Cardinals lose center A.J. Shipley to torn ACL

Aug 06, 2018

Not long after taking the reins from Bruce Arians, new coach Steve Wilks cited the Cardinals' overhauled offensive line as the strength of the team in 2018.

That assessment has come into question with Wilks' announcement Monday that starting center A.Q. Shipley is out for the season after tearing his ACL in a weekend practice.

Fantasy Impact:

If there is a silver lining, it's that the front office had the foresight to pull the trigger on Michigan's Mason Cole as a third-round pick and center of the future. Cole's development on the interior will have to be expedited, as he spent three of his four seasons with the Wolverines at left tackle.

Jets WR Jamison Crowder (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets also activated rookie Denzel Mims off injured reserve, a good sign Crowder will not play. It will be Mims’ NFL debut after dealing with hamstring issues. Injuries have resulted in Crowder cooling off after a strong first three games he played with three 100-yard games.

Bills TE Dawson Knox tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play Sunday against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills also placed TEs Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeny and practice squad TE Nate Becker on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Tyler Kroft was actually away from the team for the birth of his daughter. Kroft will now take over for the time being as the starter while Knox recovers. Kroft is our No. 27 tight end for the week.

No new positive tests for the Raiders and Saints

The Raiders and Saints did not have any new positive cases from Friday’s round of COVID testing.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders-Buccaneers and Saints-Panthers games are both on track to be played Sunday. Vegas had the biggest scare after all five starting offensive linemen were sent home earlier this week, but things are trending back in the right direction. A reminder that this game is now a 4:05 kickoff after originally being the Sunday night game (Seahawks-Cardinals is now in that spot). Saints-Panthers is an early kickoff and a friendly reminder that neither Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) or Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) will play in that game.
