Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Brian Thomas Jr. (ribs) to undergo MRI
Brian Thomas Jr. is scheduled to undergo an MRI after leaving Sunday’s game early against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Thomas left the game early in the third quarter after a touchdown reception. There should be an update on his status following the MRI.

Deebo Samuel Sr. goes for 71 yards, suffers rib Injury in Week 8
Deebo Samuel Sr. caught four of his seven targets for 71 yards and added four carries for 15 yards in a 30-24 win over Dallas in Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

Samuel finished second on the team in receiving behind only George Kittle. That being said, the veteran receiver suffered a rib injury in the second half. Samuel will have extra time to heal as the 49ers are on bye in Week 9 before they take on the Buccaneers in Week 10.

Christian Kirk suffers broken collarbone in loss to Packers
Christian Kirk suffered a broken collarbone in the Jaguars’ 30-27 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Before exiting, he caught two of five targets for 59 yards.

Fantasy Impact

While it may not be the biggest blow to the Jaguars, with rumors circulating that they were going to trade the receiver and might have planned to be without his services soon anyway, it is a big blow for Kirk himself. He should recover from the injury well before the start of next season, but his trade value has plummeted. He is still under contract for the Jags next season, but there are potential outs the team could take, making him a free agent. Coming off of an injury as a free agent is not ideal, but that is mere speculation. For now, Kirk remains a Jaguar and will look to rebuild his value next year.
