Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Puka Nacua considered ‘week to week’ with knee injury
Puka Nacua is considered week to week with a knee injury. It is not seen as serious.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the somewhat contradictory wording of “week to week” and “not serious” it should still raise caution with fantasy managers in draft season. It could bring his price down and make him a better bargain in drafts should he stay healthy all year, but the likelihood of Nacua missing at least a couple of games has increased nevertheless.

Xavier Legette avoids foot fracture, deemed day to day
Carolina Panthers rookie WR Xavier Legette, who left practice with a lower-body injury, avoided a foot fracture, MRI results say. His X-rays were also negative and he is considered day to day.

Fantasy Impact

These moves were largely precautionary for Carolina’s first-round receiver, and ultimately the best-case scenario came through where Legette should not miss much time. It remains to be seen if he will play in Week 1 of the preseason, but Legette should be good going forward. He is competing for snaps with WRs Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen and Jonathan Mingo, who all occupy similar roles and will likely be fighting for slot reps.

Jerry Jeudy practices in full Sunday
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy practiced in full for the first time on Sunday as he recovers from a knee injury that has limited him.

Fantasy Impact

Jeudy was traded to Cleveland in March and is now a full-go at training camp, giving him time to establish a rapport with QB Deshaun Watson before the regular season rolls around, though Watson is working through his own shoulder injury. Jeudy will be the Browns’ WR2 in 2024 behind Amari Cooper. The former Bronco has a half-PPR ADP of WR55.
