Weekly Injury Report 🚑

New Injuries

     

Tee Higgins said he hopes to avoid missed time, but history suggests he's unlikely to do so. Players usually miss a game or two after fracturing ribs.

Mike Evans actually has a better chance to avoid missed games despite hamstring injuries typically being more problematic than rib issues for WRs. The Bucs are on bye Week 5, and Evans has a long history of hamstring injuries but also a good track record of coming back from them relatively quickly and producing.

Khalil Shakir barely has a role in Buffalo's offense and can be dropped in most leagues regardless of how he recovers from the concussion. 

Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson (ankle) are on the injury report ahead of a TNF game against Chicago, though Dotson being listed as LP on Monday suggests he's not in much danger of sitting out. Samuel, on the other hand, was listed as a non-participant.

Mike Tomlin has already deemed Pat Freiermuth "very doubtful" for Week 5 against Baltimore, and it sounds like the TE will miss time beyond that. An IR stint isn't totally out

Mike Tomlin has already deemed Pat Freiermuth "very doubtful" for Week 5 against Baltimore, and it sounds like the TE will miss time beyond that. An IR stint isn't totally out of the question, IMO.

Luke Musgrave suffered a concussion on TNF, and the extra three days to recover might end up making the difference between missing a game or not. He was getting a ton of snaps and a decent number of targets before the injury, so this might be a buy-low opportunity.

Tyler Higbee hurt his thumb. It seems like he's been listed as questionable dozens of times without ever actually missing a game. That's not technically true, but I don't think a thumb issue will do him in unless it's so bad it demands surgery. In any case, Higbee's best shot at a run of strong fantasy production was the first four weeks of the season. He's not going to see many targets if Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell and Kyren Williams are the guys he's sharing the field with.

Potential Starters

   

Bench Stashes

No shortage of options here, including some guys like Wilson, Reed and Downs who have already been handling starter workloads. The headliner is Jameson Williams after the final two games were chopped off his suspension, but I really have no clue what to expect there. Mims and Rice both have played well, especially Mims, so it's kind of a three-way tie at the top here.

Some might take that as throwing water on Michael Wilson, who erupted for 7-76-2 against the Niners this past Sunday, but it's less about draft capital and more about team context. Wilson is obviously off to a great start, and his low target rate looks a lot better given the sterling per-target efficiency (14-of-16 for 237 yards and the two TDs). In deeper leagues where Mims, Rice and Williams are already rostered, it makes sense to use a nice chunk of FAAB on Wilson, whose ceiling scenario would involve Kyler Murray returning and Marquise Brown being traded.
