including two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 6-0 win at New England.

    Analysis: Mack managed to post two sacks for the fourth time in his last five games in Week 13, bringing his season total up to 15.0 (which ties his career high from 2015 with the Raiders). He's the league leader in sacks heading into a Week 14 matchup versus the Broncos.

  • Manages another multi-sack game

    Mack recorded six tackles (four solo) including two sacks and a pass defensed in Sunday's 20-10 loss versus the Ravens.

    Analysis: Mack's two-sack performance in Week 12 was his third such game in the last four weeks and perhaps the most impressive of the bunch considering how difficult it is to catch and bring down Lamar Jackson. Mack already has 13.0 sacks with six games left to play, making him a must-start IDP in leagues where he's eligible as a defensive lineman.

  • Eclipses 10 sacks on season

    Mack recorded eight tackles (eight solo) including two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-20 loss at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Mack secured the fifth double-digit sack season of his career in the middle of the third quarter, and he tacked on another sack for good measure to log his third multi-sack game of the year. With 11.0 sacks to date, he's actually on pace for a career season in that department, making him a good IDP option wherever he's defensive-lineman eligible.

  • Two sacks in win

    Mack recorded five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, while deflecting a pass and forcing a fumble in Monday night's 27-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Mack was able to get back into the sack column after going two weeks without a quarterback takedown, bringing down Zach Wilson twice, stripping him once. The linebacker is now up to 30 tackles, including nine sacks, while also deflecting three passes and forcing three fumbles over eight games this season.

  • Logs another sack in loss

    Mack recorded four tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Monday's 20-17 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Mack was once again able to get to the quarterback, bringing down Dak Prescott for his seventh sack of the season, all of which have come in the last two games. The linebacker has registered 23 tackles, including the seven sacks, and has deflected two passes and forced a pair of fumbles over five contests in 2023.

  • Nearly sets single-game sack record

    Mack compiled 10 tackles (eight solo), including six sacks, and two forced fumbles in the 24-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Mack nearly won the game himself against his former team, routinely terrorizing an offensive line that had allowed just five sacks prior to Sunday. The veteran's performance is arguably more impressive because he did it without the aid of pass-rushing teammate Joey Bosa, who was held out due to a hamstring injury. The 32-year-old hasn't quite lived up to the billing after joining the Chargers via trade last season, but it's days like Sunday that showcase his game-wrecking potential even after…read more

  • Leads team in sacks

    Mack recorded 50 tackles (33 solo), eight sacks, an additional four tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games in the 2022-23 season.

    Analysis: In his first season with the Chargers, Mack led the team in both sacks and total tackles for loss. However, the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year failed to record double-digit sacks for the fourth straight season. While Mack may not be as dominant as he was earlier in his career, he is still a force to be reckoned with coming off the edge.

  • Dominates former team in win

    Mack recorded six tackles (five solo), three sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Mack was dominant in his Chargers debut and harassed Derek Carr all game long. His first sack came on third down in the second quarter and forced a punt, while his second one came on first down and immediately preceded an interception. Mack's last QB takedown was a strip-sack late in the fourth quarter, sealing the win for Los Angeles.

  • Active at camp

    Mack (foot) has been active in training camp this week, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mack originally injured his foot in Week 3 against the Browns last season, but he continued to show up on game day while being limited at practice during the week. He was officially shut down after Week 7 and underwent season-ending surgery in November. Despite being hampered by the injury, Mack was still able to tally six sacks in seven games. He was traded to the Chargers in March for a second-round selection in the 2022 draft, which netted Jaquan Brisker, and a 2023 sixth-round selection.…read more

    Mack (foot) did some individual drills at June minicamp, the Chargers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Chargers coach Brandon Staley didn't comment on expectations for training camp but did suggest Mack is on track to play Week 1, while Mack himself said he should be ready for the start of camp, per TSN. The 31-year-old pass rusher was traded for second- and sixth-round picks this offseason, netting the Bears a solid return even after his foot surgery in late November. Mack did have six sacks in seven games last year, and a return to top form or something near it could give the Chargers the best…read more

  • Restructures deal

    Mack (foot) restructured his contract with the Chargers on Friday to clear up $9 million in cap space, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mack has agreed to convert $13.5 million of his 2022 salary into a signing bonus, a move which helps his new team free up a significant amount of additional cap space. The star pass rusher, whose 2021 campaign ended early due to foot surgery, could be primed for a resurgence while lining up alongside Joey Bosa in the 2022 season.

