Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

A.J. Brown (hamstring) expected to miss a couple of weeks
A.J. Brown said he is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was sidelined from Monday’s game against the Falcons and it appears he could miss another week or two. DeVonta Smith should continue to be the top target for Jalen Hurts in that span.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) set to miss a couple of weeks
San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. is slated to miss a couple of weeks with a calf strain he suffered on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The 49ers’ injuries are piling up, and Samuel, who saw 10 touches for 100 scrimmage yards in Week 2 and 13 for 77 in Week 1, is now in line to miss some time. Samuel split snaps out wide and in the backfield and is now dealing with a calf injury. Given his recent history recently with soft tissue injuries, the 49ers may proceed with caution and give him time to heal, setting the stage for RB Jordan Mason, WR Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle to lead the way in San Francisco. The Niners face the Rams and Patriots over their next two games.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) progressing in right direction
Tee Higgins (hamstring) continues to progress in the right direction in his rehab according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins has been sidelined for the first two weeks of the regular season, but according to Taylor the extra rehab time should benefit the wideout this week. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the pass-catchers status as the week continues.
