Saquon Barkley (ankle) misses another practice

Oct 14, 2021

New York Giants running Saquon Barkley missed Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Saquon suffered a grotesque ankle injury in Week 6 and is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. However, the Giants have not placed their star running back on short-term I.R. and thus are still providing injury updates. No one should expect a miraculous return to play for Week 6, but the reluctance to place him on injured reserve suggests that the Giants hope to have him back by or before Week 8. Devontae Booker will get the featured treatment with Saquon sidelined, with Elijah Penny backing him up. Booker is our 19th ranked running back for Week 6.

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.
