Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Bucky Irving (ankle/foot) status uncertain for Week 5
The status of Bucky Irving heading into Sunday’s game against the Seahawks is uncertain.

Fantasy Impact

The Bucs are still gathering medical opinions on what’s being termed an ankle and/or foot injury for Irving. This will be a situation to monitor. Rachaad White should be rostered in all leagues.

Tyreek Hill (knee) undergoes surgery, aiming to be ready for next season
Tyreek Hill underwent successful surgery on Tuesday and is aiming to be ready for the start of next season.

Fantasy Impact

Hill only had to go through one procedure which was a positive sign given what happened in Monday’s game against the Jets. Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said “the goal is for Tyreek to be ready for the start of next season.”

Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ‘likely’ to be out Week 5
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is considered “likely to miss” the team’s Week 5 game against the Houston Texans after exiting Week 4’s contest due to a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson left the Ravens’ 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs midway through the second half. According to John Harbaugh, Jackson’s exit was entirely related to his injury and not the score of the game. For fantasy managers that roster Jackson, a backup option should be explored on the waiver wire, as Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reported he could be out for 2-3 weeks. Cooper Rush would be next in line for Baltimore; although he has experience as a backup quarterback (14 career starts), he is likely no more than a low-end QB2.
