Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Nick Chubb (knee) limited again Thursday
Nick Chubb (knee) was limited at practice again on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb is currently in the process of ramping up to return from a serious knee injury that he suffered last season. He has been limited at each of his first two practices back, and the team is trying to take it slow with his recovery to ensure he doesn’t suffer a setback. It looks like he’s more likely to sit out this week than play, but he should be back out on the field at some point in the next few weeks.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) returns to practice Thursday
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) returned to practice as a limited participant on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards-Helaire has been sidelined for the first four weeks of the season while on the NFI list, but the team has officially opened his 21-day practice window and he took part in Thursday’s practice as a limited participant. It remains to be seen if he plays in Monday’s game, and he will have a real chance to be fantasy relevant with Isiah Pacheco (leg) and Rashee Rice (knee) both on IR for the Chiefs.

Tank Dell (chest) officially limited Thursday
Tank Dell (chest) was officially limited at practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Dell has been able to participate in both of Houston’s practices so far this week. He has been limited in both of them, but it still appears that he’s trending the right way for Sunday’s game. We’ll know more about his official status for Week 5 following Friday’s practice.
