Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Rashod Bateman (foot) limited in Thursday’s practice

Fantasy Impact: Bateman seems to be on track to return or at least has a good chance. The Minnesota Golden Gophers product hasn’t seen the field since Oct. 2 against the Bills, and in the meantime, TE Mark Andrews has become the entire passing offense. If Bateman returns, he could eat up some of Andrews’ targets, but with Andrews missing consecutive practices, Bateman could be in for the lion’s share of touches.

Darren Waller misses second straight practice Thursday

Fantasy Impact: Coming out of a bye week, this is likely a bad sign for Waller’s status in Week 7. Waller has dealt with injuries this year, missing Week 5. He seems to be on pace to miss another week even with the Week 6 bye. If he misses time, TEs Foster Moreau and Jesper Horsted will fill his space on the depth chart.

Marquise Brown placed on injured reserve Thursday

Fantasy Impact: The move Thursday was expected considering he is expected to be out at least a month. The return of DeAndre Hopkins comes at the right time for the Cardinals. Fantasy managers should expect DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore to command the bulk of the targets.

Damien Harris (hamstring) full participant at practice

Fantasy Impact: Harris missed last week’s game because of a hamstring strain he sustained a couple weeks ago, but he appears to be doing better and fully participated at practice Thursday. Him practicing isn’t a guarantee that he plays in Monday night’s game against the Bears, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
