Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
DK Metcalf (ribs) does not practice Thursday
Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (ribs) did not participate in practice Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf could be receiving extra rest for his rib injury with the Seahawks having an extra day this week before playing on Monday. Fantasy managers will want to continue to monitor his status heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Giants.

Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) not spotted at Thursday’s practice
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) was not spotted at Thursday’s practice.
Fantasy Impact
Samuel is nursing a rib injury he suffered in Week 3 and dealing with a lingering knee issue. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status on Friday’s injury report, as his game designation should give insight on if he has a chance to suit up against Arizona.

DeVonta Smith (illness) does not practice Thursday
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (illness) did not participate in Thursday’s practice.
Fantasy Impact
Smith, along with many other Eagles’ players, reported having flu-like symptoms after Monday night’s win over Tampa Bay. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the situation, but he should be fine for the team’s Week 4 matchup against Washington.

Tony Pollard rests on Thursday, misses practice
Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard received some “planned rest,” according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the New England Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Pollard could use the rest as he currently leads the NFL in touches with 74, three more than second place (Christian McCaffrey) and 14 more than third place (Travis Etienne). Pollard will likely be good to go, as the rest was planned, but his OL is still dealing with a plethora of injuries. He has 312 scrimmage yards this season and is a top fantasy option at RB every week.
