Wren

Wren is seeking a second opinion before deciding on surgery, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports. It’s yet another setback for the Bengals defense, which won’t have free agent signing CB Trae Waynes for much of the 2020 season after he suffered a torn pec. Meanwhile, S Shawn Williams was carted off the practice field on Tuesday. The Cincy defense is one for fantasy footballers to attack this year.

Wren (6’5/318) started only one season at nose tackle for the Sun Devils, graduating with 14.5 career TFLs and three sacks as a dominant run stopper with pocket-pushing flashes. Only an honorable mention All-Pac 12 pick in 2018, Wren generated hype at the Combine with 78th-percentile SPARQ results, and 30 reps on the bench. Wren confirmed his elite get-off burst with a 1.76 ten-yard split. Wren offers Akiem Hicks-level upside if he can improve his technique to become more consistent down to down.
