Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) limited in Thursday’s practice

Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) was limited in Miami’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson’s 21-day practice window is officially underway after the team designated him to return from IR earlier this week. He’s been limited all week so far, and we haven’t got any indication on whether or not he’s planning on playing on Sunday. If he’s active, he likely won’t play a big role and isn’t worth starting in his first game back.

Austin Ekeler (ankle) practices in full Thursday

Austin Ekeler (ankle) was a full participant in Los Angeles’ practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Ekeler has been out for several weeks while nursing an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 1, but he was able to log his first full practice since then on Thursday. He previously said that he’s ‘99% sure’ that he’ll play on Monday night, so everything is looking good for his availability. The star RB should be active and is a must-start fantasy option for Week 6 and beyond.

Davante Adams (shoulder) returns to practice Thursday

Davante Adams (shoulder) returned to practice and participated in a limited fashion on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran didn’t practice on Wednesday because of a lingering shoulder injury that has been bothering him for close to two weeks, but he was back and participating at practice on Thursday. That’s a good sign for his availability for this week, but he was likely to play through it either way, as he’s done the past two weeks. He’ll have an opportunity to bounce back this week if he’s fully healthy for Week 6 against the New England Patriots.

Deshaun Watson (shoulder) not expected to play Week 6

Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Watson hasn’t been able to practice this week because of a shoulder injury that’s been bothering him for multiple weeks. Now, it’s being reported that he is not expected to play in Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. We’ll get an official update on his status closer to game time, but if this is true, PJ Walker will be in line to start for the Browns, which will negatively affect the fantasy value of Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore in a major way.
