Saquon Barkley done for the day with an ankle injury

Oct 10, 2021

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

The man just cannot catch a break. He rolled up after a collision with WR Kadarius Toney, limped off the field and was carted off to the locker room. The broadcast showed the extreme swelling of his ankle. Very unfortunate for Barkley after working his way back from the ACL injury. Devontae Booker is in now for the Giants.

Bengals give TE Noah Fant a one-year deal

Bengals are giving former Seahawks and Broncos TE Noah Fant a one-year deal.

Bengals also have released TE Kole Taylor.

Related Players: Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson, Erick All

Fantasy Impact:

We can probably assume that another one of these names (if not Fant himself) will be missing from the team's final 53-man roster. Gesicki should remain the TE to target on this offense, though he can be saved until very deep in drafts.

Giants WR Malik Nabers returns to practice; is "good"

Giants HC Brian Daboll says WR Malik Nabers, who injured his shoulder this week, is “good” and will practice today.

Fantasy Impact:

Great sign for a potential first-round selection in fantasy. The pass-catching corps is still light in New York, so he should continue to demand a massive target share in Year 2.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy in concussion protocol

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, who left yesterday’s practice after banging his head, is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, per coach Andy Reid.

Fantasy Impact:

This comes just a day after Brown left practice with an ankle injury, signaling an all-around tough practice for the squad yesterday. With Rice potentially missing a portion of the season due to suspension, the Chiefs can't afford to be missing either Brown or Worthy for any time. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for both receivers, or it's going to be a sneaky bounce back season for TE Travis Kelce.
