Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Christian McCaffrey (oblique/ribs) to undergo MRI
Christian McCaffrey (oblique/ribs) is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity of his injury.
Fantasy Impact
McCaffrey left Sunday’s game early because of an injury to his oblique and wasn’t able to return to the game. He’s now undergoing an MRI to determine the severity of his injury and to determine if he’ll have to miss any time. We should know more in the coming days, and fantasy managers can look for Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason to both get more work if the star RB is out this week against the Vikings.

Dalton Kincaid remains in concussion protocol Monday
Dalton Kincaid is still in the NFL’s concussion protocols on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Kincaid was sidelined for Sunday night’s game thanks to a concussion, and HC Sean McDermott told reporters that he still hasn’t been cleared on Monday. He should return to practice any day now, but there is a very slight chance that the rookie could miss some practice this week while still in the protocols. It would be a surprise if his Week 7 status was in jeopardy, but fantasy managers should still continue to monitor his status in the coming days.

Josh Allen (shoulder) considered day-to-day
Josh Allen is considered day-to-day for right now with a shoulder injury.
Fantasy Impact
Allen is dealing with soreness in his right shoulder and is considered day-to-day for right now, according to HC Sean McDermott. It’s not thought to be a serious issue, and there’s little concern for his Week 7 availability. He should play this week and will have an opportunity to bounce back against a lowly Patriots’ team on Sunday.

Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) trending towards playing Week 7
Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) is trending towards playing in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Gibbs has been out for multiple consecutive weeks thanks to a hamstring injury, but HC Dan Campbell is now telling reporters that he’s trending in the right direction for Sunday’s game. This comes at a good time for the Lions, with David Montgomery (ribs) expected to miss a bit of time. If he plays, he should be in line for a larger workload than usual and could actually be a solid flex option if fully healthy against the Ravens.
