Fantasy Impact:

Barkley is out on Thursday after injuring his ankle during Sunday's comeback win over the Cardinals, but he's now telling reporters that he's dealing with a high-ankle sprain rather than a low-ankle sprain. This is noteworthy because the former is a much tougher injury to rehab from than the latter, meaning his recovery may take longer than initially expected and he may have a higher risk of re-injury. This news is less than ideal for fantasy managers of the stud RB and for QB Daniel Jones, who will now have to turn to veteran Matt Breida to try to create a spark on this offense in his absence.
