Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Impact On Top Players
Transcript
00:00 Yeah, I mean, look, it's an unfortunate reality of the game.
00:06 We had Tim Patrick go down for the Denver Broncos.
00:09 I don't really remember any, I mean, even a, a sprain, a concern.
00:14 I mean, I don't really remember any of this stuff, but we've got Jackson
00:18 Smith and Jigba with this wrist injury.
00:20 I mean, we kinda, we kinda just went over that wrist injury
00:23 at the start of the show.
00:24 But I mean, this is a guy who was going in the top 60 picks, a fifth round pick,
00:28 sometimes a fourth round pick and some higher stakes formats, a guy I re I mean,
00:33 honestly, like I thought the price was a little bizarre, but I didn't want to go
00:37 into the season, not having JSN on my fantasy teams and the Seahawks have an
00:43 early buy Craig, which really sets up an interesting situation for the Seahawks
00:48 where maybe they just decide to hold them out.
00:51 Maybe they just say, you know what, you are going to go on the designated for
00:54 return IR and you can come back in week six, which would be probably fine for
01:00 the Seattle Seahawks, the team, but like an absolute disaster for people who
01:04 drafted him, because you're not going to cut him.
01:06 You know, you spend a six, seven, even an eighth round pick on JSN.
01:09 You're definitely not going to cut him, but it leaves you in a pretty difficult spot.
01:14 Uh, additionally on this list, Jalen Waddle of your Miami dolphins has been
01:19 dealing with an abdominal injury that has kept him out of all of their preseason stuff.
01:24 He's been out of training camp for about two weeks.
01:26 The team said they are optimistic about getting him back for week one.
01:31 That doesn't sound that great.
01:33 I mean, I, I would prefer my young rookie or not rookie, but my young third year
01:37 wide receiver to be like almost pretty much a hundred percent good to go.
01:42 So, so weird there.
01:43 Um, the Miles Sanders thing.
01:45 I mean, it's, it's interesting if you are, uh, like a zero running back
01:49 drafter because his backup Chuba Hubbard has been working in a ton with the first
01:54 team and in fact played every preseason snap with Bryce Young in.
01:59 So I threw through two games.
02:01 I believe they played 30.
02:02 I played Bryce Young played 33 snaps and Hubbard played all 33 snaps with him.
02:07 So if you are kind of skimping on running back, maybe you're, maybe
02:10 you're rooting against Miles Sanders groin injury recovery.
