Panther's WR Kelvin Benjamin's knee injury not believed to be serious

Sep 25, 2017

Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin did not return to Carolina's Week 3 loss to the New Orleans after suffering a knee injury, the team announced. Benjamin limped off the field after suffering the injury in the first half.

However, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Benjamin did not suffer a major injury, per early indications, and has been described as "fine."

Fantasy Impact:

It's certainly good news for Benjamin and the Panthers. However, there was no talk about his status for Week 4 in the story so we'll continue to monitor.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Golladay appears on track to make his 2020 debut in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. He will need to avoid any setbacks, but two limited sessions are always good news heading into Friday. We will officially learn his status upon the release of tomorrow's injury reports. While celebrating may be premature, it appears both the Lions and fantasy managers will have their star wide receiver back. Golladay is our 27th ranked receiver for Week 3.

Jonnu Smith (ankle) returns to practice

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith returned to a full practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Jonnu raised some alarm bells by sitting out Wednesday's practice, but it appears that the Titans just chose to manage Smith's reps while he is dealing with an ankle issue. Smith was a star in Week 2 but will have a much tougher test against the Minnesota Vikings Eric Kendricks, arguably the best cover linebacker in the NFL. Jonnu is our ninth ranked tight end for Week 3.

A.J. Brown (knee) misses practice

Tennesee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown missed Thursday's practice.

Fantasy Impact:

A.J. Brown is firmly trending towards missing his second consecutive contest. The Titans would be wise to play it safe with their prized sophomore, and will likely err on the side of caution as far as when he is cleared to return to the practice field. With Brown out Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, and Adam Humphries all get slight value boosts. Jonnu was a star in Week 2 but has a tougher matchup on tap against one of the top coverage linebackers in the league in Eric Kendricks.
