Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Nick Chubb (knee) logs full practice Wednesday
Nick Chubb (knee) logged a full practice session on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb hasn’t seen in-game action for well over a year due to a knee injury, but he is reportedly expected to make his return for Week 7. That’s backed up by the fact that he was a full participant at Cleveland’s first practice of the week on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in his first game back until we know how explosive he looks following his serious injury.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Taylor was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. He’s dealing with an ankle injury right now, and it’s quite possible that he will be sidelined again in Week 7. This is a situation worth monitoring throughout the week for fantasy managers.

De’Von Achane (concussion) practices in full Wednesday
De’Von Achane (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Achane was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. He suffered a concussion a couple of weeks ago, but it seems like the bye week was all that he needed to get healthy. He should play in Week 7 but will have limited fantasy value with Tyler Huntley still starting at quarterback for the Dolphins.
