Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
DK Metcalf finds the end zone in Week 7
DK Metcalf caught four of his seven targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in a 34-14 win over the Falcons in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf got off to a hot start as he did all of his damage in the first half. He did provide a scare for Seahawks fans as he banged up his knee during the second half and had to be carted to the locker room. It appears that he avoided serious injury, however, as head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after the game that Metcalf’s knee injury was not very bad. He might miss some practice time this week ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Bills but, for now, it doesn’t appear he’s in danger of missing that game.

Jayden Daniels rushes for 50 yards before injury
Jayden Daniels completed both of his passes for 6 yards and ran for 50 yards on three carries before suffering a rib injury in Washington’s blowout win over Carolina on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
If nothing else, his rushing stats helped save what would have otherwise been a goose egg for fantasy managers who started him. Hopefully, Daniels’ injury is just a minor one and he can return to action soon.
Garrett Ball
Deshaun Watson believed to have suffered season-ending injury
Browns QB Deshaun Watson is believed to have suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.
Fantasy Impact
Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Watson will undergo more tests to confirm. Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Jamies Winston would likely compete to replace Watson for the remainder of the season.
