Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Running Back
Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)
Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury in the Giants’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. While I may not be a doctor, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that his season is over.
In his place will be Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. If either is available in your league, they’re a must-add off the waiver wire this week.
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
Quinshon Judkins was ruled out during the Browns’ 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots with a shoulder injury. This will certainly be something to monitor. If he misses time, the next man up appears to be Dylan Sampson, as he handled 16.5% of the running back carries, which is ahead of Jerome Ford‘s 12.4%.
Still, a timeshare could also be in order.
Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI)
Saquon Barkley missed the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ win over the Giants with a groin injury. Barkley said he’d be fine, as he’s dealt with this before, but groin injuries are always something to be wary of.
Looking toward Tank Bigsby could be a solid idea, but keep in mind the Eagles have a Week 9 bye.
Wide Receiver
Luther Burden III (WR – CHI)
Luther Burden III left the Bears’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a concussion. He’s seen just 15 targets this season, so he’s likely not someone you have on your roster.
Braxton Berrios (WR – HOU)
Braxton Berrios suffered a chest injury in the Texans’ win over the San Francisco 49ers. He’s a non-factor in fantasy football, though.
D’Wayne Eskridge (WR – MIA)
D’Wayne Eskridge was ruled out during the Dolphins’ win over the Atlanta Falcons with a shoulder injury. He’s also a non-factor in fantasy football.
Tight End
Daniel Bellinger (TE – NYG)
Daniel Bellinger left the Giants’ loss early with a neck injury. He drew five targets over the last two weeks and had over 100 yards and a touchdown.
However, even when he’s on the field, Bellinger is an unreliable tight end to roster.
