Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Isiah Pacheco (fibula) to miss six-to-eight weeks
Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks according to Jeremy Fowler.
Fantasy Impact
Pacheco suffered the injury in Kansas City’s 26-25 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. The running back expects to return before the regular season ends according to Fowler. In the meantime, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are expected to split carries out of the backfield, with Perine seeing plenty of third-down work as well.

Cooper Kupp (ankle) could land on injured reserve
Cooper Kupp (ankle) will miss an ‘extended period of time’ and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, according to HC Sean McVay.
Fantasy Impact
Kupp suffered an ankle injury during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Cardinals, and it looks like it is a mildly serious injury at the very least. According to HC Sean McVay, he’s expected to miss a significant period of time and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, which would knock him out for at least the next four weeks. The Rams will already be without Puka Nacua (knee) for the foreseeable future, so players like Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Whittington will be thrust into much bigger roles in the coming weeks. Kupp’s injury also leaves Kyren Williams as the offense’s primary playmaker, so fantasy managers should expect him to see a lot of work for the foreseeable future.
