Fantasy owners are understandably cautious after Adam Thielen’s production dipped in the middle of last season when Minnesota switched offensive coordinators, but he’s just too talented to pass up at his current third-round draft price.

Ekeler actually had a productive outing against Arizona, but he made one of the worst mistakes a running back can make: he fumbled on a goal-to-go carry. On 1st-and-goal at the 2-yard line, he got stood up at the line of scrimmage, and linebacker Jordan Hicks stripped the ball..

Mariota left Saturday’s game against the Redskins with a stinger injury on his throwing arm in the second quarter. He was listed as questionable to return, but he did not re-enter the game. After the game, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that Mariota is “still being evaluated.”

Fortunately, Keenan Allen appears to have avoided a long-term injury, but his availability for Week 16 still seems to be in question. If he is forced to miss that game, then Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams would be the team’s full-time starting wideouts.

Hill left Sunday’s game against the Ravens twice, although he returned both times. He first left the game with a wrist injury in the first quarter, and then he later left the game again with a heel injury in the second quarter.

Olsen left Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers with a right foot injury in the second quarter. He limped off the field before being carted to the locker room, and he did not return to the game. After the game, Olsen indicated that he ruptured the plantar fascia in his foot.

There weren’t a ton of injuries this week, but there was one that could cause a stud running back to miss time. Here’s everything we know about that injury (among others), along with the fantasy impact: Melvin Gordon, RB, Los ...

This was a bad week for injuries, and our prayers go out to Redskins quarterback Alex Smith in particular. Exactly 33 years after Redskins legend Joe Theismann broke two bones in his right leg, Smith suffered the same injury.

Cooper Kupp left Sunday’s game against the Seahawks with a left knee injury in the fourth quarter. It was a non-contact injury that he suffered while running a route, and he did not return to the game.

Carson left Sunday’s game against the Chargers with a hip injury. He was originally listed as doubtful to return, and he did not re-enter the game. In the post-game press conference, head coach Pete Carroll did not elaborate on the severity of the injury, but he confirmed that it was the same hip injury that Carson had been dealing with all week.

Kansas City has not yet given any other updates regarding Tyreek Hill’s injury, so we don’t know the seriousness of it at this point. If Hill is forced to miss Week 9 against Cleveland, then Sammy Watkins would become the team’s No. 1 receiver, with Chris Conley being the likely starter opposite him.

The Patriots have not released any information about Michel’s injury, but his inability to put weight on his leg is certainly concerning. He also appeared to be in a lot of pain following the injury, so don’t be surprised if he is forced to miss significant time. That would be a big blow to the Patriots, who have already placed Rex Burkhead and Jeremy Hill on IR.

Kupp left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a left knee injury in the second quarter. He suffered the injury when safety Darian Stewart dragged him down with a horse-collar tackle, causing his knee to bend awkwardly. After being carted to the locker room, Kupp briefly returned for the second half, but he was quickly removed from the game.

After a brutal week of injuries in Week 4, this week was much kinder to fantasy owners. Nevertheless, there were a handful of players who got banged up, so we’re here to give you the rundown. Here’s everything we know so far, along with the fantasy impact...

With Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker, Evan Engram, and Jack Doyle all experiencing multi-week injuries, the 2018 season has yielded a wasteland at the tight end position. Unfortunately, there were four more fantasy-relevant tight ends who got injured this week, and ...

There weren’t many injuries this week, but there was one that will have massive fallout. Any time a solid quarterback on a good offense goes down with a potential season-ending injury — as Jimmy Garoppolo did on Sunday — there ...

Week 1 was a rough one for injuries, but thankfully Week 2 was much better. Fortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anything season-ending for any fantasy studs, although there are a few players who could miss some time. Here’s a ...

Football is back! Unfortunately, that also means that injuries are back. There were a handful of injuries this week, including a couple potentially serious ones to two high-profile tight ends. Still, injury can also mean opportunity in fantasy, so I’m ...

Week 3 of the preseason — “dress rehearsal week” — is over, which means it’s once again time to analyze the tape. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or ...

