Queen recorded 12 tackles (two solo) during Pittsburgh's loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Queen was one of the team's few bright spots in the loss, as his 12 tackles not only led the team but served as a new season-high total for the 26-year-old. He has now racked up 68 tackles (27 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across nine games and will look to keep producing Week 11 versus the Bengals.

Queen tallied three tackles (one solo) during the Steelers' loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Queen was unable to make a major impact on the game despite playing every defensive snap for Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old has struggled in his last two outings, racking up just seven tackles (two solo) over that span. He will look to have a bounceback performance in the team's Week 9 matchup versus the Colts.

Queen recorded four tackles (one solo) in Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.

Queen was one of three Steelers' defensive players to remain on the field for 100 percent of snaps, though he turned in one of his worst performances of the season. Pittsburgh was gashed on the ground by a previously ineffective Bengals' rushing attack, and Queen had his fewest tackles of the campaign.

Queen logged nine tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 23-9 victory against the Browns.

Queen finished second on the Steelers in stops behind DeShon Elliott (12). Prior to Sunday, Queen had hit double-digit tackles two straight weeks. He's up to 44 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and three defensed passes over five games this season.

Queen registered 11 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-21 victory versus the Vikings.

In addition to the sack he registered, Queen had two more tackles for loss. His sack was a first-quarter takedown of Carson Wentz on a third-down play to hold Minnesota to a field-goal attempt. Queen has been productive to begin the campaign with 35 stops and two defensed passes through four weeks.

Queen recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' win over the Patriots on Sunday.

In addition to the 10 tackles, Queen also logged a pair of pass breakups on 100 percent of the defensive snaps. On the season, Queen has 24 tackles (14 solo), including a pair of TFLs, two pass breakups and two QB hits.

Queen (ribs) has returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Queen went to the medical tent in the second quarter of Sunday's game due to a rib injury, but he has been cleared to return to the contest. The Steelers are already without Isaiahh Loudermilk (ankle) for the rest of the game and Alex Highsmith (ankle) is doubtful to come back, so Queen's return is a boost for the Steelers' defense.

Queen (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Seattle, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Queen had to go to the medical tent during the second quarter, and he's been deemed questionable to return to the game. Cole Holcomb has entered at linebacker in Queen's stead.

Queen tallied eight tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 34-32 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Queen tied with Alex Highsmith for most tackles in Sunday's game, and the former joined Darius Slay as the two Steelers players to play all 64 defensive snaps. Queen logged 129 total tackles across 17 regular-season games in 2024 and is aiming for a fourth-straight 100-tackle campaign. The Steelers will head home to Pittsburgh to host the Seahawks on Sunday, who put up just 13 points and 230 yards of total offense against the 49ers in Week 1.

Queen finished the 2024 season with 129 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games with Pittsburgh.

After spending the first four seasons of his career with Baltimore, Queen signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the division-rival Steelers last offseason and went on to start all 17 regular-season contests. Queen has yet to miss a game or a start since entering the NFL in 2020, a streak that has spanned 84 contests. Queen's 129 tackles marked the second-highest single-season total of his career. Queen is signed through the 2026 campaign.

Queen recorded seven total tackles (five solo) in Wednesday's 29-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Despite Queen recording his lowest tackle total since the Steelers' Week 12 loss to the Browns, he still tied Minkah Fitzpatrick as the team's leading tackler Wednesday. Queen, a first-year Steeler, has now recorded a team-leading 124 total tackles, six passes defended and one forced fumble over 16 appearances this season. He'll aim to continue disrupting opposing offenses in Week 18, when the Steelers host the Bengals.

Queen finished Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore with eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defense.

Queen has logged at least seven combined tackles in the Steelers' seven games since the Week 9 bye, and he has played every single defensive snap in six of those contests. Over that span, the 2020 first-round pick has accumulated 62 tackles (30 solo), four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Queen is up to 117 combines tackles through 15 regular-season games, and he is 16 tackles shy from matching his career-best output from the 2023 regular season (133). Queen and the Steelers will head back to Pittsburgh to host Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Christmas Day.

Queen recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Queen played all 80 defensive snaps versus Philadelphia, and his 11 tackles were the second-most Queen has recorded in a game this season.

Queen recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.

The inside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the 11th time in 13 games. Queen has 98 tackles (47 solo) in his first campaign with the Steelers, and he's probably a game away from his fourth 100-stop output in five pro seasons. The former Raven also has five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Queen recorded seven tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 24-19 loss at Cleveland.

