Lamar Miller carted off with left knee injury

Aug 24, 2019

Texans RB Lamar Miller was carted off the field during Saturday’s preseason game against the Cowboys with a left knee injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

Miller’s knee was hit by the helmet of Maliek Collins on a stretch play and Miller went down immediately. No word yet on the severity of the injury but things do not look good for Miller. This now creates a major opportunity for Duke Johnson, whom the Texans just acquired from the Browns earlier this month. The career rushing leader at the University of Miami, Johnson is fully capable of seizing a three-down role for the Texans. Without an update to Miller's injury, Johnson is worthy of a fifth round pick if drafting this weekend. Here’s to a quick recovery for Miller.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
