Meachem on crutches after surgery

May 10, 2010

Larry Holder of CBS Sports is reporting on Twitter that New Orleans Saints WR Robert Meachem had toe surgery and the goal is to have him back by the first week of training camp. He's currently on crutches.

Fantasy Impact:

Meachem is WR2 or WR3 on your fantasy team and a solid option in a lot of matchups because the Saints throw the ball so much. This probably won't hurt his value a whole lot, considering the style of offense he's in - unless he's not ready to start the season.

Report: Patriots fear ligament and/or tendon damage for Mac Jones

The Patriots fear QB Mac Jones suffered ligament and/or tendon damage to his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones was seen screaming in pain after injuring his ankle. X-rays were negative, but X-rays of course won't show ligament damage. He'll undergo further testing on Monday, but the thought is that the injury is serious. Brian Hoyer and rookie Bailey Zappe are the other quarterbacks on the Patriots roster. Jones went 22/32 for 321 yards but threw three interceptions against the Ravens, who dropped to 1-2 on the year.

Update: Adam Schefter reports it is a high-ankle sprain for Jones.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Cook was having a strong day, rushing for 96 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries but now the question is how serious is the shoulder injury. Alexander Mattison is now in at running back with the Vikings trailing the Lions.
