Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

George Kittle (hamstring) trending towards playing Sunday
George Kittle (hamstring) is trending towards playing in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Kittle is on the injury report because of a hamstring issue, but he seems to be trending towards playing in Sunday’s game. He told reporters that he’s ‘feeling fantastic’ and ‘very excited to play football’, which means that it is likely that he’ll be active against the Patriots. His return to the lineup would mean less work for Jauan Jennings moving forward, who had a huge performance in Week 3.

Trey McBride (concussion) ruled out for Sunday
Cardinals TE Trey McBride, who has not practiced all week because he’s been in concussion protocol, will not make an appearance in Sunday’s game against the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

Tough blow for the Arizona offense as they lose one of their top targets. Expect TE Elijah Higgins to see a large increase in snaps this week.

Josh Collier

Evan Engram (hamstring) not likely to play Week 4
Evan Engram (hamstring) is not likely to play in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Engram seems likely to miss his third-straight game because of a hamstring injury on Sunday. Doug Pederson implied that the team will be without him again in Week 4 but noted that ‘next week looks promising.’ Fantasy managers should be prepared for him to sit out for at least this week.

David Njoku (ankle) ruled out for Sunday
David Njoku (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku will miss his third-straight game on Sunday due to an ankle injury. He was able to return to practice for the Browns this week, but he didn’t get quite enough time to fully recover yet. He will have a real shot at playing in Week 5 against the Commanders.
