Donald will officially finish his ninth season in the league with 49 tackles, five sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 11 appearances. 1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE Russ Yeast - Set for expanded role in Week 18 Yeast is likely to draw the start at free safety in Week 18 against the Seahawks, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.

The 25-year-old has played just one of his 38 snaps on offense across three appearances, so it's likely he'll continue to serve as a core special-teamer while seeing extremely limited opportunities behind top tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins in Week 18.
