Fantasy Impact: Waller exited the game early in the first half with the hamstring injury. The star tight end did not receive a target before exiting the game, so the injury likely occurred while running a route. Fantasy managers should expect an update on his status Tuesday.

Baker Mayfield is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a sprained ankle. Mayfield is getting other medical opinions to determine the best course of action. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield is set to miss a few weeks which means PJ Walker is in line to get the start Sunday against the Rams. With the Panthers’ season heading in the wrong direction, it is not a guarantee that Mayfield will start when he returns based on his play over the first five weeks.
