Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report We have reached the final week of the regular season.

Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 13. We will continually update this list. Week 14 Byes: Arizona, Washington Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – Monday Night Football resulted in a pair of costly injuries. The biggest occurred in the fourth quarter when Lawrence had his ankle twisted underneath him. There was a noticeable gasp from the crowd as Larence immediately tossed his helmet out of frustration. Fortunately, T-Law avoided ligament damage and was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. However. That could cause him to miss 1-2 games. Lawrence managers can add C.J. Beathard on the waiver wire as a temporary replacement. Christian Kirk (WR) Jacksonville Jaguars – Also, the Jags lost their star wideout to a core muscle injury that will require surgery. That means Kirk is unlikely to play again during the fantasy season. #Jaguars WR Christian Kirk suffered a core muscle injury on his catch last night and is expected to need surgery. Rehab for a core muscle issue is generally about eight weeks. If Kirk is ready at eight weeks, he could play in the Super Bowl if Jax makes it. A little earlier… — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 5, 2023 Tank Dell (WR) Houston Texans – A sad ending for one of the great stories of 2023. Dell was inexplicably blocking in a crowd and was rolled up on. He was rolled up on from behind, resulting in a fractured fibula. The surgery took place on Monday, ending Dell’s terrific and improbably rookie campaign. Rhamondre Stevenson (RB) New England Patriots – Another high-ankle sprain will likely cost Stevenson the remainder of the season. Even if Stevenson were to beat the usual 3-4 week recovery window for such an injury, there is little reason for the 2-10 Patriots to put him back on the field. Ezekiel Elliott becomes the top Week 14 waiver wire target as New England’s new feature back. Derrick Henry (RB) Tennessee Titans – Despite reports that Henry was in concussion protocol, Mike Vrabel indicated that Henry was not and is on track to play in Week 14. Darren Waller (TE) New York Giants – Even though he is now eligible to return from IR, don’t expect to see Darren Waller back this week to face the Packers. Daboll said RT Evan Neal (ankle) and DL Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) won’t practice today. Daboll said there’s hope that Lawrence will be back this week. Daboll said TE Darren Waller, who is eligible to be activated from IR is making progress, but leaning toward not being ready… — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) December 5, 2023 Christian Watson (WR) Green Bay Packers – We all knew what this was as soon as it happened. Yet another hamstring injury is likely to sideline Watson for at least one week. This is Watson’s fifth hamstring injury in less than three years. Obviously, a huge concern for both the remainder of 2023 and Watson’s long-term value in dynasty formats. Brian Robinson (RB) Washington Commanders – Another hamstring injury forced Robinson from Washington’s Week 13 loss. Fortunately, Washington has Week 14 off. That gives Robinson an extra week to recover. We will update his status in the FullTime Fantasy Discord as Week 15 approaches. Kenny Pickett (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Pickett injured his ankle on a goal-line run and has already had surgery. However, the team seems optimistic that he will return in 2-3 weeks. Until he does, it’s Mitchell Trubisky time in Pittsburgh. Derek Carr (QB) New Orleans Saints – Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury. However, it is not expected to be a long-term ailment. Also, Carr is in the NFL’s concussion protocol for the second time in a month. That is a bigger concern at the moment. We will keep an eye on his status throughout the week. But, Carr managers can add Jameis Winston as insurance. Amari Cooper (WR) Cleveland Browns – Cooper was forced from Cleveland’s Week 13 loss with a concussion. He will not be able to return to action until he clears the protocol. The normal recovery time for a head injury is 1-2 weeks. D’Andre Swift (RB) Philadelphia Eagles – Swift took a big hit late in Philadelphia’s loss. He headed to the locker room immediately and did not return. If Swift misses time, Kenneth Gainwell would step in as the starter. Demario Douglas (WR) New England Patriots – Douglas missed last week with a concussion and has still not practiced. He must clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can play. Finally, thanks for reading the Fantasy Football Injury Report.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report We have reached the penultimate week of the regular season. Whether you are jockeying for playoff position or still fighting to qualify, securing a late-season win is crucial. Staying up-to-date on the Fantasy Football Injury Report is a great way to increase your odds of coming out on top in Week 13. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 13. We will continually update this list. Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – Despite finishing the game, Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor injured his thumb and it appears to be a serious ailment. To have the local beat writers saying that Taylor could wind up on IR sounds very disconcerting. If Zack Moss happens to be available on your waiver wire, he would become the unquestioned top priority to add ahead of Week 13. UPDATE: Unfortunately, it looks like Taylor will need surgery and miss a minimum of two games. Moss now becomes a bigger priority, worth most of your remaining FAAB if you are fighting for a playoff spot. #Colts owner Jim Irsay to @TheAthletic on Jonathan Taylor’s surgery: “There’s just not a lot of confidence in controlling (the ball) and the hand strength at this point, so the decision has been made to move forward in that direction.” https://t.co/PfPdSLoour — James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) November 28, 2023 Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – An oblique injury kept Walker out of Thursday’s loss. Also, Walker sat out practice on Monday, so his Week 13 status is in jeopardy. Seattle travels to Dallas to take on Dallas on Thursday Night Football. At this point, I would call Walker doubtful and estimate he has a 25% chance of suiting up. Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings have activated Jefferson from IR. Subsequently, Jefferson will be back on the field in Vegas when Minnesota returns to action following this week’s bye. Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – The Saints are severely depleted at wide receiver. Olave was having a huge outing on Sunday before leaving the game. He will have to clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can return. Also, Rashid Shaheed injured his quad in the same game and is considered unlikely to play in Week 13. We will update their Week 13 availability as news breaks. But, prepare for the Saints to give Lynn Bowden, A.T. Perry, Juwan Johnson, and Taysom Hill more targets if Olave and Shaheed are out. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Head coach Mike McDaniel implied that Achane was held out of Week 12 for precautionary reasons. This is good news after Achane’s abbreviated return from IR in Week 11. Still, after that, it’s hard to have a lot of confidence until we see it on the field. If Achane is a full participant in practice this week we will re-address his Week 13 fantasy football rankings. Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Higgins has missed three games with a hamstring injury. However, there is a good chance that he will return next Monday in Jacksonville. Amari Cooper (WR) Cleveland Browns – Cooper headed to the locker room after taking a hard shot to the ribs during the Browns’ Week 12 loss. Subsequently, he has yet to practice ahead of Week 13. We will have more updates in the FullTime Fantasy Discord as they become available. If Cooper sits, Elijah Moore would become a viable WR3. Dorian Thompson-Robinson (QB) Cleveland Browns – DTR is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after taking a vicious shot in Cleveland’s Week 13 loss. Subsequently, and combined with P.J. Walker’s 58.5 QB Rating out of relief, Joe Flacco will take first-team practice reps this week and has a legitimate shot at starting in Los Angeles. Demario Douglas (WR) New England Patriots – Another player dealing with a concussion, Douglas has been New England’s top wideout over the past month. We will monitor his progress through the protocol throughout the week. Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Johnston exited Week 12 with a rib injury. However, X-rays came back negative. Johnston was cleared to return from that injury on Sunday. However, Brandon Staley elected to keep the first-rounder sidelined. Baker Mayfield (QB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Kyle Trask replaced Mayfield under center for a series as Mayfield was dealing with an ankle injury. However, he was able to return to action and finish the game. It looks like a non-factor. Blake Grupe (PK) New Orleans Saints – The Saints are working out veteran kickers after learning that Grupe is dealing with a groin injury. If New Orleans signs a replacement to the practice squad, that would indicate there is real concern about Grupe’s Week 13 availability. Finally, thanks for reading the Fantasy Football Injury Report.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report Week 12 always stands out on the calendar. Trade deadlines, Thanksgiving games, and the looming playoffs make for a unique set of circumstances. Additionally, there are new injuries that will affect this week and beyond. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report updates you on all the fantasy-relevant injuries ahead of Turkey Day. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 12. We will continually update this list. Week 12 Byes: None Joe Burrow (QB) Cincinnati Bengals – The most devastating blow of Week 11 was the superstar signal-caller Joe Burrow, who was in the middle of a hot streak. A seemingly innocuous wrist injury ended up being a season-ender. Losing Burrow will be the death knell for Cicinnati’s middling postseason changes. Also, it will have huge fantasy ramifications. And not just to Burrow managers. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are bound to drop off with Jake Browning under center. Mark Andrews (TE) Baltimore Ravens – Andrews had his ankle rolled up in what looked like a season-ending play. However, positive news came out Monday that Andrews may avoid IR. For now, expect him to be considered week-to-week with a good shot at being healthy for the fantasy playoffs. Also, Isaiah Likely is the player to target on the Week 12 waiver wire. Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – Pete Carrol has not updated us yet on Walker’s status. But, with Seattle scheduled to host San Francisco on Thursday night, it seems safe to rule Walker out for Week 12. There is optimism that this is not a long-term oblique injury. Subsequently, in games that Walker misses, Zach Charbonnet has RB1 upside. You see Ken Walker reach for his lower left abdomen. Classically oblique related. Generally these injuries don’t last longer than 1-2 weeks. Fingers crossed. pic.twitter.com/2Eltpu8MwH — Edwin Porras, DPT (@FBInjuryDoc) November 19, 2023 Aaron Jones (RB) Green Bay Packers – Jones appeared to suffer a major knee injury, emotionally leaving the field on a cart. However, the Monday update stated that Jones sprained his MCL and is week-to-week. But, with Green Bay due to play in Detroit on Thursday morning, it is safe to rule Jones out for Week 12. Aaron Jones spoke briefly in locker room just now. Says he “caught a break.” pic.twitter.com/s00VCoMAwh — Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) November 19, 2023 Michael Thomas (WR) New Orleans Saints – New Orleans placed Thomas on IR with a knee injury. That means that Thomas will miss a minimum of four games, which means he’s out until the fantasy semi-finals. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – The long-awaited return of the goat didn’t last long. Achane reaggravated his existing knee injury after just two touches. There have not been any updates out of South Beach. But we anticipate a multi-week absence for Achane. Salvon Ahmed (RB) Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins also placed Salvon Ahmed on IR with an ankle injury. With De’Von Achane also out, expect Jeff Wilson to be more involved as the club’s RB2. Luke Musgrave (TE) Green Bay Packers – Mike LeFleur said that Luke Musgrave suffered a significant abdominal injury and is currently hospitalized. Seems certain that Musgrave will miss time. Tucker Kraft would be a replacement to target on the waiver wire. Cooper Kupp (WR) Los Angeles Rams – Another impactful early exit, Kupp suffered a sprained ankle and was unable to return during the Rams’ Week 11 victory over Seattle. Fortunately, it is not a high-ankle sprain. Kupp is day-to-day. Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Downs has been paying through an ankle injury that originally happened in training camp. However, Downs has played in every game so far and hopes that the well-timed Week 11 bye for the Colts will allow him to be at or near 100% for the fantasy playoff stretch drive. Geno Smith (QB) Seattle Seahawks – Smith missed some second-half snaps in Week 11 with an elbow ailment. However, Smith finished the game and is expected to start Seattle’s Thursday contest. We will tag Smith as a “watch practice reports” in the Week 12 fantasy football rankings. Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings designated Jefferson to return from IR last week. However, the club decided to rest their superstar wideout against Denver. Head coach Kevin O’Connell deemed Jefferson as questionable for Week 12. We should know more as the week progresses and will keep the FullTime Fantasy Discord updated. Kyren Williams (RB) Los Angeles Rams – Some good news. The Rams are expected to welcome Kyren Williams back this week. Before going on IR with an ankle injury, Williams was dominating touches. He still leads all running backs with an 82% snap share. However, Royce Freeman carved out a role while Williams was out. It remains to be seen how the touches will be divided starting this week. Antonio Gibson (RB) Washington Commanders – Another veteran back who sat in Week 10, Gibson is back practicing in full and should be back for the Commanders’ Thursday afternoon tilt in Dallas.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report Week 10 lacked the number of impactful injuries that we’ve seen lately. However, there were still plenty of ailments to monitor and players potentially returning. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report keeps you updated on all the injuries and their impact on fantasy football. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 11. We will continually update this list. Week 11 Byes: Atlanta, Indianapolis, New England, New Orleans Deshaun Watson (QB) Cleveland Browns – A surprising update. Watson played through a shoulder injury against Baltimore but will have season-ending surgery. Desperate fantasy managers can now target P.J. Walker on the waiver wire. But this is a huge blow for the contending Browns. Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending surgery on a broken bone in his throwing shoulder. pic.twitter.com/W79ku2xzND — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) November 15, 2023 Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – It looks like Higgins will miss Week 11 with a hamstring injury. The Bengals play on Thursday, which leaves Higgins less time to recover. He will not practice this week. Even if he were active for this game, Higgins would likely be used as a decoy, and no fantasy manager wants to relive that experience. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins already cleared Achane to return to face the soft Raiders run defense this week. Also, Achane is expected to be 100% healthy and recovered, putting him squarely in the RB2 radar. Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings opened the 21-day window for Jefferson to return prior to Week 10. However, they kept him out last week. Now, reports indicate that the club is just in the process of ramping up his activity, so don’t expect Jefferson to be active in Week 11. Alexander Mattison (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Mattison is in concussion protocol. Ty Chandler makes sense as a waiver wire add for Mattison managers. Hayden Hurst (TE) Carolina Panthers – Hurst is also in concussion protocol. Michael Thomas (WR) New Orleans Saints – New Orleans is off this week, so there may not be any updates on Thomas. However, there has been talk that he suffered a mild MCL sprain, which would keep Thomas sidelined for 2-4 weeks. Odell Beckham (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Beckham sat out Tuesday’s practice with a sore knee. However, Beckham played through it in Week 10 and there doesn’t seem to be much concern at this point. Seems like a veteran rest day. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – Fields has now missed four games. He had some limited practice sessions last week, so Fields is progressing positively. Our early lean is that Fields will return this week in Detroit. Matthew Stafford (QB) Los Angeles Rams – Another veteran expected to return to the lineup is Matthew Stafford, who has been throwing the ball throughout LA’s Week 10 bye. Also, head coach Sean McVay indicated that he thinks Stafford will be under center this week against Seattle. Pat Freiermuth (TE) Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers are expected to have start TE Pat Freiermuth back this week. Muth has been sidelined since hurting his hamstring in Week 4 and his return will be a big boost at a position that has precious little depth. Mike Tomlin ‘Feels Good’ about Pat Freiermuth Injury Status #Steelers #NFL https://t.co/HcNcHCYd2o #steelers — Blitzburgh (@Blitz_Burgh) November 14, 2023 Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – A calf injury kept Collins out of practice and ultimately out of Week 10. There have not been any updates yet. But Collins will need to return to practice fully before we can safely say he’ll be himself in Week 11. Subsequently, we’ll have to monitor the practice reports out of Houston. Khalil Herbert (RB) Chicago Bears – The Bears opened Herbert’s window last week but kept him out of Thursday’s game. That will give Herbert an extra 10 days to recover from his ankle injury. But, now the question is usage after D’Onta Foreman has shown well as Chicago’s starter. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – Burks has been dealing with a knee injury. However, he still must clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before he can play. In five games, Burks only has eight receptions for 122 yards. In a low-volume Tennessee passing attack now being led by a second-round rookie, Burks has little fantasy value. Trent Sherfield (WR) Buffalo Bills – Sherfield left Buffalo’s Monday night loss early with an ankle ailment. River Cracraft (WR) Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins activated Cracraft (shoulder) from IR. Leighton Vander Esch (LB) Dallas Cowboys – For IDP enthusiasts, you’re used to Leighton Vander Esch being on the injured list. Unfortunately, his latest neck injury will end his season. An ESPN report indicated this could be the end of the line for the linebacker. Finally, thanks for reading the Fantasy Football Injury Report.