Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) limited in practice Wednesday
Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) was limited in practice for the Dolphins on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson made his return to practice on Wednesday after being out for several weeks while on IR. He was able to log a limited practice, which gives him a chance to play in Week 6. He’ll be primed to playa significant role whenever he’s back with star rookie RB De’Von Achane (knee) now on IR and set to miss at least four games.

Saquon Barkley (ankle) logs limited practice Wednesday
Saquon Barkley (ankle) logged a limited practice session for the Giants on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Barkley has been out since Week 2 because of a high-ankle sprain, but he was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday. There’s some optimism that he will be able to make his return this week, and his practice status backs that up. We’ll know more about his official status later in the week and he’ll return to being a must-start fantasy option if active for Week 6.

Jordan Addison (ankle) limited at practice Wednesday
Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited at Minnesota’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Vikings included Addison on Wednesday’s practice report because of a new ankle injury that he’s nursing. He was limited because of it, and while it doesn’t seem serious, it is a little bit concerning given that we don’t know much about it. He’s supposed to play a much bigger role with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) now on IR, so Minnesota will need the rookie to be fully healthy by game time on Sunday, or else they may have some problems.

Davante Adams (shoulder) doesn’t practice Wednesday
Davante Adams (shoulder) did not participate at Las Vegas’ practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Adams has been dealing with a lingering shoulder injury that has left him on the injury report for a couple of weeks now. It seemed to have bothered him a bit in Week 5, but hopefully he can get fully healthy before the team’s matchup against New England on Sunday. He hasn’t had to miss a game because of it and will likely play through it if it’s still bothering him going into the weekend.
