Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

C.J. Stroud (concussion) expected to be sidelined in Week 16
C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol and is likely to miss a second straight game this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Stroud has yet to return to practice. It remains to be seen if Case Keenum will get the start again or if it will be Davis Mills under center again.

Chris Olave was present at practice on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

It was just a walkthrough for the Saints. We will wait for the official injury report, but any sort of participation in practice on Tuesday is a positive sign for his status ahead of Thursday’s game against the Rams.

Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) not yet fully healed
Aaron Rodgers confirmed Tuesday he is not yet fully healed.

Fantasy Impact

There was some speculation of Rodgers returning this season after he returned to practice. He said he’d be pushing to play if he were 100 percent, but he’s not there yet. It figures to be Zach Wilson or Trevor Siemian under center the rest of this season for the Jets.