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report Even more quarterback turnover will take place after a whirlwind Week 9. However, a ton of impactful fantasy football options are due to return to action in Week 10. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report keeps you up-to-date on all the fantasy-relevant news that will impact Week 10 and the playoff drive. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 9. We will continually update this list. Week 10 Byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, Philadelphia Ja’Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Chase landed hard on his back in Cincinnati’s Sunday Night victory over Buffalo. Chase played through the injury. However, it had a noticeable impact on his play and the early report sounded disconcerting. We will keep the FullTime Discord updated. #Bengals Ja’Marr Chase making it sound like his back injury will be something worth monitoring. Concerned tone, to be certain, from him. “I’m just going to support my teammates, man. Let those guys do what they got to do. Only thing I can do is get healthy for the team.” — Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) November 6, 2023 Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings could welcome Jefferson back as early as this week. However, he has yet to return to practice. We will monitor Jefferson’s practice participation throughout the week and keep FullTime Fantasy Members advised in the Discord Channel. UPDATE: Jefferson and K.J. Osborn are expected to miss Week 10. Deebo Samuel (WR) San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers welcomed Samuel back to practice on Monday. He will return this week in Jacksonville and just in the nick of time too. San Francisco has lost three straight games and faces a surging Jaguars squad also coming off of their bye. Dallas Goedert (TE) Philadelphia Eagles – Godert fractured his right forearm trying to snag a sideline catch. He will miss a minimum of 3-4 weeks. The Eagles don’t have a viable in-house replacement, so expect more targets for DeVonta Smith and Kenneth Gainwell. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – After missing three games, Fields has returned to practice in a limited capacity. Fields is trending in the right direction. And his return would be a boost for all Chicago fantasy options. UPDATE: Fields is OUT. Justin Fields is considered day-to-day after returning to practice Friday on a limited basis — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 7, 2023 David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions – Montgomery returned to practice on Monday and will be back in Detroit’s lineup on Sunday in Los Angeles. This is a welcomed development for fantasy football managers. But, it does complicate things after Jahmyr Gibbs’s breakout performance prior to the bye. James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals – Some more good news- the Cardinals are expected to welcome back both QB Kyler Murray and RB James Conner. And after Arizona’s shutout loss in Cleveland, these reinforcements are just in time. Murray projects to be a middling QB2 until we see how he performs. However, Conner is a strong, volume-based RB2 option. Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Downs tweaked a knee injury and could not play in the second half of Indy’s Week 9 game. We will know more about his knee as the week progresses. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – Burks is in the NFL’s concussion protocol and is considered doubtful for Week 10. Cole Kmet (TE) Chicago Bears – You can breathe a sigh of relief as tight end Cole Kmet was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice after sitting out Monday. #Bears Tuesday Injury Report: pic.twitter.com/OGge04gVnA — Bears Communications (@BearsPR) November 7, 2023 Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – A lost season for Jones ended in Week 10. Jones suffered a non-contact new injury that turned out to be a torn ACL. With Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on IR, Tommy DeVito will take over for the Giants. Cam Akers (RB) Minnesota Vikings – A second ruptured Achilles will end Cam Akers’s season. Akers already made an unprecedented return to action following his first Achilles injury. However, expecting a second miraculous recovery is highly unlikely. Matthew Stafford (QB) Los Angeles Rams – The fact that the Rams signed Carson Wentz is worrisome. Stafford injured his thumb in Week 9 and missed last week’s game. When he’s up to speed, Wentz is an upgrade over Brett Rypien, who was held to 130 scoreless yards in Sunday’s defeat. Darren Waller (TE) New York Giants – More bad news for the Giants. The hamstring injury that forced Waller out of Week 9 is severe enough that the club placed Waller on IR. Subsequently, Waller will be out until at least Week 15. Robert Woods (WR) Houston Texans – After missing two games, Woods is expected to return this week at Cincinnati, so be cautious with the amount of FAAB you use on Noah Brown. Also, Woods makes an intriguing pickup per FullTime Fantsy’s Matchup Analyzer Tool, which ranks the Texans with the second-easiest schedule for wide receivers in the next four weeks. UPDATE: Woods has not returned to practice, putting his Week 10 status in doubt. Ka’imi Fairbairn (PK) Houston Texans – The Texans were forced to use RB Dare Ogunbowale as an emergency kicker after Fairbairn injured his quadriceps. Subsequently, the Texans just signed free agent Matt Amendola to their practice squad. That puts Fairbairn’s Week 10 availability in doubt. UPDATE: Faibarin will not play. Khalil Herbert (RB) Chicago Bears – Chicago designated their starting running back to return from IR. However, Herbert will not play on Thursday. Continue to start D’Onta Foreman. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Reports indicate that Achane will be ready to return to action following Miami’s Week
Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report Injuries hit hard in Week 8. Especially at the quarterback position. One look at this week’s potential starters tells us all we need to know. Whether these injuries are to starting quarterbacks or any other skill-position spot, the Fantasy Football Injury Report breaks down the impact for Week 9 and moving forward. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 9. We will continually update this list. Week 9 Byes: Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, San Francisco Matthew Stafford (QB) Los Angeles Rams – Stafford is listed as day-to-day with an injured right (throwing) thumb. Last year, Stafford had the same injury occur. That resulted in scar tissue, which complicates the current ailment. Also, Stafford was severely limited down the stretch a year ago. The Rams are exploring adding a veteran as insurance. Our early guess is that Stafford will attempt to play through the injury. However, if last year is an indicator, his velocity and accuracy could be hampered. Brett Rypien is LA’s backup. Finally, Stafford’s injury is a UCL sprain. UPDATE: Stafford did not practice Wednesday and is trending in the wrong direction. Brett Rypien would be next man up. If you’re keeping track… – Rams QB Matthew Stafford has a sprained UCL (right thumb); is “day to day” per Sean McVay. – Rams will try to bring in another QB, intended to sign John Wolford per @DMRussini but were just informed Wolford will now stay in TB https://t.co/AVz0mR29Wc — Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) October 31, 2023 Kirk Cousins (QB) Minnesota Vikings – A ruptured Achilles ended Cousins’s season. In a corresponding move, the Vikings traded for Josh Dobbs from Arizona. Cousins will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. Also, this bodes well for Kyler Murray‘s availability for the Cardinals. UPDATE: Cousins was placed on season-ending IR. Kenny Pickett (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Pickett exited Week 8 with a rib injury. Mitchell Trubisky finished the game for the Steelers. Complicating Pickett’s status is the fact that the Steelers are scheduled to play on Thursday. However, Pickett told the Pittsburgh media on Tuesday that he intends to start. Pickett was limited in Tuesday’s practice. But that is a good sign. UPDATE: Pickett is good to go. Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – The Giants cleared Jones to return from his neck injury. Jones will be back under center in Week 9 as the Giants travel to Las Vegas. Tyrod Taylor (ribs) is week-to-week. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – Matt Eberflus announced that Tyson Bagent will start for Chicago in Week 9. That puts Fields on a trajectory to return at home in Week 10 as the Bears host the Panthers. UPDATE: Fields won’t play Week 9. Ryan Tannehill (QB) Tennessee Titans – Tannehill has not returned to practice. He is still recovering from an ankle injury that occurred in Week 6. However, after Will Levis’s debut, don’t expect to see Tannehill back anytime soon. UPDATE: Tannehill is out, as expected. Puka Nacua (WR) Los Angeles Rams – Nacua was limited on Wednesday with a knee injury. It doesn’t appear to be something too serious. But with a player of Nacua’s caliber, we’ll keep a close eye on it and have updates in Discor Darren Waller (TE) New York Giants – A hamstring injury will keep Waller out for multiple weeks. Subsequently, an IR stint is possible. Deshaun Watson (QB) Cleveland Browns – Watson (shoulder) will start Sunday. Tyler Lockett (WR) Seattle Seahawks – Lockett did not practice on Wednesday. He’s dealing with a hamstring ailment but was able to play through it last week. At this point, it looks like the staff is simply being cautious with their veteran wideout. As long as he participates by Friday, Lockett should be fine in a big game against Baltimore. Drake London (WR) Atlanta Falcons – London left Atlanta’s Week 8 loss early with a groin injury. He did not practice Wednesday, which is concerning. If he is unable to practice by Saturday, London could miss Week 9. We will have more updates in the FullTime Discord Channel. UPDATE: London is OUT. Josh Palmer (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Palmer aggravated an existing knee injury and missed some snaps. However, he was able to finish the game. Expect Palmer to be limited in practice this week. But, he should play. Kendrick Bourne (WR) New England Patriots – Bourne tore his ACL on Sunday. His 2023 season is over. Subsequently, this should result in more targets for Demario Douglas. Curtis Samuel (WR) Washington Commanders – A toe injury knocked Samuel out of Washington’s loss to Philadelphia after 14 snaps. Samuel will undergo further testing this week. We will have more updates in the FullTime Fantasy Discord Channel. UPDATE: Samuel is OUT. Pick up Jamison Crowder as a replacement. Robert Woods (WR) Houston Texans – Woods will miss at least one more week with a foot injury. Also, tight end Brevin Jordan will miss additional time with plantar fasciitis. And TE Tegan Quitoriano was placed on IR with a groin injury. Damien Williams (RB) Arizona Cardinals – Williams exited Week 8 with a foot injury. However, he’s well off the fantasy radar. Dameon Pierce (RB) Houston Texans – Ruled OUT. Finally, these players are due back in Week 10: Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings Deebo Samuel (WR) San Francisco 49ers David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals Finally, thanks for reading the Fantasy Football Injury Report.

Fantasy Football News & Rankings Update
Fantasy Football News & Rankings Update It’s kind of alarming that Halloween is nearly here and we’re halfway through the 2023 football season. That went by fast. These mid-season weeks are crucial. Also, Week 8 has no bye weeks to contend with. Our Fantasy Football News & Rankings Update gets you prepared for Sunday and Monday’s action. First, check out our Advanced NFL Snap Counts Report to see which player’s usage is trending in the right direction. Secondly, Adam has some spicy takes in his Week 8 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em article. Finally, DFS legend Shawn Childs does a thorough breakdown of the entire DFS field in his DFS Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, and Tight End Reports. We are also at the time of year when weather can be a factor. Forecast for Sunday’s Chiefs-Broncos game in Denver calls for a high of 29 degrees, a low of 13, with 6-14 inches of snow, per the National Weather Service. