Fantasy Football Injury Round-Up
Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)
McLaurin suffered turf toe during the preseason game this weekend, which is a sprained ligament in the big toe. This is not a good injury for a WR, due to the role the big toe plays in power generation. Depending on the severity of the injury, he could return from the injury any time within 2 to 8 weeks. If he rushes back, expect a decrease in performance and increased risk for reinjury.
Concern level: moderate
Wan’Dale Robinson (WR – NYG)
I expect Robinson to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, as he will reach the important 9 month mark after ACL surgery by week 4. He might be a good late round candidate if your league has an IR spot and you believe he has a chance to be the Giants’ WR1.
Concern level: High to start on PUP
Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)
Surprisingly, Waddle still hasn’t returned to practice. It sounds like the organization wants to be cautious with him following the midsection injury. It remains to be seen whether that means working him in slowly early on in the season or just limiting him in practices for the rest of the preseason.
Concern level: low to moderate
