Mitchell suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and was immediately ruled out. DeAndre Carter managed a touchdown in Week 1 and Jalen Guyton could get some opportunities, but Palmer has the upside of this trio. Josh Palmer is the name to consider with only 36.2% of teams rostering him in ESPN leagues. He was initially deemed questionable to return but then downgraded to out early in the third quarter. LA’s top pass-catcher went down with a hamstring injury in the first half against the Raiders. Julio Jones is off to a solid start with the Bucs and is rostered in 42.8% of ESPN leagues. Hamstrings are always trick for receivers, so this will be something to keep an eye on the next couple days. He had three receptions for 35 yards before suffering a hamstring injury in the second quarter. The Bucs receiver was a game-time decision but ended up active. Ezekiel Elliott theoretically will see more work, but he’ll also see more eight-man boxes. This downgrades all their fantasy options until Rush proves he can make plays. Cooper Rush will take over for Prescott unless the Cowboys look outside the organization for veteran help. The Cowboys QB suffered an injury to his throwing hand on Sunday and will miss 6-8 weeks after surgery. And be sure to check back as we provide updates on each injury as new information comes along this week.
#WAIVER WIRE PICKUPS UPDATE#
We’ll update as more players get added to the injury report. It’s also worth noting some big names that were inactive this week and will be worth tracking on the injury report the rest of the week.īelow is a rundown of notable skill position injuries, and who stands to benefit as you consider what to do with your waiver wire priority. 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell, Steelers RB Najee Harris, and Saints RB Alvin Kamara also dealt with an injury. The most notable injuries in the early part of Week 1 were at the running position.
There will be breakout candidates to consider, but there are also injury situations to address. We’ve got a couple days until waivers runs in most leagues, but it’s never too early to figure out your plan. While the rest of the schedule plays out, it’s time to start thinking through your fantasy football waiver wire options. ET games a wrap and the afternoon and primetime slates left to be played. However, with Dalvin Cook likely to miss time (and possibly stay that way all season with that separated shoulder) Mattison will see a massive amount in the Vikings’ offense.The NFL is working through the Week 1 slate with the 1 p.m. Mattison is in a slightly different position in Minnesota. With D’Andre Swift and David Montgomery expected to miss time, both of these running backs will see an increased workload on top of their already heavy usage. Williams and Herbert have already staked their claim in their respective offenses, regardless of the starters’ availability. If even one is available, smash that claim button or unload some serious FAAB. First and foremost, run… do not walk … to your waiver wire and check for Jamaal Williams, Khalil Herbert, and Alexander Mattison. There are only a few things that are worse in fantasy than a litany of injuries to studs at running back. He showed incredible athleticism with an acrobatic catch against the Browns and looks comfortable in his role. There are already questions at quarterback after questionable play by Mitchell Trubisky, but Pickens is involved in that offense. Out of some other names who may be available, Pittsburgh’s rookie wide receiver has the best schedule moving forward. With Chris Godwin also battling injury, Tom Brady may be looking for him more often than not.
He saw some massive work against Green Bay in Week 3 when he caught 12 of his 13 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. Russell Gage is an option to consider while Julio Jones deals with the PCL injury. They are 76% and 40% rostered on Sleeper, so it’s likely they may already be taken. First, check to see if Treylon Burks or Romeo Doubs are on the wire. KC / ATL / waiver wire is a little slim this week for the wide receiver position, but there are a few options that are hopefully available for you.
