Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Joe Mixon remained absent from practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

It was reported on Wednesday that Mixon remained “hopeful” to play on Sunday. Dameon Pierce also remained absent from practice. Cam Akers would be the next man up if both Mixon and Pierce are sidelined.

Evan Engram (hamstring) officially doesn’t practice Thursday
Evan Engram (hamstring) was officially a non-participant at practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

There were reports earlier that Engram is more of a long shot to play in Monday’s game, and his practice status on Thursday backs that up. He wasn’t able to participate at all, and unless he returns within the next couple of days, it looks like he may sit out against the Bills. If that’s the case, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. will be primed to get more work in his absence.

David Njoku (ankle) not practicing Thursday
David Njoku (ankle) is not participating at Cleveland’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

To no surprise, Njoku missed another practice on Thursday. He is still working on recovering from an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 1, but he’ll still need some more time before he’s ready to take the field in a meaningful capacity. He likely won’t play in Week 3, and Jordan Akins should continue to serve as the team’s top tight end in his absence.
