Ryan Connelly

Linebacker Ryan Connelly was claimed off waivers by the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Connelly was a fifth-round pick for the Giants in 2019, earning 20 tackles, two interceptions, two pass deflections and one sack while playing in just four games. Connelly will add depth to a top-heavy linebacking corps helmed by All-Pro LB Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr.

Ryan Connelly fell victim to a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Connelly was having a great rookie campaign totaling 20 total tackles (10 solo), one sack, and two interceptions through four games played. Look for Tae Davis to replace Connelly at LB moving forward.

Ryan Connelly racked up five total tackles, one sack, and an interception during Sunday’s 24-3 win over the Washington Redskins.

Fantasy Impact

Connelly has been off to a bit of a slow start this season but is worth keeping an eye on in IDP dynasty leagues. He has 20 total tackles (10 solo), one sack, and two interceptions through the first four games this season.
