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.

Leaves game early
Baker (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker dealt with a hamstring injury throughout training camp and despite playing through it in Week 1, he was questionable for Sunday's game before ultimately being active against New England. Tyrice Knight will likely see extra opportunities while Baker is out of the game.

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.
