Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kenny Pickett (ankle) to undergo surgery Monday
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett will undergo surgery Monday on his injured ankle, but the team is not expected to place him on IR.

Fantasy Impact

Pickett has been dealing with an injured ankle and he re-aggravated the injury on Sunday. The team is hopeful that he will be able to return in Week 18 against Baltimore, but that will depend on how he heals and is able to rehab from the surgery. Mitch Trubisky will likely start for the team while Pickett is out, with Mason Rudolph elevated to the backup role.

Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) could miss multiple games
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson will undergo an MRI on his injured ankle and could miss multiple weeks.

Fantasy Impact

The belief is that the MRI will show a sprain that could cause Stevenson to miss multiple weeks. This would be a big blow for a Patriots’ offense looking for ways to score and are struggling to find anyone to make plays consistently. With the Patriots playing on Thursday, fantasy managers should expect Ezekiel Elliott to take over as the lead back against the Steelers should Stevenson be forced to miss Week 14.

Amari Cooper ruled out with head injury
Amari Cooper has been ruled out for the rest of Cleveland’s Week 13 game against Los Angeles with a head injury.

Fantasy Impact

The injury was initially thought to be related to his ribs. Cooper had three receptions for 34 yards before exiting. Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman, and David Bell will be the top three wideouts going forward.

Dell was injured when blocking near the goal line on a running play and had to be carted off the field. The 24-year-old’s season is over as he will be placed on injured reserve.
