Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Rashid Shaheed (hip) misses practice Wednesday
Rashid Shaheed (hip) was a non-participant at New Orleans’ practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Shaheed is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a hip injury that left him sidelined at Wednesday’s practice. It’s hard to tell if that was more of a precaution or if this is a real issue for him, but we should get more clarity on that in the next couple of days.

Alvin Kamara (hip/hand) doesn’t practice Wednesday
Alvin Kamara (hip/hand) did not practice with the Saints on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. He’s listed with a pair of injuries right now, and the team has no problem giving him some time off early in the week. He should play in Week 6, but it remains to be seen what his fantasy value will look like with rookie Spencer Rattler at the helm instead of Derek Carr.

David Njoku (knee/ankle) officially doesn’t practice Wednesday
David Njoku (knee/ankle) officially didn’t practice with the Browns on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku was absent from practice on Wednesday. He suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Commanders, and it’s unclear what exactly his recovery timeline looks like. Jordan Akins projects to be the starting TE for the Browns if Njoku has to miss more time moving forward.
