{Click to See Full Injury Article Here}
QUARTERBACKS
- JORDAN LOVE (Packers) Out 3-6 Weeks (I’m projecting Week 5 Return @ Rams)
Injury: (MCL Sprain{Knee})
Fantasy Impact: Bench Jordan until further notice. Malik Willis projected to start. - JOSH ALLEN (Bills) Will play Thursday vs Dolphins.
Injury: (Non Throwing Hand{Left})
Fantasy Impact: Start with Confidence!
RUNNING BACKS
- KENNETH WALKER III (Seahawks)
Injury: (Abdomen) Questionable
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
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)
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.
Fantasy Impact: Move to your IR Slot or Bench until further notice. This is a MINIMUM of 4 games missed. - ROME ODUNZE(Bears)
Injury: (Knee) Questionable
Fantasy Impact: Awaiting Second Opinion. Bench until further notice. This could potentially be a 1-3 week injury. - JORDAN ADDISON (Vikings)
Injury: (Ankle) Questionable
Fantasy Impact: Wait for further results, but sounding like Addison avoided serious injury.
TIGHT ENDS
- DAVID NJOKU (Browns)
Injury: (High Ankle Sprain)
Fantasy Impact: Await Test Results. Let’s hope it’s nothing major and we are only week to week.
- JAKE FERGUSON (Dallas)

Featured Article of the Week
Wacky FFL: Vampire Leagues {Click for full article}
Author: Scott Gerhardt
[Excerpt]
“Today, though, I want to kick off a new series which covers an area of Fantasy Football that gets very little coverage – what I call the “wacky” fantasy football leagues, or Wacky FFL. These are most of your non-traditional leagues, almost always some form of redraft. Things I will not be covering here: normal redraft, dynasty, keeper, IDP, Best Ball, or Guillotine leagues. Those are covered plenty. I want everything we cover here to be something that gets very little, if any love elsewhere.
Now I want to open with this – these leagues are not for everyone. If you like your fantasy with standard lineups, rolling waivers, a trade deadline, and your idea of “going wild” is using FAAB instead, you’re probably not my audience.”
“For the first article I’m going to cover the league that got me into the whole wacky fantasy thing: Vampire. Now, like with a lot of these leagues, the exact rules will likely vary league-to-league, so I’ll be covering either what the “consensus” rules are, or what my own experience has been.”
