Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Bucky Irving (toe) not seen practicing Thursday
Bucky Irving (toe) was not seen participating at Tampa Bay’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie is dealing with a toe injury that left him sidelined at practice on Wednesday. It looks like he’s going to miss another practice as well, as he was not spotted during the open portion of it on Thursday. If he’s out this week, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will both be primed for a lot of work out of the backfield for the Bucs.

T.J. Hockenson (knee) ruled questionable for Thursday
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson was listed as questionable for Week 8 on Thursday night as he aims to return from his late-season ACL tear.

Fantasy Impact

Hockenson was limited in practice on all three days. While a full participation would have been more reassuring for his status, there is a chance he will return for the Thursday night NFC contest. His situation should be monitored closely, and TE Johnny Mundt would likely continue to be the main beneficiary if Hockenson is out.

George Kittle (foot) doesn’t practice Wednesday
George Kittle (foot) did not participate at San Francisco’s practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Kittle is considered day-to-day with a foot injury right now. He was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday, but that shouldn’t be too surprising given that it’s the first practice of the week. His Week 8 status will depend on his participation at practice on Thursday and Friday.
