Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) targeting Week 8 return
Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to return to practice this week with the expectation of returning to start at quarterback in Week 8 for the Miami Dolphins according to Dianna Russini.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa will hope to clear any remaining obstacles in practice this upcoming week for a Miami offense that has struggled mightily without the dynamic signal-caller behind center. Tagovailoa’s return immediately boosts the value of pass-catchers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Week 8.

Kenneth Walker III (illness) downgraded to questionable
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III has been added to the team’s injury report due to an illness and is now listed as questionable.
Fantasy Impact
In the event that Walker is unable to play in Sunday’s matchup vs. the Falcons, expect RB Zach Charbonnet to get the start and see a heavy workload.

Mason Rudolph to start in Week 7 vs. Buffalo
Tennessee Titans QB Mason Rudolph is starting in Week 7 versus the Buffalo Bills while Will Levis (shoulder) continues to work through his injury.
Fantasy Impact
It seems as though Levis (who injured his shoulder in Week 4) returned too early. He had a Week 5 bye and then played in Week 6, though he struggled and did not clear 100 passing yards. Rudolph led the Titans to a Week 5 win over Miami in Levis’ relief, and while Buffalo is a taller task, he could potentially bring a more consistent presence under center over the wild-card, Year 2 Levis. He’s still a low-end QB2 in Superflex leagues.
