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 season. The veteran linebacker should be the favorite to play nearly every snap, as Tyrel Dodson shapes up as the No. 2 while fourth-round rookie Tyrice Knight should push for some snaps. Baker may not have the ceiling of Bobby Wagner and 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.

RANKS
Will miss rest of OTAs
Coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Baker (wrist) won't be back as a full participant during practice until training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker is apparently still dealing with the wrist injury he picked up in Week 18 last season. When he's healthy, he profiles as a near every-down starter at linebacker, but in the meantime, rookie fourth-rounder Tyrice Knight could get some reps with the first team.

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.

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.
