Suspended four games
Ayers has been suspended for the first four weeks of the 2018 season, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ayers is currently an unrestricted free agent after finishing the 2017 season with the Giants. It's unclear exactly what his suspension is for, but his absence for the first month of the season may make it more difficult for him to catch on with a team for the start of the 2018 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
2014
2013
2011
Ayers had a so-so 2015 campaign, with 47 tackles and half a sack in 16 games. He will have an increased role in 2016, however, with James Laurinaitis gone and has shown in the past that he can perform at a high level. He tallied 104 tackles and six sacks with Tennessee in 2012, and while he's unlikely to replicate those numbers, 70-80 tackles isn't out of the question.
