2025 Fantasy Outlook
There's not much to say that isn't known about Crosby, as he's established himself as one of the most determined pass rushers in the league across the last three seasons. His 2024 campaign was cut short by an ankle injury that required tightrope surgery, but there aren't any concerns about his availability for the new season. Crosby's per-snap production won't rival that of Myles Garrett or other truly elite pass rushers, but unlike Garrett, Crosby is routinely on the field for rushing downs. In turn, he holds a significant advantage in total tackles and is the top-ranked defensive lineman heading into the 2025 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IR, done for season
The Raiders placed Crosby (knee) on the injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Crosby left Raiders facilities Friday after expressing displeasure upon learning he had been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Following his placement on IR, Crosby will now be sidelined for Week 18 against the Chiefs as well. The edge rusher will thus wrap up the 2025 campaign with 73 total tackles, 10.0 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles across 15 appearances. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Crosby is expected to require offseason surgery to address his left knee injury, but he should be back to full health for training camp.

Measurables Review
How do Maxx Crosby's measurables compare to other defensive ends?

Crosby fought through a knee injury for much of the 2023 season, though it would be impossible to discern that by looking at his production. He led all defensive lineman with 1,081 snaps, or 63.6 per game. To put that in perspective, the next closest player at the position was Danielle Hunter, and he averaged 59.2 snaps per contest. Crosby has also played in every game as a pro, surely playing through several different issues at points throughout his career. Volume plays a key role in his fantasy value, as he doesn't have the same disruptive ability on a per snap basis as other elite players at the position. That makes him a slightly more fragile selection than his overall ranking may suggest, but it's impossible to deny his productivity and durability after five years in the NFL.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might want out of Vegas
Crosby is questioning his future with the Raiders after being placed on season-ending IR against his wishes, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
While the star pass rusher will need meniscus surgery in the offseason, Crosby had been playing through his knee injury and felt he could continue to do so before being placed on IR ahead of Las Vegas' Week 17 loss to the Giants, a defeat that put the team in the driver's seat to pick first overall in the 2026 Draft. Crosby's disgruntlement could fade over the spring, but at least at the moment, he's considering whether he wants to remain with the Raiders or seek a trade. The 28-year-old is currently the highest-paid player on the Vegas roster, with a contract that runs through 2029.
