Keeping track of NFL injuries is crucial for fantasy football players. Here’s a look at the key players and their injury statuses that could impact your game this week.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills
- Josh Allen, QB (nose): Good to go for the Thursday Night Football matchup against the Dolphins. As a top QB1, he’s a strong start.
Miami Dolphins
- Jaylen Waddle, WR (shoulder): Limited in practice and is questionable to play. Historically, he plays through injuries, so he’s likely a WR2/3 option.
- Darren Waller, TE (hip): Ruled out for Week 3, which doesn’t change projections for the receiving group.
- Jaylen Wright, RB (knee): Removed from the injury report and ready to play. He may take on some rotational duties.
New England Patriots
- No injuries to report after their Week 2 win against the Dolphins.
New York Jets
- Justin Fields, QB (concussion): Out for Week 3. Tyrod Taylor will start, but he’s not a reliable starter in most leagues.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
- Isaiah Likely, TE (foot): His status is still uncertain. He’s worth keeping on your bench.
Cincinnati Bengals
- Joe Burrow, QB (toe): Facing surgery and will be out for 3-4 months. Expect Jake Browning to take over, which impacts the entire receiving corps.
Cleveland Browns
- No significant injuries following their Week 2 matchup.
Pittsburgh Steelers
- No major injuries reported from their recent game.
AFC South
Houston Texans
- Joe Mixon, RB (foot): On injured reserve, missing at least four weeks.
- Christian Kirk, WR (hamstring): Expected to return in Week 3, a boost for the offense.
Indianapolis Colts
- Tyler Warren, TE (toe): Did not practice. Monitor his status for Week 3.
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Brian Thomas Jr., WR (wrist): Fully practiced and likely to play.
Tennessee Titans
- Tyjae Spears, RB (ankle): On injured reserve; his absence boosts Tony Pollard’s value.
AFC West
Denver Broncos
- No injuries from their recent loss.
Kansas City Chiefs
- Xavier Worthy, WR (shoulder): Limited in practice, but may still play.
Las Vegas Raiders
- Brock Bowers, TE (knee): Practice participation unclear, but he remains a TE1 if healthy.

- Ladd McConkey, WR (biceps): Did not practice, raising concerns.
NFC East

New York Giants
- Wan’Dale Robinson, WR (foot): Keeping an eye on his injuries for Week 3 relevance.

- D’Andre Swift, RB (quad): Did not practice, and backup options are advisable for any scouts.

Green Bay Packers
- Jayden Reed, WR (collarbone/foot): Undergoing surgery; stock up on Tucker Kraft for targets.
