Fantasy Impact: It’s a tough blow to the Saints, who were hopeful to have their full complement of weapons to start the year. The timeline puts Tyson returning near the middle of October, and expect a ramp-up period for him once he returns. For those who haven’t drafted yet, expect his ADP to fall dramatically as he will be unusable foe the first several weeks of the season, if not longer.

Fantasy Impact: McMillan suffered a knee injury earlier in training camp, but he seems to be nearing a return to the field, as HC Todd Bowles said that he is considered day-to-day moving forward. Fantasy managers should expect him to be fully healthy by the time Week 1 rolls around.
