Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA)

Kenneth Walker suffered an oblique strain in Sunday’s game, which is similar to what Christian McCaffrey had a few weeks ago. If he can go depends largely on the severity. As we saw, McCaffrey was able to play through his injury. Still, the severity of Walker’s injury remains to be seen. From the way Pete Carroll is talking about it, I would expect him to miss at least the Thanksgiving game, which makes Zach Charbonnet a great add.

Waiver consideration: Zach Charbonnet

Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR)

Cooper Kupp suffered a low ankle sprain on Sunday and is considered “day to day.” Depending on the severity of a low ankle sprain, most commonly, we see players miss between zero and two weeks. Based on the way the injury is being talked about, it sounds like it’s on the milder side and I expect Kupp to suit up this week. If he doesn’t play, Puka Nacua will benefit the most, and possibly Tyler Higbee if you’re struggling at TE.

Waiver consideration: Tyler Higbee

Puka Nacua (WR – LAR)

Speaking of Nacua, he also suffered an injury in Sunday’s game. McVay said the rookie will also be day-to-day, and he will likely be OK for next week. Although it’s hard to say until a diagnosis is given. In any case, Higbee is probably the best bet for any Rams waiver pickups.

Waiver consideration: Tyler Higbee
