Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Brian Thomas Jr. dealing with wrist injury
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is dealing with a wrist injury, according to head coach Liam Coen.

Fantasy Impact

According to Coen, Thomas was dealing with a wrist injury that may have impacted him in Week 2. It is unclear why he was not listed on the injury report if he had a wrist injury, but Thomas has had a slow start to the season and has received pushback for his effort against the Cincinnati Bengals. His situation should be monitored at practice this week, though there is no reason to expect him to miss time.

Jauan Jennings (ankle) considered day-to-day
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is considered day-to-day as he deals with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jennings was questionable heading into Week 2, but he performed admirably alongside the backup quarterback, Mac Jones. His ankle injury seems to be a new addition, but after playing as a game-time decision (shoulder) and finding success (5-89-1), fantasy managers should feel confident in Jennings this week.

J.J. McCarthy (ankle) ruled out for Week 3
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

It was stated earlier Monday that McCarthy would likely miss Sunday’s game against the Bengals, but that is now official. He is considered week-to-week and the Vikings will turn to Carson Wentz until McCarthy is able to return.