Queen paced Pittsburgh's linebackers in snaps again in Week 12, and he posted seven-plus tackles for the eighth time in his last nine games. He profiles as a reasonable IDP option in most formats heading into a Week 13 tilt at Cincinnati.

Queen recorded 10 tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Queen was dominant in his first game versus his former team as he forced a turnover in addition to being Pittsburgh's leading tackles. The 2020 first-round has now racked up 72 tackles (36 solo) across the first ten games of the season and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 12 game versus the Browns.

Queen recorded seven tackles (six solo), including two tackles for a loss and a pass defensed, in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

The inside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the eighth time in nine games. Queen, who signed a three-year, $41-million contract in March, has 62 tackles (33 solo) and three pass breakups in 2024.

Queen recorded 13 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

Queen is heating up with 37 tackles (18 solo) over the last four games. The 2020 first-round pick posted at least 98 tackles in each of his first four seasons in the league, including a career-best 133 stops last year. He'll remain an excellent IDP option moving forward.

Queen registered eight tackles (four solo) and a pass deflection in Pittsburgh's 20-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Queen had his most productive outings of the season as he managed to lead the team in tackles. The 2020 first-round pick has now racked up 14 tackles (nine solo) across his first three games since signing with the Steelers in March.

Queen (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

The first-year Steeler popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report Thursday as a non-participant in practice, but after a full session Friday, it appears he's moved past his groin issue. Queen will look to rebound from a relatively disappoint Steeler debut, in which he recorded just two total tackles while playing 50 defensive snaps.

Queen (groin) did not practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Queen played every snap of Sunday's win over the Falcons and practiced in full Wednesday, so it's not clear when he may have suffered the injury or how severe it may be. Friday's injury report will be worth monitoring, as any potential absence for Queen would be significant to the Steelers' defense against the Broncos in Week 2.

Queen is slated to ink a three-year, $41 million contract with Pittsburgh, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Queen had some rough patches in his first two NFL seasons, but he's now coming off back-to-back standout campaigns with Baltimore, and set to bring his talents to a division rival after the Ravens declined to pick up his fifth-year option. The 2020 first-round pick tallied a career-high 133 tackles across 17 regular-season games in 2023, plus six pass breakups, 3.5 sacks and one interception, all while operating as a true every-down player in Baltimore's defense. The star off-ball linebacker will join forces with fellow standouts T.J. Watt (knee) and Alex Highsmith to form what looks like the NFL's best LB corps, and a unit which the Steelers defense can build its identity around.

Queen finished the regular season with a career-high 133 tackles to go with six pass breakups, 3.5 sacks and one interception. He appeared in all 17 games and played a career-high 1,073 snaps.

After making it through a learning curve in his first two seasons, Queen has come into his own as a major factor in the Baltimore defense. He has logged a combined 250 tackles over the last two seasons and racked up 8.5 sacks in that span. Queen still has some limitations in coverage, having allowed three touchdowns to his assignments, but he also held his opponents to 5.5 YPA when he was targeted this season. The Ravens did not pick up Queen's fifth-year option, so he will be a free agent this coming offseason. Baltimore will have some tough calls to make on that front with the ascendent Justin Madbuike also up for a new deal. The Ravens are already paying Roquan Smith a hefty sum, and it's unclear whether they will be able to pony up another big contract in its linebacking corps.

Queen (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's game versus the Steelers.

Queen was a limited participant at practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he put himself on pace to suit up in Week 18 by upgrading to a full practice Thursday. With the first seed in the AFC already locked up, Baltimore could choose to rest him Saturday.

Queen (shoulder) was estimated as limited on Tuesday's practice report.

It's a new injury for Queen, but the limited tag would suggest he has a decent chance of playing in Week 18, though the Ravens could opt to rest any injured players and key contributors with the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up.

Queen tallied seven tackles (two solo) and one interception in the Ravens' 33-19 victory over the 49ers in Week 16.

Queen picked off Brock Purdy for his first interception of the season. He was also on the field for all 68 defensive snaps, which makes it three straight and five of his last six games without leaving the field on defense. The linebacker will now set his sights on a signature matchup with the Dolphins in Week 17.

