Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Hollywood Brown (shoulder) won’t practice Wednesday
Marquise Brown (shoulder) won’t take part in Kansas City’s practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Brown missed Kansas City’s season opener because of a shoulder injury, and he won’t practice on Wednesday for the same reason. It’s unclear when the team expects him to make his return to the field, and it could still be some time before he’s back at practice. His ongoing absence will continue to benefit Rashee Rice and rookie Xavier Worthy, who both had strong performances in Week 1.

Leo Sells

David Njoku (ankle) ruled out for Week 2
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars due to his ankle injury he suffered in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku sustained this injury in the second half of the team’s season-opening loss against the Cowboys. Expect TE Jordan Akins to step up into that starting role in Week 2.

Josh Collier

Josh Downs (ankle) limited in practice Wednesday
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Downs missed Week 1 with an ankle injury but could return in Week 2 if he can continue to progress through practice this week. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his progress as the Colts head into a Week 2 matchup with the Packers.
