Picks off first pass of season
Anzalone totaled four tackles (one solo), one pass deflection and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Anzalone has been a consistent producer for Detroit's defense this season, posting 30 tackles, one sack and one interception through five games. If the 27-year-old linebacker can maintain this production, he could garner some looks in deep IDP leagues.

Records six tackles in loss
Anzalone made six tackles (4 solo) during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Anzalone is on pace for a career year during his first season with the Lions. The 27-year-old has totaled 25 tackles (19 solo) and one interception through the first four games of the 2021 campaign.

Double-digit tackles on MNF
Anzalone had 10 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Anzalone has handled 100 percent of defensive snaps through the first two games of the 2021 season, giving him a relatively safe fantasy floor in IDP formats. However, as the year progresses, there will be some risk of rookie fourth-round pick Derrick Barnes pushing for a share of interior snaps.

Locked into starting role
Anzalone is locked into a starting role at inside linebacker, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Signed to a team-friendly deal in free agency, Anzalone perhaps unsurprisingly seems to have beaten out Jahlani Tavai for the starting job next to Jamie Collins. If he can stay there all year, the 26-year-old has a great shot of topping the career-high 59 tackles he logged over 486 defensive snaps for New Orleans in 2018.

Signs with Lions
Anzalone agreed Wednesday with the Lions on a one-year, $1.75 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Anzalone, formerly a rotational linebacker with the Saints, will reunite with former New Orleans assist and new Detroit head coach Dan Campbell. Despite handling the heaviest snap count of his career last season (525) and playing in all 16 games, Anzalone only managed 22 total tackles and was held without a sack.

Disappointing season
Anzalone recorded 41 tackles (22 solo) across 16 regular-season games for the Saints in 2020.
Analysis: It was encouraging to see him play all 16 games after playing in just two last year, and despite playing heavy snaps, he disappointed. Anzalone failed to force a turnover or record a sack and compiled fewer than three tackles per game -- a career-low mark. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, and his future with the Saints is yet unknown.

Locked in with first unit
Anzalone has been "entrenched" with the Saints' first-team defense, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com notes.
Analysis: Triplett further added that rookie Zack Baun and new addition Nigel Bradham will compete for the No. 2 linebacker role, but "Anzalone's the one to beat so far." It's encouraging news for the fourth-year linebacker, who was placed on the injured reserve last September due to a shoulder injury and has only played a full season once in his career.

Proclaims health
Anzalone (shoulder) is fully recovered from September surgery, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Anzalone was placed on injured reserve in September, finishing 2019 with seven tackles and one sack in two games. He started seven of 16 games the previous season, notching 59 tackles, three forced fumbles, two sacks and an interception. The 2017 third-round pick is now entering the final season of his rookie contract and should have a shot at a starting job in 2020. Demario Davis is the only sure-thing starter among the LBs currently on the Saints' roster.

Another injury-plagued year
Anzalone (shoulder) recorded seven tackles and a sack over two games in 2019.
Analysis: For the second time since entering the league three years ago, Anzalone was placed on IR before playing his fifth game. He played a full season in 2018 and posted 59 tackles, two sacks and an interception. The 2017 third-round pick showcased potential in that campaign, but he can't be penciled in for a starting role in 2020 due to injury concerns. However, since he's on his rookie contract, he'll likely survive cut day at least.