Queen recorded seven tackles (five solo), while also forcing a fumble and deflecting a pass in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

Queen was once again a busy man in Week 12, compiling at least seven takedowns for the third contest in a row. He was able to strip running back Austin Ekeler in the second quarter, a fumble which was recovered by teammate Michael Pierce. The linebacker has now registered 102 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, while deflecting four passes and forcing a fumble through 12 games in 2023.

Queen totaled 11 tackles (nine solo) in Thursday's 34-20 win against the Bengals.

Queen led Baltimore in stops in the victory and hit the double-digit mark for the fourth time this season. He's been a reliable IDP asset during the campaign, posting at least five tackles in all 11 of Baltimore's games and at least eight stops in eight of those contests. With 95 tackles so far, he's on pace to shatter his career-best mark of 117 stops, which he set last season.

Queen posted six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in Sunday's 37- victory versus the Seahawks.

Queen paced Baltimore in tackles in a contest during which Seattle possessed the ball for less than 20 minutes. The fourth-year linebacker ranks second on the Ravens with 75 stops through nine games on the campaign and has recorded at least five tackles in each contest thus far. Queen is easily on pace to surpass the career-best mark of 117 stops that he established last year.

Queen had 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Cardinals.

Queen had seven of his 11 tackles in the first half and was one of three Ravens with double-digit tackles along with Roquan Smith (11) and Kyle Hamilton (10). Queen has 69 tackles (42 solo) on the season, which ranks second on the team behind Smith (82), and the former's 3.5 sacks is tied for second on the Ravens' defense with Jadeveon Clowney. Queen is on pace to surpass the 117 tackles he had last season, which is a career-high.

Queen recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including a sack in Sunday's 24-16 win over Tennessee.

Queen added to what's been a fantastic statistical season in Week 6, and he's on pace for a career year in both the tackle and sack columns after exploiting a weak Titans offensive line. Baltimore hosts a run-heavy Detroit team in Week 7, setting Queen up nicely for another busy day.

Queen recorded seven tackles (two solo), including a half-sack, in a loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Queen ranked second on the Ravens (behind Roquan Smith) with his seven stops in the contest. He also combined for a sack with Justin Madubuike in the fourth quarter. Queen has 2.5 sacks through five games this season, already putting him halfway to his career-best total of five, which he established last season.

Queen totaled five tackles (four solo) and one sack in Sunday's 28-3 victory over the Browns.

Queen had a quiet day by his standards in terms of tackles, but he managed to record his second sack of the season. He's finished with double-digit tackles in two of his first four contests this year and sits with 36 tackles heading into Week 5 against Pittsburgh.

Queen recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts.

This is the second time in three games where Queen has registered double-digit tackles and was tied with Roquan Smith on the day. He's on pace to reach 100-plus tackles for the third time in five seasons and will continue to be a key piece to the Ravens' linebacker corps as they visit the 2-1 Browns in Week 4.

Queen recorded eight tackles in Sunday's 27-24 win at the Bengals.

After logging double-digit tackles in Week 1, Queen posted another good tackle total in Week 2, keeping him on great pace for the third 100-tackle season of his career. He again projects as a good IDP option when Baltimore hosts Indianapolis in Week 3.

Queen recorded 11 tackles, a sack and a pass defensed in Sunday's 25-9 win versus the Texans.

Queen also played more snaps (72) than any Baltimore linebacker not named Roquan Smith on Sunday. He's looking for his third 100-tackle season in 2023, and he's now well on track. In Week 2, the Ravens will go to Cincinnati, which struggled mightily offensively in its regular-season debut.

The Ravens declined Queen's fifth-year option Monday, Sarah Ellison of the team's official website reports.

The 2020 first-round pick enjoyed a breakout of sorts in 2022 after mostly struggling his first two seasons, but it's no surprise the Ravens won't guarantee him a $12.7 million salary for 2024, especially after they traded for fellow inside linebacker Roqaun Smith last fall and then gave him a five-year, $100 million extension with $60 million paid out through the first three years. Queen actually played much better after the Ravens added Smith, ultimately finishing with career highs for tackles (117), sacks (five), QB hits (14), pass defenses (six) and interceptions (two). While his performance hasn't been consistent, Queen has started every game since the Ravens drafted him 28th overall in 2020. The team may have found his eventual replacement in 2023 third-rounder Trenton Simpson, a Clemson product who ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at 235 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The team may have found his eventual replacement in 2023 third-rounder Trenton Simpson, a Clemson product who ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at 235 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Queen had a career year in 2022 by setting new career highs in tackles (117), sacks (5.0), interceptions (2) and pass breakups (6).

