Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Chase Claypool suffers hamstring injury Wednesday
Chase Claypool suffered a hamstring injury at practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
He did not finish practice, but he did stay on the field. This doesn’t look like a severe injury, but we should know more over the next few days. He’ll look to carve a role for himself in the passing game alongside DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney, and Cole Kmet.

Garrett Wilson took handful of practice reps Thursday
Garrett Wilson (ankle) took a handful of reps in 11 on 11 drills, catching two passes and did not appear to have any issues cutting on the field.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson appears to be healing faster than expected from a low-ankle sprain. The second-year wideout was originally not expected to participate in team drills in the Jets’ joint practice with the Panthers, so this is a positive sign for fantasy managers.
Jesse Garcia
George Kittle absent from practice Thursday
George Kittle did not participate in practice Thursday due to an adductor strain.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle is expected to miss a week, per 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan. The injury should not be considered too serious with it being during the first week of the preseason. Kittle currently ranks as the TE4 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
Jesse Garcia
Miles Sanders tweaks groin in practice Wednesday
Panthers coach Frank Reich said Miles Sanders tweaked his groin in practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Sanders will not play in the Panthers first preseason game against the Jets. He added that pretty much everyone else should expect to play including QB Bryce Young, who will start. Sanders injury will be one to monitor, but Carolina is likely playing it safe with him this early in August.
