Fantasy Football Injury Outlook: Jimmy Garoppolo, Treylon Burks, Miles Sanders (Week 4)

Welcome to Week 4. As always, don’t forget to check sportsmedanalytics.com for your injury updates throughout the week, and hit us up on Twitter/X @FantasyPros and @SportMDAnalysis.

Now, here we go. Here’s my outlook for all notable injuries for Week 4. And below we dive into a few different players.

Week 4 Fantasy Football Injury Report

Treylon Burks (WR – TEN)

Wrapping pattern and comments suggest a mild knee sprain. These average 2 weeks, but it’s unclear when the injury actually occurred. We’d lean towards a Week 5-6 return pending practice progression. Coach Vrabel said this wasn’t a re-aggravation of his prior LCL sprain, but it’s still not great news to have another sprain on the same knee. Expect performance dips for the first ~3 games back.

Miles Sanders (RB – CAR)

TBD. Lean towards sitting. While comments suggest optimism, RBs with this injury profile and practice progression would sit in 75% of cases. If active, expect limited workload and high risk of re-injury, especially since this groin issue has been bothering him since the pre-season.

Jimmy Garoppolo (QB – LV)

TBD. Still has a chance to play, but ~2/3 of players would not clear in time for Week 4. Very likely returning Week 5 with low performance impact.
