Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Joe Mixon (concussion) returns to practice Wednesday
Joe Mixon returned to practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Mixon appears on track to returning on Sunday against the Chiefs. He will still have to fully clear concussion protocol though, which will be worth monitoring the rest of the week.
J.K. Dobbins (knee) returns to practice Wednesday
J.K. Dobbins returned to practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Once Dobbins returns to the field, it’ll only make the Ravens backfield more crowded and tough to trust on a week-to-week basis. Gus Edwards led the Ravens backfield last week seeing 16 carries.
Jerry Jeudy (ankle) sidelined at practice Wednesday
Jerry Jeudy did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Jeudy has missed the last two games after he was carted off the field in Week 10. It sounds like he is a long shot to return to the field this weekend.
Jaylen Warren (hamstring) expected to return in Week 13
Steelers’ RB Jaylen Warren told reporters that doctors have cleared him to return from his hamstring injury and he expects to be able to play Sunday against the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Warren was the No. 2 running back in the Steelers backfield prior to his injury and now with Najee Harris banged up, he has a chance to lead the backfield against Atlanta. It’ll likely still be some sort of committee as well though with Benny Snell.
