Dolphins TE Julius Thomas out with back injury

Aug 14, 2017

It’s been a slow start for Julius Thomas with the Dolphins.
Thomas hasn’t had a ton of catches in training camp, though Adam Gase dismissed that as incidental, and now he joins an already long injury list. He’s out today with a back injury.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story pointed out, this is concerning given that back trouble ruined last season for him so keep an eye on this.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead suffers season-ending knee injury

Rex Burkhead was running well this season and looked to be in the discussion for the Patriots’ most effective back. However, that all came to an end Sunday when he suffered a season-ending knee injury that may end his time in New England.

Related players: Damien Harris, James White, Sony Michel

Fantasy Impact:

Burkhead will be a 30-year-old unrestricted free agent and may not be in the plans for the Patriots moving forward. Harris, White and Michel, who didn't play in Week 11 but was activated, will lead the way at RB. It could continue to be a cloudy situation when it comes to the New England running backs especially if Michel is activated for Week 12.
