Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Evan Engram (hamstring) officially ruled out for Sunday
Evan Engram (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Engram will be unavailable to play on Sunday. It will mark the third-straight game that he has missed due to a hamstring injury, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to return in Week 5. Brenton Strange will continue to serve as the team’s starting tight end until Engram is back in the lineup.

Nico Collins (hamstring) good to go for Week 4
Nico Collins (hamstring) has been removed from Houston’s injury report and will be good to go for Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

It was a bit concerning to see Collins get added to the injury report with a hamstring injury on Thursday, but he was able to log a full practice on Friday and carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He should be near 100% on Sunday and projects to see a lot of work with Tank Dell (chest) unavailable to play against the Jaguars.

Joe Mixon (ankle) listed questionable for Week 4
Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 4’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

An ankle injury has left Mixon sidelined for a little while now, but he was able to return to practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play in Week 4. Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the Texans, so if Mixon is unable to play, that will leave Cam Akers as the presumptive starter for the Texans once again on Sunday.
