Dynasty Fantasy Football Injury Report: Week Nine

My name is Jeff Mueller, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I am here to help guide you through these weekly injuries and provide (hopefully) helpful insight into how bad the injury is and what the expected timeline for recovery is for your key player. The weekly injury roundup will be posted on Wednesdays to discuss injuries that just occurred. I would also encourage you to tune in to the DLF YouTube channel (make sure to subscribe!) to tune in to helpful content throughout the week.

Josh Allen, QB BUF

Injury: Right Elbow, UCL

Return to Play: Week 11-13

Fantasy Impact: Allen had a defender hit his arm right as he had winded up and was about to release the ball, suffering likely a mild UCL sprain. Often times in these cases, there is some slight nerve irritation as well as the nerve is tensioned. I do think he has a chance to play in week ten (he did uncork a 70-yard bomb after the injury, though Gabriel Davis couldn’t come down with it). We’ll have to wait and hear any news from the more extensive testing done. Note, the Bills play on a short week during Thanksgiving so we may wind up with three weeks without Josh Allen.

Jonathan Taylor, RB IND

Injury: Right Ankle

Return to Play: TBD