  • Traded to Chargers

    The Bears are slated to trade Mack (foot) to the Chargers in exchange for a 2022 second-round draft pick along with a 2023 sixth-rounder, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The deal, which is in line to become official next week, will provide the Chargers' pass rush (which also features Joey Bosa) with a huge boost heading into the 2022 campaign. Mack, who landed on IR last November due to a foot injury that required surgery, finished up his last season with Chicago with 19 tackles and six sacks over the course of seven games.

  • Ends season on injured reserve

    Mack underwent season-ending foot surgery and was placed on injured reserve Nov. 19 after recording 19 tackles and six sacks over seven games.

    Analysis: Mack had missed just two games through his first seven years in the NFL, and he should have enough time to recover and rehab before the 2022 season. He'll turn 31 in February, and his six-year contract extension has three seasons (but no guaranteed money) remaining.

  • Getting season-ending surgery

    Chicago placed Mack on injured reserve Friday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports. He'll undergo season-ending surgery on his left foot next week.

    Analysis: The Bears were hoping Mack could return after resting for a few weeks, but he apparently hasn't progressed the way they had hoped. He last played Week 7 and now finishes his eighth NFL season with 19 tackles, six sacks and one fumble recovery in seven games. Mack missed just two games through his first seven years in the league, and he should have enough time for recovery and rehab before Week 1 of the 2022 seaosn.

    Analysis: Mack has had three weeks to recover since originally suffering the injury, but he still wasn't quite ready to go Wednesday. He still has two more practices to show he can play against the Ravens on Sunday.

  • Chance to return Sunday

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that he's "hoping" Mack (foot) will be able to return for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Mack has missed the last two games with a foot injury, but it's encouraging that Nagy didn't immediately rule him out following the Bears' Week 10 bye. Prior to his injury, the 30-year-old racked up 19 tackles (15 solo), six sacks and a fumble recovery across the first seven games of the season.

  • Not playing Monday

    Mack (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Mack suffered a foot injury Week 3 but was able to power through it four four consecutive contests. Notably, he also put together a five-game stretch in which he recorded at least one sack per game Weeks 2 through 6. But he'll now take a seat for a second straight outing, which may be an intentional decision by the Bears with a Week 10 bye on tap. Mack's next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Nov. 21 against the Ravens.

  • DNP on Thursday

    Mack (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old was inactive for what was the Bears' first practice of the week, prior to meeting the Steelers on Monday night. Mack's absence comes as no surprise, as he has appeared on the injury report for many weeks now with the nagging foot injury. He missed the team's Week 8 matchup with the 49ers, his first missed contest of the year, and his status is worth monitoring in the coming days. If he can't go on MNF, Trevis Gipson will once again see an increased role on defense.

  • Day-to-day with foot injury

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Mack (foot) will continue to be day-to-day, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mack, who has dealt with the foot injury for the majority of the season, missed the Bears' Week 8 matchup with the 49ers. Despite the injury, the star pass rusher has been able to notch six sacks through seven games this season. It's unclear if Mack will be able to return for Week 9, but if he doesn't, Trevis Gipson will likely once again see an increased role against the Steelers on Monday night.

  • Ruled out for Week 8

    Mack (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against San Francisco, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Mack's absence comes as no surprise considering it was made known earlier in the week that the team's considering placing him on IR to allow his nagging foot injury to heal. He has persevered through the injury up to this point and performed admirably, notching six sacks through seven games, but Mack will endure his first absence of the season against the 49ers. Trevis Gipson will be tasked with filling Mack's massive shoes.

