Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) to continue to be monitored
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said the team is continuing to monitor Brian Robinson’s knee after Sunday’s win over the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Robinson scored twice at the goal line, but only saw seven carries after he was a game-time decision. Those all came in the first half. His status will be worth monitoring at practice throughout the week.

Joe Mixon (ankle) status up in the air for Week 6
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said the team is “not sure” if Joe Mixon will be available against the Patriots in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact

It appears that Mixon may have suffered a setback when he returned to practice on Friday two weeks ago. Ryans added that Mixon is “definitely improving” and they’ll see where he is as the week goes on. If he remains sidelined, Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers will continue to split the snaps.

DeVonta Smith (concussion) expected to return in Week 6
DeVonta Smith is expected to return on Sunday against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Smith and A.J. Brown are both expected to return out of the Eagles bye. Dallas Goedert will likely see fewer targets as a result.
