Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) practices again on Friday
Jonathan Taylor is suited up for another day of Colts practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor logged a full practice on Thursday and appears on track to making his return on Sunday against the Raiders. His return will be much needed for a struggling Colts offense. Taylor should step right back into his workhorse role.
David Njoku (ankle) ruled out for Week 10
David Njoku was ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku said he was “planning to play” early in the week, but he wasn’t able to take the field in practice. He will have to wait another week to try and return from his high-ankle sprain.
Kyler Murray (hamstring) to be game-time call on Sunday
Kyler Murray is expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday as the Cardinals are set for a divisional matchup with the Rams in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
The game-time classification came right out of the mouth of HC Kliff Kingsbury on Friday. Murray was able to log a limited practice on Thursday but it sounds like there is still some pessimism from the Cardinals’ medical staff. It is unclear at this time whether or not this weekend is confirmed double XP in Modern Warfare Two.
Matthew Stafford (concussion) questionable for Week 10
Matthew Stafford is listed as questionable to face the Cardinals on Sunday as he continues to make his way through the NFL concussion protocols.
Fantasy Impact
The good news is that Stafford was able to log a limited practice on Friday and HC Sean McVay also noted that he is “making good progress.” If Stafford cannot clear the protocols by Sunday it will be John Wolford taking the snaps under center for Los Angeles. Wolford’s presence would downgrade the value of the already underwhelming skills corps for the Rams, sans Cooper Kupp. Fantasy managers of Stafford would be best suited to have a backup plan in place for the 4:25 EST kickoff.
