2024 Fantasy Outlook
Signing Al-Shaair was the first move the Texans made when free agency opened up in March. In his age-27 season, the linebacker reunites with coach DeMeco Ryans, who served as Al-Shaair's defensive coordinator with the 49ers. He's a durable workhorse with a high motor and finished fifth in the NFL last season with 163 tackles for the Titans. Obviously, Ryans is familiar with all of his skills and plans to install Al-Shaair as the unit's signal-caller and middle linebacker, replacing the departed Blake Cashman. Read Past Outlooks
Ruled out
Al-Shaair (knee) will not return Sunday against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Al-Shaair had three tackles before exiting late in the first half. It's hard to know if his inability to return is a result of the injury or the lopsided score of the game. More clarity on the severity of his injury could come after the game or later in the week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Al-Shaair spent the first four seasons of his professional career with the 49ers, but he joined the Titans this offseason. He's shown the ability to rack up tackles - he made 102 stops in 2021 - and will be relied upon for a big role in Tennessee after the departure of David Long. The biggest issue for Al-Shaair has been his ability to stay on the field, as he's played only 25 games combined across the last two seasons.
