Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Tee Higgins (hamstring) not at practice Friday
Tee Higgins was not suited up for practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Higgins is likely to miss a second straight game to open up the season. Joe Burrow will remain a bit more risky of a play for fantasy managers as we saw the Bengals offense struggle in Week 1 to open the season against New England. Andrei Iosivas didn’t offer much to open the season, but he could be worth consideration in deeper leagues again this week.

Hollywood Brown (shoulder) to be placed on IR
The Chiefs are placing WR Marquise Brown on IR, and he will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated SC joint.
Fantasy Impact
It was revealed that the injury for Brown was not healing correctly. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Monday. The Chiefs passing offense should continue to mostly run through Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.

Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) to be out indefinitely
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be out for an indefinite period of time and has no timeline for his recovery.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion on Thursday night and has been placed in the NFL’s concussion protocols. He has a history of head injuries throughout his playing career, and HC Mike McDaniel noted that they care more about his actual health, rather than if or when he will be able to return to the football field. Skylar Thompson is set to be the starter for the foreseeable future, and Tagovailoa’s absence significantly harms the fantasy value of players like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De’Von Achane.
