Shifts to IR
Collier (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Collier sustained a knee injury in Arizona's Week 2 win over the Panthers, and the issue now appears serious enough to sideline him for at least the next four games. The 2019 first-round pick from TCU appeared in 17 games for the Cardinals last season, recording 29 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two passes defended. In his absence, PJ Mustipher is likely to see increased work as a rotational interior defensive lineman.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Collier is a necessary reinforcement with the Seahawks trading Frank Clark to the Chiefs, although his production in college - just six sacks in his senior season - and questionable athletic testing don't scream "one-for-one swap." Many are already pegging Collier as a reach, and he'll have some competition in camp from Ezekiel Ansah - who may not be ready Week 1 due to a shoulder injury - and Nazair Jones, who moves from tackle to end. Collier may need some work to adjust to the pro level, so fantasy owners should stay away in IDP settings until he proves himself.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed for fresh start?
The Seahawks have engaged in trade talks regarding Collier at various points this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Collier was the Seahawks' first-round pick in 2019 but has failed to deliver the results to match that investment. He has been active for only two games this season and has held a minimal role when called upon. Rapoport suggests a fresh start could benefit Collier, though his play hasn't given other clubs much reason to pursue him.
