Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Darren Waller (groin) limited at practice Thursday

Darren Waller (groin) was limited at New York’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Waller wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday thanks to a new groin injury, but he was back at practice on Thursday and participated in a limited fashion. He’s day-to-day for now, but he appears to be trending towards playing in Week 6. Fantasy managers should continue to pay attention to his status heading into the weekend to see if there’s any developments with his injury.

Zay Jones (knee) doesn’t practice Thursday

Zay Jones (knee) did not practice for the Jaguars on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Thursday marks the second-straight practice that Jones has missed because of a knee injury. It’s been bothering him for weeks now, and he seems to be trending towards missing Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. If that’s the case, Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk should both get more work as a result of his absence in Week 6.

Chris Olave (toe) upgraded to full participation Thursday

Chris Olave (toe) was upgraded to a full participant at New Orleans’ practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Olave was added to the injury report this week and was limited on Wednesday because of a toe injury, but it isn’t a serious issue and he was able to practice in full on Thursday. He should be good to go for Sunday’s game and projects to be a high-end WR2 option in a favorable matchup against the Texans.

Tank Dell (concussion) doesn’t practice Thursday

Tank Dell (concussion) did not practice for the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie is in the NFL’s concussion protocols and has not been able to practice all week. His outlook for Week 6 is promising and he will likely be ruled out prior to game time. If that’s the case, Nico Collins and John Metchie III will both be in line for more work in his absence.
