Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) could play Week 4
Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) has a real chance at suiting up in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact

John Lynch told media on Friday that Samuel has a real chance of playing in Week 4. He was out last week due to a calf injury, and the team is planning on making a determination for him depending on how Friday’s practice goes. If he’s active, that will mean a lot less work for Jauan Jennings moving forward.

Johnson sustained some kind of a groin injury this week and is questionable to play in Week 4. He was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but reports seem to indicate that he is more likely to play than sit out. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on his status heading into the weekend.

Collins was added to the injury report on Thursday because of a hamstring injury, but he was still able to practice on Friday and is reportedly trending towards playing on Sunday. It remains to be seen what his official status will be, but this is good news for the NFL’s current leader in receiving yards.