The former first-round pick delivered on his potential this season and cemented himself as a key part of what was a strong Baltimore defense. Queen was better at finding the ballcarrier and was relied upon for more snaps as he bested his previous career high by 125 reps. Baltimore can pick up Queen's fifth-year option this offseason, and his performance, especially in 2022, should lay the groundwork for that to happen.

Queen tallied nine tackles (one solo), a half-sack, a defended pass and a fumble recovery in a 17-9 win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Queen played 94 percent of Baltimore's defensive snaps in the victory and made his presence felt in multiple ways. The linebacker combined with Brandon Stephens on a first-quarter sack of Desmond Ridder, recovered a Drake London fumble in the second period to help set up Baltimore's lone touchdown and finished second on the Ravens with nine total stops. Queen needs one more tackle to set a new career-high mark.

Queen (thigh) is active for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Queen suffered a thigh bruise in Week 13 and was deemed questionable heading into Week 14. However, he never really appeared in danger of missing Sunday's matchup. Across 12 appearances, the third-year linebacker has totaled 85 tackles, four sacks, one interception and a forced fumble.

Queen (thigh) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Queen, who picked up a thigh bruise in Week 13, logged a full practice Friday after back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 14 prep. The third-year linebacker said Wednesday that he's "pretty sure" he'll play Sunday, so given his comments and his participation Friday, it appears like Queen, barring a setback, will play against the Steelers. Across 12 appearances, Queen has totaled 85 tackles, four sacks, one interception and a forced fumble.

Queen (thigh) said Wednesday that he's "pretty sure" he'll play Sunday against Pittsburgh, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Queen picked up a thigh bruise during the Week 13 win over Denver, but he doesn't anticipate the injury keeping him sidelined for a divisional clash against Pittsburgh. Across 12 appearances, the third-year linebacker has totaled 85 tackles, four sacks, one interception and a forced fumble.

Queen only suffered a bruised thigh in Sunday's win over the Broncos, according to head coach John Harbaugh, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Queen's diagnosis is a good one, considering he was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest, while also needing to be carted off the field. However, Harbaugh noted that Queen did not want the cart. The 23-year-old's availability for Sunday against the Steelers still remains up in the air though.

Queen has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos with a thigh injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Queen recorded nine tackles before he went down with a thigh issue that required him to be carted off the field, per Zrebiec. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the apparent severity of this issue could threaten his availability heading into Baltimore's Week 14 game versus Pittsburgh. With Queen sidelined, expect Roquan Smith and Malik Harrison to slot in as the Ravens' primary inside linebackers.

Queen racked up 12 tackles, including a half-sack, in Sunday's Week 11 win over Carolina.

The Panthers had a hard time generating yardage in the contest, and Queen was a big part of the reason why as he generated a season-high 12 stops. This was his second game with double-digit tackles on the campaign, and he raised his sack total to four by teaming with Justin Houston to bring down Baker Mayfield on a third-down play. Queen has 70 tackles on the season, putting him in line to reach the 100-tackle mark for the second time in his three seasons as a pro.

Queen recorded five tackles (five solo) and one pass defended during Monday's 27-13 win against the Saints.

Queen tied as the Ravens' second-leading tackler as the Saints were limited to just 49 offensive plays. The 23-year-old also played all but two of Baltimore's 51 defensive snaps in the team's first game with fellow inside linebacker Roquan Smith, who also logged five tackles Monday. Queen has now recorded a team-high 58 tackles (43 solo), 3.5 sacks, three passes defended and one interception this season, and he should continue to play a prominent role next time out against the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Queen recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including one sack and three tackles for loss, during Sunday's 23-20 win against the Browns.

Queen's finished with a team high in tackles against Cleveland, marking his first double-digit performance of the season. The third-year linebacker also increased his sack total to 3.5 on the year as he brought down Jacoby Brissett for a five-yard loss in the third quarter. Through seven games in 2022, Queen has recorded 49 tackles (34 solo), two passes defended, one interception and a forced fumble on 421 defensive snaps.

Queen recorded seven tackles (five solo), one sack and a forced fumble in a 24-20 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Queen's sack brings him to 2.5 on the season, which has already surpassed his 2021 season total of two. The third-year linebacker is currently on pace to beat all of his season-best totals from his first two seasons. He's now sitting on 38 tackles (27 solo), two passes defensed and an interception, to go along with the forced fumble he tallied Sunday and the previously mentioned 2.5 sacks.