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 28, 2023 Week 8 Injury News Brocky Purdy has progressed through the NFL’s concussion protocol and should be under center to face the Bengals. We have Purdy as a borderline QB1 in our Week 8 rankings. Brock Purdy appears to be on pace (as long as there’s no setback) to receive full clearance for Sunday’s game. https://t.co/QgXH0OU56g — Matt Maiocco (Threads @maiocconbcs) (@MaioccoNBCS) October 27, 2023 Aaron Jones does not have an injury designated. However, he may be on a ‘snap count’ to protect his hamstring. That keeps Jones as a riskier RB2 this week. Jerome Ford returned to practice Friday. But fantasy managers should be very wary of starting a player so soon after being diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. #Browns Jerome Ford – TBD. Data favors sitting. Very rare for even mild high ankle to return following week. If active, expect performance dip + workload dip. Likely return Wk 9#Browns Kareem Hunt – Playing. Thigh contusions typically cause low RB performance impact 12/24 — Deepak Chona, MD. SportsMedAnalytics (@SportMDAnalysis) October 28, 2023 Jimmy Garoppolo practiced in full on Friday. He will be back to starting in Detroit and represents an upgrade for all Raiders’ skill position players. Roschon Johnson is back after missing two games with a concussion. However, Johnson now has to contend for touches with an ascending D’Onta Foreman. But, Johnson is the superior pass catcher, so he has an edge in a game that the Bears are 8.5-point underdogs in Los Angeles. David Montgomery did not practice all week. The Lions have a Week 9 bye. Our lofty projections for Jahmyr Gibbs show there’s next to zero chance he will suit up this week. UPDATE: Montgomery is OUT. Josh Palmer was limited to sideline work at Friday’s practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. Palmer is questionable. However, if he plays will have a tantalizing matchup. We will have more in the FullTime Discord on Sunday. Luke Musgrave (ankle) is a game-time decision. Miles Sanders is back, so we lowered Week 8 projections for Chuba Hubbard. At this point, it’s hard to handicap what will happen in Carolina, coming off of a bye with a new play-caller. That makes both Sanders and Hubbard risk/reward RB2/3 options. Kyler Murray is doubtful. Zack Moss missed a pair of practices this week and is looking very iffy for the Saints game. However, if Moss sits, Jonathan Taylor will move into RB1 territory. Juwan Johnson is back after a four-week absence. Justyn Ross has been placed on this Commissioner’s exempt list after an arrest. Subsequently, Ross can be dropped in all formats. Also, for the Chiefs, Justin Watson (elbow) returns. Daniel Carlson (groin) has not practiced all week. The Raiders signed James McCourt to the to fill in if Carlson is ruled out in Detroit. P.J. Walker will start for the Browns. This is a downgrade for all Cleveland pass catchers. Juju Smith-Schuster has no injury designation. His return cools Kendrick Bourne off slightly.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report There were some frustrating injury occurrences in Week 7 that torpedoed many fantasy lineups. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report catches you up on all of the fantasy-relevant injuries that will impact your lineups in Week 8 and beyond. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 8. We will continually update this list. Week 8 Byes: NONE Deebo Samuel (WR) San Francisco 49ers – A hairline fracture in his shoulder sidelined Samuel for Week 7 and will keep him out for Week 8. The 49ers have a Week 9 bye, so Week 10 seems like a realistic timeline for Samuel to return. Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud will play bigger roles while Samuel is out. However, neither is fantasy-relevant. Bijan Robinson (RB) Atlanta Falcons – There are no indication that rookie RB Bijan Robinson is injured. However, his absence in Week 7 had severe consequences. He came up ill before Atlanta’s Week 7 win in Tampa and played a mere 11 snaps. Not only were fantasy managers surprised by Robinson’s lack of role, but the Falcons could face consequences for their handling of the situation. The NFL is now asking injury-report compliance questions to the Atlanta Falcons about when they knew rookie running back Bijan Robinson wasn’t physically well and why it was not reported, as per league policy. It is standard practice for the league to question teams about a… — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 23, 2023 DK Metcalf (WR) Seattle Seahawks – Metcalf missed his first NFL game with a rib injury. Most thought Metcalf would be active. However, Pete Carroll decided to be cautious. Metcalf should be back in Week 8. Note: Metcalf faces the most difficult matchup in the league this week vs WRs in Cleveland who only allow 23.3 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Kyren Williams (RB) Los Angeles Rams – Last week the Rams sent Williams (knee) to IR. He will miss four games plus LA’s Week 10 bye. That puts Williams in line for a Week 12 return to action. Zach Ertz (TE) Arizona Cardinals – Ertz was sent to the IR with a quad injury. He will miss at least four games. That will open up more opportunities for Trey McBride, who has shown improvement in the last two games. Fantasy managers can drop Ertz. Roschon Johnson (RB) Chicago Bears – Johnson is in the final stages of the NFL’s concussion protocol. He should return this week. However, after D’Onta Foreman’s breakout, it is fair to question how much playing time Johnson will garner after missing two games. Jerome Ford (RB) Cleveland Browns – A high-ankle sprain will cause Ford to miss 1-2 games. Kareem Hunt will see more touches. Also, Pierre Strong will mix int. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – Matt Eberflus has already said that Fields is doubtful for Week 8. Expect Tyson Bagent to get at least one more start. Chicago has a favorable schedule for the next month, so whoever is under center should be on fantasy radars. Jimmy Garoppolo (QB) Las Vegas Raiders – The Raiders were embarrassed in Chicago. Brian Hoyer’s abysmal play was a catalyst for Vegas’s struggles. By all indications, Jimmy Garooppolo will be back under center in Detroit and has plenty of motivation to return to the lineup. Raiders’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a $90,000 per-game-active-roster bonus that he misses out on for each game that he doesn’t play. Garoppolo now has missed out on $180,000 in roster bonuses the past two weeks, but he’s expected to start making it back next Monday night. https://t.co/uvnhS7CWrI — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 22, 2023 Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals – Bestball drafters rejoice! The Cardinals opened Murray’s 21-day window to return. Murray should practice this week. If all goes well, he could be back under center in the next 1-2 weeks. Also, Murray is a priority waiver wire target where available. Christian Watson (WR) Green Bay Packers – Watson tweaked his knee and is considered questionable. We’ll have to keep an eye on Watson’s practice participation all week and keep the FullTime Fantasy Discord updated. