Jerome Ford (hamstring) considered week-to-week

Jerome Ford is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

Ford suffered the right hamstring injury during Monday’s practice. The 23-year-old was in line for a significant role in the Brown’s offense with the departure of Kareem Hunt. Fantasy managers should expect John Kelly, Demetric Felton, and Hassan Hall to see more opportunities in training camp.

Kenneth Walker groin injury not believed to be serious

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Kenneth Walker hasn’t practiced since the first day of camp, but his injury is not considered serious.

Fantasy Impact

Carroll added that Walker is running at full speed in a straight line and the next step will be cutting in the next couple of days. If Walker can return to full strength by the middle of August, he should still be in line to be the clear lead back heading into Week 1. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet figures to be seeing more of the first-team reps in his absence.

Jaylen Waddle heads to locker room at joint practice Wednesday

According to Dave Richard of CBS Sports HQ, Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle went to the locker room with trainers after taking a shot to the ribs and being slow to get up in a joint practice with the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

In his first two seasons in the NFL, Waddle has been one of the most productive WRs across the league. He has 179 career catches for 2,371 yards and 14 touchdowns. Waddle has also shown an ability to be versatile, playing as a WR1 as a rookie with an average depth of target of 7.1 yards and playing as a WR2 as a sophomore averaging more than 18 yards per reception. Waddle’s health is important to the success of Miami’s potent offense and his status should continue to be monitored.