Queen recorded seven tackles and an interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

The interception was just the second in 38 career regular-season games for Queen, a 2020 second-round pick. The third-year linebacker has tallied 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks through the Ravens' first five contests of 2022.

Queen recorded five tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass breakup during Sunday's 37-26 win over New England.

Queen dropped a would-be interception during the third quarter, but he nonetheless turned in another solid fantasy day. The 2020 first-round pick played 90 percent of defensive snaps versus New England after having handled an every-down role the first two weeks of the season.

Queen recorded eight tackles (five solo) including 0.5 sacks against the Jets on Sunday.

Queen led the Ravens in quarterback hits with three on Jets signal-caller Joe Flacco. The third-year linebacker, who saw his total defensive snaps fall despite playing more total games during his second season in 2021, lined up on every single down for Baltimore's defense Sunday. Queen could see his total production increase should he continue to play a full-time starting role in 2022.

Queen tallied 98 total tackles, 2.0 sacks and one fumble recovery in 2021.

The second-year linebacker out of LSU turned in a solid season but still showed that there is room for improvement. Queen's ability in coverage was a problem in his rookie season and his numbers in that facet declined in 2021 as he allowed 8.2 YPA in coverage and gave up two touchdowns. He was a reliable presence, however, playing in every game and logging the second-most snaps on the Baltimore defense behind Chuck Clark. It's important to note that Queen is still young for his experience level as he won't turn 23 until August. Queen is still a standout athlete who can be an impact player despite being somewhat undersized for an inside linebacker. The former first-round selection will be a significant piece of the Baltimore defense in 2022.

Queen had nine tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Bengals.

Queen set a season-high with 13 tackles (11 solo) last week against the Packers, and he nearly reached double digit again Sunday. The 2020 first-round pick has 92 tackles (65 solo), two sacks and one forced fumble through 15 games, but he could be more an an IDP option down the stretch if he continues the strong production from the past two games.

Queen had six total tackles (five solo, one assist) Sunday against the Steelers.

The second-year linebacker suffered a rib injury in his previous game against the Browns but managed to play 91 percent of the snaps Sunday. Queen logged six tackles to bring his season total to 68 through 12 games. The Ravens travel to Cleveland to face the Browns on Sunday.

Queen (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Queen was able to practice as a full participant Thursday and Friday, so it was a little surprising to see him still listed as questionable heading into Week 13. The 2020 first-round pick has recorded 62 tackles and two sacks across 11 appearances this season.

Queen (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Queen was able to practice as a full participant Thursday and Friday, so it's a bit surprising to see him still receive the questionable tag. Regardless, it appears the 2020 first-round pick is on track to play Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Queen (ribs) was able to return to full participation at practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Queen left the Ravens' Week 12 contest against the Browns early while dealing with a rib injury but he appears ready for the team's matchup with the Steelers on Sunday. In 11 games this season, the linebacker has made 62 tackles while forcing and recovering a fumble.

Queen is questionable to return after suffering an injury to his ribs Sunday against the Browns, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Queen suffered the injury late in the third quarter and recorded seven tackles while also recovering a fumble prior to his exit. If Queen is forced to miss any additional time, there will be a significant hole in the team's linebacker corps as he leads the team with 54 tackles on the campaign. Kristian Welch could see an increased role in Queen's absence.

Queen had five tackles (four solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Thursday's 22-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Queen's impact play wasn't enough to earn a victory for Baltimore, but it was reassuring to see him come back to IDP relevance. In his previous three contests, Queen had only racked up nine total tackles. The second-year pro will look to continue building momentum against Justin Fields and the Bears on Sunday.

Queen (thigh) is active against the Bengals on Sunday.

Queen sustained the injury in last week's win over the Chargers and while he was limited in practice throughout the week, he's managed to suit up for this divisional clash. He has played 297 snaps through six games so far this year.

Queen (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Queen sustained the injury in last week's win over the Chargers but was able to return to the game. Given that context and his limited practice participation, Queen's more likely than not to ultimately suit up barring a setback.

Queen (thigh) is back on the game against the Chargers, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Queen was questionable with a left thigh injury, but it seems the injury wasn't as serious as expected and is back on the field.

Queen (thigh) is questionable to return Sunday against the Chargers, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

Queen picked up the injury in the first half, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to action. If Queen can't recover, then Chris Board would be in line to handle a bigger role.

