Quarterbacks
Injury – Jaxson Dart, New York Giants (D – Concussion)
Opportunity – Russell Wilson
Dart has yet another concussion scare, this time actually landing him on the report. Concussions often mean missing at least one game, so expect Wilson to play next week. This doesn’t look like a good scenario for anyone in the Giants’ offense, and Wilson himself has very low appeal for lineups—even in deep Superflex formats. I’d avoid most Giants this week.
Running Backs
Injury – J.K. Dobbins, Denver Broncos (Q – Foot)
Opportunity – R.J. Harvey
Dobbins is seeking opinions on his foot, with early expectations pointing to a mild sprain. Although he returned to the game, swelling could push him toward the doubtful side for next week. That would put Harvey in line to see most of the work. Harvey has been excellent in a limited role, and I’d expect safe RB2 production with weekly RB1 upside if he controls this backfield—even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs.
Injury – Terrell Jennings, New England Patriots (Q – Knee)
Opportunity – TreVeyon Henderson
Jennings was named the starter this week after being elevated from the practice squad, but his day ended before halftime due to a knee injury. With this injury—and Rhamondre Stevenson’s—we need to closely monitor practice reports. If both players can’t go, Henderson becomes a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside thanks to his explosive ability and pass-catching chops. That is, unless Head Coach Mike Vrabel decides to walk the streets of New England to find some average Joe to start over Henderson next Sunday. (I’m bitter… but who isn’t at this point.)
Injury – Chris Rodriguez, Washington Commanders (D – Shoulder)
Opportunity – Bill Croskey-Merritt
Chris Rodriguez left with a shoulder injury, and I’d expect him to miss next week. That leaves Bill a chance to win back this coaching staff after a string of underwhelming starts. I view him as an RB3 who can squeeze into RB2 territory if he finds the end zone.
Receivers
Injury – Garrett Wilson, New York Jets (O – Knee)
Opportunity – Mason Taylor, Isaiah Davis, Breece Hall
Wilson aggravated his knee upon returning to action and will be out at least 3–4 weeks. Taylor profiles as the primary beneficiary and the only reliable fantasy pass catcher here; his target share should be safe for managers streaming the position. I also expect running backs Davis and Hall to see a bump in targets and an increase in rushing volume, as the Jets will certainly avoid a pass-heavy game script without their top option.
Injury – Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens (D – Ankle)
Opportunity – Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews
Bateman was injured on a hip-drop tackle and is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that likely puts him out this week—and possibly a few more. Flowers should see an uptick in target volume, but Bateman’s biggest role was in the red zone. Without him, those chances should funnel to Andrews, whom I view as a top-10 tight end thanks to increased red-zone work.
Tight Ends
Injury – Oronde Gadsden, Los Angeles Chargers (Q – Knee)
Opportunity – Keenan Allen, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston
Gadsden had been enjoying a breakout before this knee issue. It doesn’t sound major and may come down to pain tolerance. He most likely misses this week but could return next week. Slightly upgrade all Chargers wideouts.
Injury – Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills (D – Hamstring)
Opportunity – Dawson Knox
Kincaid appears to have significantly pulled his hamstring in the loss at Miami. I’d expect at least a couple of weeks on the shelf, with Knox drawing the start. Knox is a solid flier for streamers (and in best ball). Before Kincaid, Knox was a serviceable fantasy asset and a frequent red-zone option—looks like he’ll get those chances again as the Bills try to rebound from a rough divisional loss.
