Fantasy Football Injuries to Know for Your Draft

De’Von Achane (RB – MIA)

De’Von Achane (calf) should be good for Week 1.

De’Von Achane is reportedly ready to return for Week 1, despite continuing to miss practice. While others have been scared off by this calf injury, worried that it could lead to an Achilles issue like Christian McCaffrey last season, I’ve been buying the dip. You’re getting a player with overall RB1 upside in the mid-to-late second round. Don’t pass this up.

Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL)

Darnell Mooney (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday.

One of the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL is back at practice, making it look likely that Week 1 is in play. Darnell Mooney is a great buy late in drafts, as he’s the classic “boring veteran” that your leaguemates tend to avoid. Take him at the end of your draft for a dependable No. 2 wideout to round out your WR room.

A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)

A.J. Brown (hamstring) back at practice on Thursday.

Like teammate DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown was never a concern to miss time, but it’s comforting that he’s back at practice. This is a high-floor wideout with a high weekly upside, especially if the Eagles pass the ball more this year, which is expected. If you want a safe second-round pick, Brown is your guy.

Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA)

Jaylen Wright (leg) out for several weeks.

Jaylen Wright is going to miss a few weeks of the season after undergoing a procedure to address his leg injury. I already had Ollie Gordon ahead of Wright as the Dolphins RB2, but this injury just cements that status. Draft Gordon as an elite RB handcuff with some standalone value. Don’t be surprised if he takes away goal line carries from De’Von Achane.
