Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Nick Chubb (foot) misses practice Tuesday
Nick Chubb was sidelined in practice on Tuesday due to a foot injury.
Fantasy Impact
Chubb has not been on the injury report in recent weeks, so this would appear to be a new injury. He can still have a good chance to play this weekend with a return to practice on Thursday or Friday. Otherwise, Kareem Hunt would start in the Browns backfield.

Pete Carroll said Tyler Lockett had hand surgery on Monday and the report from the surgeon was that it went “perfect.”
Fantasy Impact
Carroll said there’s a chance Lockett will only miss one game. In the meantime, Marquise Goodwin is a solid streaming option for fantasy managers this week against the Chiefs.

AJ Dillon clears concussion protocols
AJ Dillon has cleared concussion protocols on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Dillon was forced to leave Monday’s game early due to a concussion, so it is a great sign to see him clear the protocols just one day later. He found the end zone twice Monday night and finds himself in the flex conversation this week against the Dolphins.

Lamar Jackson (knee) misses practice Tuesday
Lamar Jackson did not practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson is looking to avoid missing his third straight game which was right around the initial timetable given to him. Tyler Huntley would remain the Ravens starter if Jackson misses another game.
