QUARTERBACKS

  • JORDAN LOVE (Packers) Out 3-6 Weeks
    Injury: (MCL Sprain{Knee}) 
    According to Adam Schefter (ESPN NFL Insider) on The Pat McAfee Show “I think Jordan Love is gonna be out for 3-4 weeks..
    It looked bad but the tests showed that it was a spained MCL”
    Fantasy Impact: Bench Jordan until further notice. (I’m projecting Week 5 Return @ Rams). Expect Malik Willis to get the to start.
  • JOSH ALLEN (Bills)
    Injury: (Non Throwing Hand{Left}) Josh Will play Thursday vs Dolphins.
    According to Ian Rapoport (NFL Network Insider) on X {formally Twitter}, Bills coach Sean McDermott tells reporters that QB Josh Allen, is dealing with a left hand injury. Has been cleared to practice and will play Thursday vs Dolphins.
    Fantasy Impact: Start with Confidence!

RUNNING BACKS

  • KENNETH WALKER III (Seahawks)
    Injury: (Abdomen) Questionable
    According to Gregg Bell (Seahawks beat writer @ Tacoma News Tribune) on X {formally Twitter}, Coach Mike Macdonald says on #Seahawks  RB Kenneth Walker, status for this week with the abdominal pain that took him out of the win over Denver late after his 103-yard rushing day: “Nothing new right now. Takin it day by day with K-9.”
    Also…
    According to Bob Condotta (The Seattle Times) on X {formally Twitter}, Kenneth Walker III says “I’m good” when asked about the abdominal injury that held him out at end.
    Fantasy Impact: I believe Walker will be a GO in Week 2. See if Zach Charbonnet is out there on Waivers if you are worried.
  • CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY (49ers)
    Injury: (Achilles Tendinitis) Listed day to day
    According to The San Fransisco Chronicle on X {formally Twitter}, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey’s Achilles issue that’s tied to his calf injury involves tendinitis, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan termed McCaffrey’s status “day to day” ahead of their Sunday game against the Vikings.
    Fantasy Impact: Short week with travel to Minnesota. My guess is CMC misses another week. FIRE UP JORDAN MASON.
  • RAHEEM MOSTERT /DE’VON ACHANE(Dolphins)
    Injury: (Chest) (Ankle)
    According to Cameron Wolfe (NFL Reporter @ NFL Network) on Twitter, Dolphins RBs Raheem Mostert (chest) and De’Von Achane (ankle) didn’t practice today in team walkthrough.
  • 2nd straight day they are listed as DNP ahead of Thursday’s game vs. Bills. Def something to watch.
    Fantasy Impact: Injuries occurred on Sunday. They have both missed Monday and Tuesday’s practice. It’s a short week and Dolphins play at home on Thursday. My guess is either one or both guys could miss week 2 against Buffalo. Look for JAYLEN WRIGHT on Waivers.

Wide Receivers

  • PUCA NACUA (Rams)
    Injury: (PCL Sprain{Knee}) Moved to IR
    According to Ian Rapoport (NFL Network Insider) on NFL GameDay Kickoff, The Rams are placing WR Puka Nacua on Injured Reserve with a PCL sprain.
    Fantasy Impact: Move to your IR Slot or Bench until further notice. This is a MINIMUM of 4 games missed. Go look for Tyler Johnson on Waivers if you’re in deeper leagues and in need of a Receiver.
  • ROME ODUNZE(Bears)
    Injury: (Knee) Questionable
    According to Jordan Schultz (NFL Insider) on X {formally Twitter}, The initial belief is that Bears rookie WR Rome Odunze suffered a Grade 1 knee sprain during Sunday’s win over the Titans.
    Odunze will seek a second opinion, but this is best case scenario for the talented rookie receiver.
    Fantasy Impact: Awaiting Second Opinion. Bench until further notice. This could potentially be a 1-3 week injury.
  • JORDAN ADDISON (Vikings)
    Injury: (Ankle) Questionable
    According to Ian Rapoport (NFL Network Insider) on X {formally Twitter}, Vikings WR Jordan Addison will have more tests on his ankle injury tomorrow, but my understanding is he is not believed to have suffered a major injury. 
    Good news for an offense that saw Sam Darnold look effortless — with his only INT coming on a deflected pass after being hit.
    Fantasy Impact: Wait for further results, but sounding like Addison avoided a serious injury.

TIGHT ENDS

  • DAVID NJOKU (Browns)
    Injury: (High Ankle Sprain) 
    According to Ian Rapoport (NFL Network Insider) on {formally Twitter}, Browns Pro Bowl TE David Njoku is feared to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys, sources say. He’ll have tests on Monday to confirm.
    Fantasy Impact: Await Test Results. Let’s hope it’s nothing major and we are only week to week.
  • JAKE FERGUSON (Dallas)
    Injury: (Knee) Questionable
    According to Ian Rapoport (NFL Network Insider) on X {formally Twitter}, Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, who went down with a knee injury today, is not believed to have suffered an ACL tear based on initial tests, sources say. X-Rays negative, MRI coming tomorrow.
    Explains why QB Dak Prescott told reporters, “I think we dodged a big one.”
    Fantasy Impact: My guess is that Jake is out for 1-2 weeks.
