Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Aaron Jones (hamstring) questionable for Week 3 vs New Orleans
Aaron Jones, who suffered a hamstring injury during the Packers’ Week 1 victory over Chicago and missed Week 2, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Jones logged a limited practice session Thursday, indicating a realistic chance the veteran could return in Week 3, but he is officially listed as questionable. If Jones does miss the game, A.J. Dillon should be in line for a second consecutive start. Jones had a very strong start to the season in Week 1, scoring a couple of TDs before getting hurt, and if he can return to play Sunday he will look to build on that momentum.
Sammy Schulman
Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) listed as questionable for Week 3
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) is listed as questionable for Week 3.
Fantasy Impact
St. Brown has upgraded his participation level in each practice session this week. All signs point to St. Brown playing, which would make him a must-start fantasy option against Atlanta.
Jesse Garcia
Jamaal Williams out for Week 3 versus Packers
New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is out for the Week 3 matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Williams did not practice at all this week and will not play as expected. RB Kendre Miller logged three full practices and carries no designation into the contest, as does TE Taysom Hill. Miller, Hill and Tony Jones Jr. should shoulder the rushing attempts against a talented Packers front in Week 3, and RB Alvin Kamara should return for Week 4.
Jordan Epp
Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday
Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Pacheco was able to log a limited practice session on Thursday and Friday but will still go into the weekend with an injury designation. The team will likely make an official decision on his status closer to kickoff, but he seems to be trending towards playing. In the off-chance that he’s out, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon would both see more touches in his absence.
