Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) won’t play Sunday
Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) won’t play in Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Freiermuth suffered a mild hamstring strain during Week 4’s loss to the Texans and has been ruled out for Week 5 because of it. The team has a bye next week, so it seems like the team is looking at a possible return for him in Week 7. Until then, rookie Darnell Washington will have an opportunity to get more work in his absence.

Miles Sanders (groin) off injury report for Week 5
Miles Sanders (groin) practiced in full on Friday and is off the injury report for Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
Sanders was limited in practice earlier this week because of a lingering groin issue, but he was able to log a full practice on Friday and is heading into the weekend without an injury designation. He is good to go against the Lions but doesn’t project to be much more than a flex option in Week 5.

Cooper Kupp will play Sunday, per HC Sean McVay
Rams WR Cooper Kupp will make his regular season debut on Sunday, per head coach Sean McVay.
Fantasy Impact
While it was rumored this morning that Kupp would likely return, McVay has made it official. The veteran wide receiver has missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. Kupp will likely be used in a limited role as he returns to game action, but should return to his regular fantasy output soon barring any setbacks.

Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) listed questionable for Week 5
Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson was a surprise addition to the injury report this week and is now questionable because of a thigh injury. We haven’t gotten many details on the severity of it, and it does seem like there’s a real shot that he doesn’t play. The team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time, and Ezekiel Elliott will be primed to get the bulk of the work in this backfield if Stevenson is unable to play.
