News

  • Moving north to Buffalo

    Klein agreed Monday with the Bills on a three-year, $18 million deal, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The deal can't become official until Wednesday, but at that time he'll be moving teams and is the early favorite to take over a starting outside role for the retired Lorenzo Alexander. Klein, who posted 69 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two passes defended, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and one touchdown last season, has a history with Buffalo's brass dating back to his Carolina days.

  • Solid campaign with strong finish

    Klein recorded 69 tackles (47 solo), 2.5 sacks, one interception and a touchdown in 2019.

    Analysis: The seventh-year veteran had a solid showing in 2019, holding steady in tackles and sacks while recording his first career touchdown. Klein has started all but one of the 43 games he's appeared in through three seasons with the Saints, and he's one of 25 players entering free agency in 2020.

  • Scores pick-six in blowout win

    Klein recorded six tackles (five solo), one interception and a touchdown in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Klein tied for the team lead in tackles while recording his first interception of the season. After a rough start, he's come alive over the last three weeks, managing 15 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 sacks and a pick in that span. His lone interception was returned for a 14-yard score, and Klein will take his hot streak into the playoffs with the Saints sporting a 13-3 record.

  • Records two sacks in win

    Klein managed three tackles (all solo), two sacks and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: After failing to record a sack through the first 14 games of the season, Klein has done so in back-to-back games. On the season, he's racked up 63 tackles (42 solo) and a forced fumble to go along with his 2.5 sacks, which is rough because his value is primarily tied to his ability to get the quarterback. He'll have a chance to finish the year strong against a reeling Panthers offense in Week 17.

  • Gets to quarterback in win

    Klein finished with six tackles (one solo) and 0.5 sacks in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.

    Analysis: Klein recorded his first sack Monday, finishing just behind Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (8) for the team lead in tackles in the process. On the season, the linebacker has racked up 60 tackles (39 solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He's failed to stand out in his solo play this year and doesn't make an appealing IDP option in most fantasy formats.

  • Back for Week 15

    Klein (knee) is clear of the injury report for Monday's game against the Colts, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Klein missed last week's loss to the 49ers due to the knee injury, but he'll be back on the field Monday. The 28-year-old should serve in his usual starting role at strongside linebacker Monday.

  • Won't play Week 14

    Klein (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Klein apparently sustained the injury during the Thanksgiving Day victory over the Falcons and didn't practice this week. Stephone Anthony and Craig Robertson are in line to see increased snaps Sunday with Kiko Alonso (thigh) also ruled out.

  • Misses another practice

    Klein (knee) didn't participate in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Klein did not participate in practice for the second consecutive day. He logged just a 35-percent snap rate in the team's Week 13 win as a result of the injury, opening up more opportunity for Stephone Anthony and Craig Robertson. The pair would likely fill in again if he's unable to go in the team's Week 14 matchup against the 49ers.

  • DNP to start week

    Klein (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Klein may have been hurting during Week 13's win over the Falcons, as he logged a season-low, 35-percent snap share. Since Wednesday wasn't an actual practice, Klein's status for Thursday's session will reveal more about his status for Sunday's daunting matchup against the 49ers.

  • Records seven tackles

    Klein notched seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Klein was tied for second on the team in tackles behind only Demario Davis (11). The Saints put out a rare poor performance Sunday, but will have a chance to bounce back against the Buccaneers and a turnover-prone Jameis Winston in Week 11.

  • Absent from injury report

    Klein (undisclosed) is not listed on New Orleans' injury report Thursday, Luke Johnson of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Klein missed practice due to an undisclosed injury last week and now looks back to full health. He appears on track to play a key role in the Saints' defense during Monday's matchup against the Texans.

  • Modest production as starter

    Klein finished the 2018 regular season with 69 tackles (42 solo), two sacks, two fumble recoveries and an interception in 16 games.

    Analysis: Klein started at middle linebacker most of the season in New Orleans but his production was fairly pedestrian, as he averaged just over four tackles per game. Klein offers little as a pass rusher or turnover specialist, so while he's a frontrunner to start at linebacker again in 2019, he's not a sought-after fantasy commodity.

  • Tallies second consecutive sack

    Klein had four tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 28-14 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Klein was solid for the Saints' defense all game and recorded his second consecutive sack in as many games. The Iowa State product now has 58 tackles (35 solo) in 13 games, which makes him an unreliable IDP option.

  • Records first sack in loss

    Klein had five tackles (two solo) and a sack in Thursday's 13-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The five tackles are Klein's highest output since Week 8 against the Vikings, as he had just 11 total tackles over the previous four games. The 27-year-old has 54 tackles (31 solo) through 12 games, and his modest production of late makes him an unreliable IDP option.

  • Snags first interception

    Klein recorded four tackles (two solo) and an interception in Thursday's win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Klein's interception was the second of his career and his first with the Saints. He's having a career year for New Orleans, sitting six tackles shy of his career high with five games to go. Looking ahead, he and the Saints will take on the Cowboys in Week 13.
