Fantasy Football Injury Outlook: Cooper Kupp, Isiah Pacheco, Miles Sanders, Mike Gesicki

Another week of preseason is complete and it was another week where most of the big name players continue to stay healthy. Here are the most fantasy relevant injuries for the week and some updates from previous injuries. With most drafts happening soon, it’s important to stay up to date on injuries in the coming weeks.

Fantasy Football Injury Round-Up

Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR)

Kupp returned to practice this week, leading me to further believe he only had a Grade 1 hamstring strain with which they were being cautious. Because of that, the reinjury risk is significantly lower than with someone who rushes back.

Concern level: low

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)

Pacheco is fully cleared for contact, so I am expecting him to be good to go for Week 1.

Concern level: low

Miles Sanders (RB – CAR)

Sanders returned to practice from the groin injury. Expect him to ramp up and be ready for Week 1.

Concern level: low

Mike Gesicki (TE – NE)

Gesicki has returned to practice in a non-contact jersey, which is a good sign and means his dislocation is likely very mild, so I anticipate him to play Week 1

Concern level: low