  • Likely to sit out Week 8

    Mack isn't expected to play Sunday against the 49ers while tending to a lingering foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport adds that a four-week stint on injured reserve (the Bears are on bye Week 10) is being considered for Mack, who has been a regular on the Bears' injury reports since late September with the foot issue. Despite playing at less than full health, Mack has produced 19 tackles and six sacks this season, though he had a five-game streak with at least one sack come to an end in last week's 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers. Supremely durable throughout his career, Mack has only missed two games,…read more

  • Set to face Tampa Bay

    Mack (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Mack has been limited in practice since Week 3 but has yet to miss a game. He has recorded at least one sack in each of his last five contests, so it doesn't appear the issue has held back Mack's performance.

  • Questionable as usual

    Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Mack got in a limited practice session Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but this minimal level of participation during the week is nothing new for the banged-up pass rusher. Not only has Mack not missed a game this season, but he has six sacks in the last five, so deploy him as you normally would.

  • Unavailable for practice

    Mack (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old missed Wednesday's practice as well, but his status for Sunday may not be in question. Mack suited up in Week 6 versus the Packers after not practicing all week, something that may happen again in Week 7 against the Buccaneers. More information should be available Friday on his status. On the season, the star linebacker has 18 tackles, six sacks and a fumble recovery through six contests.

  • Posts sixth sack of season

    Mack notched a sack and four tackles in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: After averaging 1.5 tackles over the first four games of the season, Mack has 12 over his last two games, and if that continues, it will significantly raise his weekly scoring floor. He also has recorded a sack for the fifth-straight game, and he's been showing the elite pass-rushing skills he hasn't flashed since 2018.

    Mack (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Mack didn't practice throughout the week, and while that might have been a worrying sign, the star linebacker is active and should provide quite a boost to the defensive unit. He has five sacks through five games this season despite playing through injury since Week 3.

    Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Mack consistently has played through this injury since suffering it Week 3, but it's unnerving that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He'll likely be a game-time decision Sunday as he looks to add to his season total of five sacks through five games.

    Mack (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Mack picked up the foot injury Week 3 against the Browns and continues to play through the issue. He had a strong showing during Sunday's win over the Raiders, recording eight tackles and a sack against his former team. The 30-year-old doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to be available to play this weekend in Green Bay, though it would nonetheless be reassuring to see him practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday.

    Mack collected a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: For the second week in a row, Mack had two or fewer tackles, but he was able to tally his first sack of the campaign. After posting between 47 and 50 tackles in each of the last three seasons, if he doesn't boost his tackle totals soon, his fantasy scoring floor could be lower than it has been at any time in his career.

  • Registers ninth sack of season

    Mack tallied a sack and four tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The 50 tackles Mack had was his highest in three years with the Bears, though he's posted between 47 and 50 tackles in each of those seasons. He's also had two straight seasons with fewer than 10 sacks, and although he's still an amazing NFL player, his IDP value is limited in leagues in which he's listed as a linebacker. After the team completes its playoff run, he'll enter the fourth year of a seven-year deal and likely will maintain similar fantasy value that he's had the past couple seasons.

    Mack (shoulder) was held to limited participation during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: There's no great concern just yet regarding the three-time All-Pro's potential Week 17 availability, as he has frequently had his practice reps managed throughout the 2020 campaign. Last week alone, Mack submitted a full session Wednesday before being listed as a DNP and a limited participant the subsequent two practices. Mack hasn't missed a contest all season, and it's possible Chicago is merely managing its star defender's workload heading into a vital Week 17 matchup against the Packers.

Coach Matt Nagy clarified, however, that Mack's Thursday practice absence was considered to be "more precautionary," per Patrick Finley of The Chicago Sun-Times. The three-time All-Pro has faced shoulder, back and ankle issues over the past two months alone, but he remains without a game absence on the 2020 campaign.

    Mack registered a safety, a sack, two tackles and a recovered fumble in Chicago's 36-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Mack intercepted a pass and tallied three stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

    Analysis: Although Mack has posted between two and five tackles in each game this season, he's been a fantastic playmaker with 6.5 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and now an interception. When used in IDP leagues as a linebacker, he's dependent upon those big plays because he has a low scoring floor when they don't occur.

    Analysis: Mack appears to have picked up a knee injury during Sunday's win over the Giants, in which he notched his first sack of the year. As long as the star pass rusher is able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, any worries about his Week 3 availability will be put to rest.