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – Absent since Week 4 with a knee injury, Burks practiced during Tennesee’s Week 7 bye and is set to return. This will be a much-needed boost for a Titans’ passing attack which ranks 29th in the league. Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – Jones missed his second straight game. However, local media indicated that Jones was close to suiting up last week against Washington. Tyrod Taylor has filled in admirably, so the Giants do not have to rush Jones back into the lineup. Deshaun Watson (QB) Cleveland Browns – Watson’s return was brief, exiting Week 7 in the first quarter. The quarterback hit his head on the turf but cleared concussion protocol. However, Kevin Stefanski chose to keep P.J. Walker in the lineup. Subsequently, Watson is a volatile fantasy option. Ryan Tannehill (QB) Tennessee Titans – Tannehill is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is considered questionable to play against the Falcons. He did not practice Tuesday. Coming off a bye, that’s a good indication that Tannehlll will miss at least one more start. Malik Willis will fill in if Tannehill is unable to go. Greg Dulcich (TE) Denver Broncos – After playing 11 snaps in Week 6, Dulcich hurt his hamstring. Subsequently, the Broncos placed Dulchich on IR for the second time this season. The earliest he can return is Week 10. #Broncos announce that they’ve activated Baron Browning from the PUP and placed Greg Dulcich on IR — Ryan Edwards (@redwardsradio) October 21,
Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report Another week, another round of impactful injuries. Approaching the mid-point of 2023 and it’s unlikely any roster hasn’t been affected. All we can do is reinforce through the waiver wire and stay proactive. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 7 will keep you updated on the news and offer advice on how to persevere. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 7. We will continually update this list. Week 7 Byes: Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, New York Jets, Tennessee Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers – In a season filled with big names getting hurt, perhaps no injury would hit as hard as losing the overall RB1, Christian McCaffrey. He exited Week 6 with an oblique injury and had an MRI on Monday. Fortunatley, Kyle Shanahan opined that CMC is “day-to-day,” so a major injury was avoided. However, that doesn’t mean fantasy managers shouldn’t be proactive. Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason should be scooped up off waivers. Anthony Richardson (QB) Indianapolis Colts – Unfortunately, Richardson’s rookie season will end prematurely. Colts owner Jim Irsay said that Richardson is expected to have season-ending surgery on his sprained AC joint. Subsequently, Gardner Minshew will assume the starting job. Minshew offers weekly QB2 upside. However, Richardson is relegated to dynasty hold. Kyren Williams (RB) Los Angeles Rams – Although Williams will miss one game, fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Williams avoided a major injury. He has a minor sprained ankle. Backup Ronnie Rivers wasn’t as fortunate. Subsequently, Rivers is a candidate for IR. As a result, Zach Evans becomes one of the most coveted Week 7 waiver wire targets. An MRI today revealed that Rams’ RB Kyren Williams has a sprained ankle that is expected to sideline him for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers but is not considered a long-term injury, per source. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 16, 2023 Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – Fields dislocated his thumb. He’s doubtful for Week 7. In fact, Fields could miss multiple weeks, as he is unable to grip the ball. Therefore, there is no concrete return timetable. We don’t recommend targeting whoever steps in as Chicago’s backup signal caller. David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions – A rib injury will force Montgomery to miss 1-2 games. Also, Jahmyr Gibbs missed last week with a hamstring injury. If Gibbs is healthy, he would be on the RB2 radar. However, Gibbs didn’t excel when Montgomery missed Week 3. Conversely, Craig Reynolds looks like a good bet for a prominent role this week in Baltimore. Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – Lawrence injured his knee last week but was able to finish the game. He has practiced with a brace all week. The Jags play on Thursday, but Lawrence is expected to be under center. However, we may see fewer runs for Lawrence, capping his fantasy upside in a tough matchup. Deebo Samuel (WR) San Francisco 49ers – Samuel is day-to-day. The injury is not long-term. #49ers injury updates from Kyle Shanahan: Christian McCaffrey: Is undergoing imaging now to determine what’s up with ribs/oblique. Deebo Samuel: He’s day to day with a shoulder injury. Trent Williams: It’s NOT a high ankle. He’s day to day, too. — Matt Maiocco (Threads @maiocconbcs) (@MaioccoNBCS) October 16, 2023 Deshaun Watson (QB) Cleveland Browns – Watson (shoulder) is week-to-week. Last week, the Browns medical staff cleared Watson. However, reports indicate that Watson is having trouble getting power behind any throws. Cleveland was off in Week 5, so Watson’s inability to start last Sunday is worrisome. We will have more in the FullTime Fantasy Discord as the week progresses. Zay Jones (WR) Jacksonville Jaguars – Jones missed Week 6 with a knee injury and did not practice Tuesday. There’s almost no chance he plays Thursday. Jimmy Garoppolo (QB) Las Vegas Raiders – A back injury knocked Garoppolo out of the Raiders’ Week 6 victory. However, the severity is unknown. The team is still awaiting further test results. We’ll have more in Discord later this week. Damien Harris (RB) Buffalo Bills – A scary situation in Buffalo seems to have a promising conclusion. Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance. However, he did give a thumbs-up before heading to a local hospital. Currently, Harris is in the league’s concussion protocol. While Harris is absent, expect more work for Latavius Murray. Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – Jones is still dealing with symptoms from his neck injury. In addition, Jones previously had a cervical injury that cost him six games in 2021. Also, the 1-5 Giants have little hope of contending, plus they have a quality backup in Tyrod Taylor. In conclusion, don’t expect Jones back in Week 7, and expect more of Taylor under center. Ryan Tannehill (QB) Tennessee Titans – A high-ankle sprain knocked Tannehill out of Tennessee’s Week 6 loss. However, the Titans are off this week. That gives Tannehill a full two weeks to recover. If the veteran can’t play in Week 8, Malik Willis will start. Subsequently, that would be a downgrade for the supporting cast. Jamaal Williams (RB) New Orleans Saints – Williams (hamstring) is nearing a return. However, with Alvin Kamara soaking up touches, it is fair to wonder if Williams will have much, if any role when he does. Diontae Johnson (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – Finally, we try to end on a positive. It sounds like the Steelers will welcome back Anthony McFarland and Diontae Johnson this week. Also, TE Pat Freiermuth should return. The #Steelers have designated WR Diontae Johnson and RB Anthony McFarland Jr. to return from injured reserve. Both will practice this week and I
Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report: Week 6 Week 5 will go down as one of the most devastating weeks in recent memory. In the Fulltime Fantasy Discord, Snake deemed it Tragic Tuesday. Our Fantasy Football Injury Report: Week 6 catches you up on the latest news. Also, we offer advice on how to approach these injuries before your waiver wire bids are due. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report: Week 6. We will continually update this list. Week 6 Byes: Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The most devastating blow to come out of a terrible injury slate was the news that consensus 1.01 Justin Jefferson would be placed on IR with a hamstring injury. This is a devastating blow for the 1-4 Vikings as well as millions of fantasy rosters. Jefferson will miss a minimum of four games. The earliest JJ could return would be Week 10 versus New Orleans. However, Minnesota’s season appears to be a lost one. The Vikings don’t have a bye until Week 13. If Jefferson doesn’t progress through rehab, there may not be a ton of motivation to rush him back. K.J. Osborn should inherit Jefferson’s ‘X’ role, making him a top waiver wire priority. The #Vikings plan to place WR Justin Jefferson on injured reserve because of the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to Kansas City, per sources. The exact timeline is TBD based on how he responds to treatment. But Jefferson is out at least four games. pic.twitter.com/hBAYZHZqlV — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 10, 2023 De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Second in the NFL in rushing and third in fantasy scoring, rookie De’Von Achane will miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. At the time, the injury didn’t appear serious. However, the club has indicated Achane is a candidate for IR, which would keep him out a minimum of four games. Jeffery Wilson, who was just activated, is the best replacement target for Achane managers. UPDATE: Achane is on IR. Justin Jefferson to IR and De’Von Achane might be right behind him Worst Tuesday morning EVER — Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) October 10, 2023 Anthony Richardson (QB) Indianapolis Colts – A Grade 3 sprained AC joint will keep Richardson sidelined for a month. The rookie signal-caller banged his shoulder on the turf as he was tackled from behind. Richardson immediately motioned to his right (throwing) shoulder. Richardson previously missed half of Week 2 and all of Week 3 with a concussion. Gardner Minshew will start in his place for at least the next three games. James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals – Another season, another lengthy absence for stand-out RB James Conner. Conner injured his knee on a long run and will miss multiple weeks. Expect the Cardinals to employ a committee backfield. Emari Demercado is the best bet to target on the waiver wire. As for Conner, volume dictates that he is a strong hold or ‘buy low’ candidate. Update: Arizona placed Conner on IR. Subsequently, you can boost your Demercado bids. The #Cardinals are placing RB James Conner (knee) on injured reserve, per source. He’s out at least four games. pic.twitter.com/bsYY73JUkq — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 10, 2023 Travis Kelce (TE) Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs are due to play Thursday, which gives Travis Kelce little time to heal his ankle. Kelce originally went down with no contact. However, he returned to the game and caught a touchdown. That quelled Achilles’ concerns. However, there have been no updates on the status of the ankle injury. However, Kelce practiced on Tuesday. That’s a good sign. Jahmyr Gibbs (RB) Detroit Lions – Gibbs was a surprise add to the injury list. He hurt his hamstring late last week and missed Detroit’s victory. And, Gibbs could miss 1-2 more weeks. Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – A rib injury kept Higgins out last week. We will know more about his Week 6 availability as the week progresses. Javonte Williams (RB) Denver Broncos – Williams sat out Week 5 and was a limited participant in Monday’s practice. He was a game-time call last week. However, he was close to playing. Williams is set to return in Week 6. We’ll have more in Discord as the week progresses. Khalil Herbert (RB) Chicago Bears – First, the Bears lost Roschon Johnson to a concussion. Second, Khalil Herbert was felled by a high-ankle sprain. Herbert is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. However, Johnson must clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can practice. Finally, D’Onta Foreman should be added on waivers. Foreman hasn’t played since Week 1. However, he may be the only healthy back Chicago can play against Minnesota. Tank Dell (WR) Houston Texans – A concussion forced Dell to miss the second half of Houston’s last-second loss in Atlanta. Subsequently, Dell will have to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before he can return to action. John Metchie would see an increased role if Dell misses Sunday’s home tilt with New Orleans. Deshaun Watson (QB) Cleveland Browns – The Browns list Watson as day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Watson was a surprise scratch last week. If Watson misses Week 6, P.J. Walker will start on Sunday. However, it might be wise to simply avoid whoever is under center against the 49ers. Dalton Kincaid (TE) Buffalo Bills – Kincaid is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. The Bills had an awful trip abroad, losing to the Jaguars and getting decimated by costly injuries. Furthermore, the Bills don’t play until Sunday Night Football, which complicates Kincaid’s fantasy availability. Aaron Jones (RB) Green Bay Packers – Jones sat out Monday’s loss with a bothersome hamstring. This came
