Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Fantasy Impact: St. Brown’s status will be worth monitoring with only one more possible practice session Friday. If the wideout is able to suit up for their Week 4 home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, St. Brown should be considered a strong WR1 play.
Christian McCaffrey (quad) not practicing Thursday

Fantasy Impact: This is the second consecutive practice McCaffrey has missed after suffering a quad injury against New Orleans in Week 3. Fantasy managers should expect Chuba Hubbard and D’Onta Foreman to see additional work in Week 4 if McCaffrey is not able to suit up.
Gabe Davis (ankle) does not practice Thursday

Fantasy Impact: Davis was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday. Davis missed Week 2 with the same ankle injury, so fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on injury reports ahead of the Bills’ game against the Ravens. If Davis is not able to suit up in Week 4, Jamison Crowder and Isaiah McKenzie should see additional targets.
Michael Thomas (toe) not practicing Thursday

Fantasy Impact: Thomas was injured during the Saints’ Week 3 loss to the Panthers. The toe injury was reportedly not serious, but it has held him out of practice for the last two days. Thomas’ status is definitely in question ahead of Week 4. Fantasy managers should expect Marquez Callaway and Tre’Quan Smith to see additional targets if Thomas is forced to miss Sunday’s game against the Vikings.
