Broncos RB Royce Freeman, TE Jeff Heuerman injured Week 8

Oct 28, 2019

There were all kinds of Broncos players grimacing as they put on their shirts and shoes Sunday. Royce Freeman (shoulder), Joe Flacco (neck), Jeff Heuerman (knee), Todd Davis (knee), Ja'Wuan James (knee).

Related players: Phillip Lindsay, Noah Fant

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman's shoulder injury isn't supposed to be serious according to reports but with the struggles this season there is no reason to rush him back.

Heuerman is dealing with a knee injury which could open the door for Fant. As TE is always a position that's a struggle at some point during the fantasy season, this is certainly news to pay attention to.
