Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Tee Higgins (concussion) making ‘good progress’

Fantasy Impact: Higgins will participate in individual drills on Wednesday. He will have a couple more days to clear concussion protocol. Tyler Boyd and potentially Hayden Hurst see a boost in value if Higgins is sidelined on Sunday.
Michael Gallup (knee) unlikely to play in Week 2

Fantasy Impact: McCarthy said the hope is Gallup can go from doing individual drills last week to some “group stuff,” this week. Nonetheless, his fantasy upside takes a huge hit alongside the rest of the offense with Dak Prescott sidelined.

Fantasy Impact: It isn’t exactly clear when when the injury happened, but Evans was seen Wednesday with his lower left leg taped. His status will need to be monitored on Thursday and Friday, but it doesn’t sound like his status is in too much danger for this weekend.
J.K. Dobbins (ACL) elaborates on knee injury, hopes to play Week 2
J.K. Dobbins talked about his rehab and how ready he is to get back on the field. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday after being listed as limited all of last week. (Source: CBSNews.com)
Fantasy Impact: “It wasn’t just a regular ACL, it was pretty bad,” Dobbins said. “It was ACL, LCL, hamstring, meniscus. So it was tough — tough to get back to where I am right now.” Dobbins practiced Wednesday and appears on track to potentially being able to play this weekend, but the Ravens will continue to ease him back when he does return. Fantasy managers should be very cautious about relying on Dobbins upon his immediate return.