Queen posted six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions.

Queen has now recorded team-high 23 tackles and a sack through three games. The 22-year-old linebacker should maintain IDP viability all season, and he's on track to comfortably top last year's 106-tackle mark.

Queen posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.

Queen is off to a hot start in his sophomore season, recording 17 tackles and a sack through two games. The LSU product maintains a solid floor as a tackler on a weekly basis, but his ability to produce sacks and turnovers offer material fantasy upside.

Queen racked up 106 total tackles (66.0 solo), 3.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one interception in 2020.

The first-round rookie out of LSU lived up to the hype and made an impact right away for the Baltimore defense. Queen led all Ravens in tackles and also caused havoc with his sacks and forced fumbles. He was a force from the jump, racking up eight tackles and a sack in his debut and didn't slow down from there. Only Chargers' linebacker Kenneth Murray had more tackles than Queen among rookies in 2020. The Ravens face the Titans on Sunday.

Queen registered six solo tackles and three assists during Wednesday's 19-14 loss to the Steelers.

The rookie has been consistently posting viable IDP numbers of late, with nine tackles in each of his past three outings. Compare that to an average of 3.3 tackles per game Weeks 6 through 9, and it's clear Queen's stock is traveling along an upward trajectory. He's started every game thus far in 2020 while logging 79 tackles, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one defensive score.

Queen made nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Titans.

Queen missed a handful of snaps in Sunday's game because of some bumps and bruises, but he still managed to lead the team in tackles, extending his team high to 70 stops through 10 games. The rookie out of LSU is a dependable fantasy asset, and 100 tackles this season is a reasonable goal. He'll look to keep the momentum rolling in a crucial divisional matchup against Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Queen was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Queen was part of a group of players who were considered high-risk close contacts to Marlon Humphrey, but isolation and repeated negative tests will allow the rookie linebacker to play against the Colts come Sunday. The 2020 first-round pick is on pace to surpass 100 tackles in his rookie season.

Queen was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Queen joins fellow linebackers Matt Judon, L.J. Fort, Malik Harrison and Tyus Bowser on the list. All five are considered high-risk close contacts to Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive for the virus Monday, and they'll need to isolate for five days. If Queen tests negative through Saturday, he'll be available for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts.

Queen registered nine tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and one defensive touchdown during Sunday's 27-3 win against the Bengals.

Joe Burrow's LSU teammate was a nightmare for the rookie signal-caller Sunday, beginning his prolific afternoon with a combo strip-sack, fumble recovery at the 9:40 mark of the second quarter. Queen would also scoop up a fumble forced by Marcus Peters on rookie wideout Tee Higgins, collecting the loose ball and streaking 53 yards down the field to provide Baltimore with a prohibitive 27-0 lead with 8:21 to play in regulation. Queen now has nine or more tackles in three of his past four games, as he heads into a Week 6 matchup against a Philadelphia offense that is tied with Dallas for an NFL-high 11 giveaways.

Queen finished Sunday's game against Washington with 12 tackles (nine solo) and three tackles for loss.

Queen registered his first game with double-digit tackles in Week 4. He was on the field for 80 percent of Baltimore's defensive snaps (57). Queen will look to continue his success in Week 5 against Cincinnati.

Queen recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 33-16 win over the Texans.

Queen and the rest of the Ravens defense kept the Texans' rushing attack wholly in check Sunday, limiting Houston to 51 yards on 17 carries. The rookie was on the field for 71-percent of Baltimore's defensive snaps, more than any other Ravens linebacker. His presence should only increase as he becomes more accustomed to playing within defensive coordinator Wink Martindale's system.

Queen recorded eight tackles, a sack and a QB hit in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Browns.

Queen lived up to his first-round billing, pacing the team in tackles and pestering Baker Mayfield all afternoon. The 21-year-old linebacker played just 74 percent of the defensive snaps as well, but he can handle an every-down workload as one of the most skilled rookie linebackers in coverage. His upside is intriguing if he can log a full workload in the upcoming weeks.

Coach John Harbaugh expects to utilized Queen in a three-down role in both base and sub-packages of the defense, Todd Karpovich of Sports Illustrated reports.

The 20-year-old was selected 28th overall in April's draft by Baltimore, so it's not a major surprise he'll be playing a significant role in 2020. The news from coach Harbaugh provides a potential boost to Queen's IDP value after he racked up 85 total tackles during his final season at LSU.
