Only two weeks of NFL football has been played but we are already seeing a significant uptick in injuries. The variety of injuries all across fantasy football could be a death knell to your team’s projected win total if you have several injured stars on your roster.
My name is Kyle Trimble, I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and injury analyst here at Dynasty League Football. I am here every week to break down the latest injuries and provide perspective on how to navigate the pitfalls that are injuries.
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.
Let’s look at the various injuries heading into Week 3 and any concerns moving forward for your fantasy championships.
Injury: Right quadriceps contusion
Timetable to return: Week 3
Jefferson exited the game in the fourth quarter with a right quadriceps contusion after colliding with teammate Garrett Bradbury and 49ers LB Fred Warner. Despite not returning to the game, the team is optimistic about his chances to play in Week 3. This is mostly a pain issue with inflammation that could limit some bursts off the right side. The biggest concern is protecting the area and preventing a repeat hit to the area, causing further inflammation or a new injury to the knee.
Jefferson is still a must-start in Week 3 and should have no notable drop-off in performance.
