Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) upgraded to full participation Thursday
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full participant at Miami’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

It looks like Tagovailoa is gearing up to play this week. He was able to log a full practice session on Thursday, so now all that’s left for him to do is officially clear the final step of the NFL’s concussion protocol. He’s trending towards making his return in Week 8, which will significantly help the fantasy value of players like Tyreek Hill (foot), Jaylen Waddle (quad), and De’Von Achane.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor has been sidelined for multiple weeks thanks to an ankle injury, but it looks like he’s going to make his return to the field in Week 8. He logged a full practice session on Thursday, so barring any unforeseen setbacks, he should be healthy and active for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

Dallas Goedert (hamstring) not practicing Thursday
Dallas Goedert (hamstring) is not taking part in Thursday’s practice for the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Goedert missed another practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. It’s the same issue that left him sidelined last week, and it looks like it may leave him sidelined for Week 8’s game as well. If that’s the case, Grant Calcaterra will continue to serve as Philadelphia’s primary tight end in his absence.
