Ronald Darby DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Veteran defensive back Ronald Darby has announced his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons. The Florida State product informed the Houston Texans on Monday. Darby was a second-round pick by the Buffalo Bills back in 2015 and had stints with the Eagles, Commanders, Broncos, Ravens, and Jaguars. He signed with Houston in March. In all, he played in 118 games and will finish his career with eight interceptions, 106 passes defended, and 447 tackles. The 31-year-old was set to back up the starting cornerback duo of Kamari Lassiter and Derek Stingley Jr. His absence will leave Houston's defensive backfield a bit short-handed. Darby started 107 games in his career, while Houston's other non-starters cumulatively bolster 25. We'll see how the roster shakes out once it's trimmed down.
