Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Javonte Williams (knee) not being limited with reps in camp
Javonte Williams has taken the majority of reps so far in Broncos training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Williams noted it has been the coaching staff that has wanted to hold him back, but he hasn’t been limited so far according to reports after being cleared to practice in pads. Williams also mentioned he will get the day off on Wednesday as players returning from ACL injuries practice two days in full pads and get the third day off. It is always tough with running backs coming off torn ACLs as Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles are the only running backs to post huge seasons the year after in recent history. With that being said, Williams seems to be ahead of schedule in his recovery and could be close to full strength by Week 1.

Cooper Kupp suffers a hamstring injury Tuesday
Cooper Kupp reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
It is never great when any player suffers a hamstring injury. Kupp was able to walk off the field with medical staff during Tuesday’s practice, but the team was not currently able to share a timetable for his return. It is safe to say the Rams will be super cautious with Kupp and not rush him back, especially this early in training camp. For now, Kupp’s status for Week 1 should not be in danger but that could change if he is still impacted by the hamstring injury in the next couple of weeks.

Alexander Mattison didn’t finish practice with apparent injury
According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN, Minnesota Vikings RB Alexander Mattison got off the practice field early and watched the remainder of practice before entering the locker room. Some reports suggest he limped with an apparent leg injury.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison is expected to be the Vikings’ featured back in 2023 after the team cut long-time starter Dalvin Cook this offseason. Mattison has shown an ability to be a starting back in short stints: in six career starts, he averages 79.5 yards per game on 4.1 yards per carry for 0.5 a touchdown. The hope is that he can be healthy enough for a full season’s workload. His increased role has given him a half-PPR average draft price of RB23.
