Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Kylen Granson enters concussion protocol
Kylen Granson has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Fantasy Impact
Granson is dealing with a concussion that he presumably picked up in Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars. He has entered the league’s concussion protocols, which puts him at risk of missing Indianapolis’ game against the Browns in Week 7. If that’s the case, Andrew Ogletree will have to get more work on this offense as a result of his absence.

Ronnie Rivers (PCL sprain) expected to miss 4-5 weeks
Ronnie Rivers reportedly has a Grade 3 PCL sprain that is expected to sideline him 4-5 weeks.
Fantasy Impact
This likely means Rivers will be placed on IR. With Kyren Williams also expected to miss at least one game, it will likely be Zach Evans leading the Rams backfield next week against the Steelers.

Kyren Williams (ankle) expected to be sidelined in Week 7
Kyren Williams underwent an MRI that revealed a sprained ankle that is expected to sideline him for Sunday’s game against the Steelers
Fantasy Impact
The injury is not expected to be a long-term concern, but he will miss at least one week. With Ronnie Rivers also banged up, it could be rookie Zach Evans in line for the lead role in the Rams backfield against Pittsburgh.

Justin Fields (thumb) doubtful for Week 7
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that QB Justin Fields is doubtful to play in Week 7 due to a dislocated thumb.
Fantasy Impact
The 24-year-old had two spectacular games in Weeks 4 and 5 before the injury derailed his day in Week 6. Fantasy managers should prepare an alternate plan for Week 7, and backup QB Tyson Bagent isn’t a great idea, given his rookie status and a matchup with Las Vegas. Look to waivers for help.
