Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Hunter Henry (undisclosed) likely to miss Week 1
Patriots TE Hunter Henry is likely to miss Week 1 with an undisclosed injury.
Fantasy Impact
The team has yet to provide any information on the nature of the injury, but it does not appear it would be anything that would keep the starting tight end out for a long period of time. Austin Hooper and Jaheim Bell should see increased playing time in Week 1.

Jacoby Brissett (shoulder) says shoulder is 100%
Jacoby Brissett (shoulder) has said that he feels 100% healthy.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett suffered a shoulder injury of some kind during New England’s preseason loss to the Commanders on Sunday, but he told reporters that he is 100% healthy at this point. The Patriots have yet to announce who their starting quarterback will be, but the fact that he is healthy helps the veteran’s case.

Rashid Shaheed (toe/foot) expected to play Week 1
Rashid Shaheed (toe/foot) is expected to play in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Shaheed has missed a lot of the offseason while dealing with several different injuries, but it is being reported that he should be healthy enough to play in the team’s season opener. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his practice status to see if he will be playing near 100% in a favorable matchup against the Panthers.
