2024 Fantasy Outlook
Baker has reached the 100-tackle threshold three times through six years in the league, and he was on pace to eclipse it again before knee and wrist injuries curtailed his 2023 season. The veteran linebacker should be the favorite to play nearly every defensive snap, as Tyrel Dodson shapes up as the No. 2 MLB while fourth-round rookie Tyrice Knight could push for some snaps. Baker may not have the ceiling of Bobby Wagner or Jordyn Brooks from past years because of new DC Aden Durde, but 100-tackle upside should be a safe floor for Baker as long as he stays healthy.

Steps up following Gibbens injury
Baker tallied eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Baker got his first defensive snaps with the Titans on Sunday, and while he started the day in a rotational role at inside linebacker, he'll likely start alongside Kenneth Murray moving forward after Jack Gibbens suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Across six regular-season games between the Seahawks and Titans, Baker has logged 45 tackles (25 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Baker returned to 100-tackle form in 2022, hitting the mark exactly, notching a respectable four sacks while appearing in all 17 regular-season games for Miami. The 26-year-old is a hallmark of consistency, as he's been essentially a lock to float around 100 tackles and 900 defensive snaps over the last three years, though he exceeded those marks notably back in 2019. The arrival of new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, and Bradley Chubb getting up to speed in the system, could open things up more for Baker in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Meeting with Titans on Thursday
Baker has a visit scheduled with the Titans on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Tennessee has been active early in free agency under general manager Ran Carthon, and the Titans may be interested in bolstering their linebacker corps by bringing Baker aboard. After being released by the Dolphins last Tuesday following a failed physical due to a wrist injury, Baker will likely need to prove he's healthy before signing with Tennessee or any other team.
