Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Mike Williams (WR – LAC)

Williams suffered a season-ending ACL tear on Sunday. Expect Josh Palmer to directly replace his snaps, but Quentin Johnston may come on strong with his likely increased role.

Waiver considerations: Josh Palmer or Quentin Johnston

Derek Carr (QB – NO)

Carr suffered an AC joint sprain during Sunday’s game while taking a sack. Due to the injury being on his throwing shoulder, it is very likely that he will miss at least next week. Trying to throw a football with an AC sprain is very painful, so monitor his practice over the next couple of weeks to gauge the severity

Waiver considerations: Jameis Winston in two QB leagues or even as a decent weekly streamer for good matchups.

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL)

Bateman is dealing with a hamstring strain that occurred towards the end of Sunday’s game and was seen limping to the locker room. He says that the strain was minor, but we have seen players who have “minor” hamstring strains miss multiple weeks. I expect he will miss at least a week but plan for the possibility of a two to three week absence as well.

Waiver considerations: OBJ if he was dropped. Nelson Agholor in deep leagues

Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)

Suffered a rib injury at the end of the game on Thursday. While I expect he will likely be healthy enough to play next week, the 49ers might be extra cautious with him due to the matchup against the 49ers.

Waiver considerations: Ray-Ray McCloud or Ronnie Bell in very deep leagues, especially if Aiyuk sits as well.
