Fantasy Football Injuries to Know for Your Draft
Jauan Jennings (WR – SF)
Jauan Jennings (calf) missed practice on Thursday.
Jauan Jennings still hasn’t returned to practice as he deals with a calf issue. Add in a contract dispute, and it looks like Jennings’ status is in serious doubt for Week 1. This puts Ricky Pearsall in a terrific position to get peppered with targets, at least for the early part of the season. I’d avoid Jennings in drafts unless he fell significantly past ADP.
Chris Godwin (WR – TB)
Chris Godwin (ankle) targeting Week 5 for return.
Chris Godwin is aiming to return to the lineup in Week 5. However, it’s important to note that even when he returns, it’s likely that it will take him a couple of weeks to get back up to speed. Rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka continues to fly up draft boards, and for good reason. Pay the premium on Egbuka, who looks poised to hit the ground running.
DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)
DeVonta Smith (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday.
DeVonta Smith’s status never appeared to be in doubt for Week 1, but it’s reassuring to see him back at practice. The Eagles’ No. 2 target is one of the most undervalued targets in fantasy football this season. Expect the Eagles to have to pass a bit more this year due to the tougher schedule.
Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)
Tyreek Hill (oblique) on track for Week 1.
Tyreek Hill is going to be ready for Week 1, but he’s missed a couple of weeks of practice with an oblique injury. This is a wideout that showed serious signs of decline last season. It also doesn’t help that Hill has seemed to fall out of favor in Miami. Add these two factors together, and this is one of my biggest fades this season.