  • Notches first sack of season

    Mack recorded a sack, a fumble recovery and three tackles in the Bears' 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: After posting four tackles in the opener, Mack was able to pick up his first sack of the season to bolster his fantasy performance. As he comes off a disappointing 2019 campaign in which he recorded just 8.5 sacks and 47 tackles, he'll need to ramp things up quickly if he's going to return to the dominant IDP force that he was from 2015-2018.

  • Suiting up in Week 2

    Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Mack has been slowed by the knee injury for a couple weeks, but it did not prevent him from taking the field in Week 1 and will not keep him off the field this week, either. Mack was a bit quiet in last week's season opener, but he has a chance to make some noise in Week 2 against a Giants offensive line that had trouble containing the Steelers' pass rush on Monday night.

  • Status in question for Sunday

    Mack (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Mack has been a limited participant in practice all week, but considering he followed a similar path leading up to the season opener, there shouldn't be much concern about his status Sunday. The touted DE played 86 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 despite the injury, recording four tackles (two solo).

  • Managing knee injury

    Mack (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Mack came into the season opener dealing with the knee injury in practice and still suited up, so this could be a trend going forward. The veteran posted a quieter Week 1 than he's used to, supplying just four tackles in Sunday's win over Detroit. At this point in the week, barring an injury setback, expect Mack on the field for Week 2 against the Giants.

  • Lackluster in opener

    Mack posted four tackles in the Bears 27-23 win over the Lions Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Lions playing with a lead for the majority of this contest, there weren't many obvious passing situations for Mack to take advantage of. Unfortunately, the four tackles he recorded were roughly the average number of stops he recorded in each of his first two years with the Bears. Unless he returns to his prior form as a dominant pass rusher, his IDP value may not align with his reputation as a real-life defender.

  • Cleared for season opener

    Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit.

    Analysis: Mack was deemed questionable heading into the week after the knee issue limited his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he showed enough in pregame warmups to gain clearance for the season opener. After a brilliant debut season with Chicago in 2018, Mack's production took a step back along with many of his teammates in the Bears' 8-8 season in 2019, as he finished with his fewest sacks (8.5) since his rookie campaign.

  • Officially questionable for Week 1

    Mack (knee) was limited in Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's divisional tilt against Detroit.

    Analysis: Mack appeared to be a full participant in training camp, but a knee injury limited him during all three of this week's practice sessions. Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune notes that the Bears would likely list Mack as probable if the team had that option, so it doesn't look as though there's any serious internal concern about his availability against the Lions on Sunday.

  • Dealing with injury

    Mack (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Mack suffered the injury as he wasn't limited during training camp, so the team could just be giving him some rest ahead of Week 1. The 29-year-old is coming off a quieter season than usual, supplying 47 tackles (40 solo) and 8.5 sacks in 2019. If he's forced to sit, look for Trevis Gipson to elevate to the starting lineup.

  • Quiet in finale

    Mack recorded one tackle in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he concluded the season with 47 tackles 8.5 sacks and five forced fumbles.

    Analysis: Aside from his rookie season in 2014, this is the first time that Mack posted fewer than 10.5 sacks in a season. In addition, he tied his career-low in tackles, which he set last season. Along with his diminished numbers, his classification change from defensive end to linebacker stripped his massive fantasy value, and it'll be difficult to expect more than middling fantasy production when he returns to the Bears in 2020, which will be the third year of a six-year deal.

  • Up to 8.5 sacks on season

    Mack notched a sack and four tackles in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Mack recorded the Bears only sack of Patrick Mahomes, giving him three sacks over his last five games. However, this was the first time he's posted more than three tackles in six games, and he'll be a sack-dependent IDP option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Back in the sack column

    Mack posted a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Although Mack now has 7.5 sacks on the season, he's recorded just three over the last nine games, and he's averaging less than two tackles over his last four games, making him a low-floor IDP option in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Notches a sack

    Mack recorded a sack and three tackles in Chicago's 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Mack collected his first sack in four weeks and now has 6.5 on the season. In addition, he's only surpassed four tackles a single time since Week 1. Since he's moved to the linebacker position in IDP leagues, Mack is no longer the elite fantasy producer we've seen in the past, though he possesses multi-sack upside every week.