Week 2 of the preseason is in the books, which means it’s time for another recap. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or bad performances. But if you watch ...

Football is finally here, which means it’s time to analyze what we saw in the first week of the preseason. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or bad performances. ...

Although they experienced a small resurgence last year, workhorse running backs are still a rarity in today’s game. Instead, most teams employ a committee approach, splitting the workload to keep their players fresh. While that strategy can be useful on ...

Do you play in a 16-team league? Or maybe you’re in a league with 10+ bench spots? Every league is different, but some formats require you to scrape the bottom of the barrel. If you play in one of these ...

It seems that this injury will bring an end to Murray’s frustrating and inefficient regular season, but the good news for Tennessee is that it has a capable backup in second-year running back Derrick Henry. The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner has averaged a solid 4.7 yards per carry this season, compared to just 3.6 yards per carry for Murray.

Brown’s injury came at an unfortunate time for fantasy owners, as they’ll now be without the league’s best wideout for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs. In Brown’s absence, second-round rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster and fourth-year receiver Martavis Bryant figure to be Ben Roethlisberger’s primary receiving weapons.

If Kamara is unable to make it back for Week 15, Mark Ingram would be the workhorse, although the Saints could also decide to take a more pass-heavy approach (which they did on Thursday). Regardless of Kamara’s availability, Ingram is a no-brainer RB1.

As of this writing, the Eagles have not yet stated that Ertz suffered a concussion, but given the severity of the hit, it seems likely that he is in the concussion protocol. If that’s the case, his future availability will obviously depend on how quickly he can clear the protocol.

Amari Cooper left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a head/neck injury in the second quarter. He took a vicious hit from Broncos safety Darian Stewart, which appeared to knock him out. He was on the ground for a while as medical staff tended to him..

This is a tough break for Thompson, whose stellar season will now be cut short. With Thompson out and Rob Kelley on IR, fourth-round rookie Samaje Perine received the bulk of the workload, rushing for an impressive 117 yards on 23 carries.

Devonta Freeman left Sunday’s game against the Cowboys with a head injury in the first quarter, and he did not return to the game. He was originally listed as questionable to return, but he was later ruled out with a concussion.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett has described Bryant’s injury as a sprain, but he said the team is still waiting to learn more about the severity. Meanwhile, Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News tweeted that Bryant doesn’t seem overly concerned about his ankle..

Jordan Reed left Sunday’s game against the Cowboys with a hamstring injury in the second quarter, hobbling off the field after running a route. He came out with the team after halftime but returned to the locker room soon after.

Dan Bailey suffered a groin injury in Sunday’s game against the 49ers. It’s unclear when exactly he suffered the injury, but he was ruled out for the rest of the game in the second quarter.

It goes without saying that losing Aaron Rodgers is a huge loss for the Packers, although backup quarterback Brett Hundley will attempt to keep the team afloat while Rodgers recovers. From a fantasy perspective, Rodgers can be dropped in all formats that don’t include an IR spot.

Beckham suffered a left ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chargers. His left leg got awkwardly wedged under a defender as he was trying to haul in a pass, and he was eventually carted off the field.

Carr left Sunday’s game against the Broncos in the third quarter with a back injury. His back got twisted when he was tackled awkwardly, and he later went to the locker room to get X-rays.

Sproles left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a wrist injury early in the second quarter, and he remained sidelined for the rest of the game. Multiple sources are now reporting that Sproles is believed to have suffered a broken arm and will be out indefinitely.

Olsen suffered a non-contact injury to his right foot early in the second quarter against the Bills, and he told reporters after the game that the foot is broken. Olsen is expected to be out for an extended period of time, although the Panthers are yet to give a timetable.

It was a tough day for Johnson, who overcame one injury scare, only to give us another. On a 24-yard reception, Johnson got hit hard and was seen holding his midsection in pain. He appeared okay on the sideline afterward and re-entered the game on the next drive, but he injured his wrist and fumbled on his next carry.

Week 3 of the preseason has come and gone, so I’m here to give you one last recap. If you haven’t checked out the recaps for Week 1 and Week 2, give them a read. This week we finally got ...
