Dynasty Injury Report: Week 15

You only survived the first round of the playoffs if you had a first-round bye after this week of injuries. Otherwise, it was a brutal week for anyone in their first-round game who either won or lost their matchup. Reading this week’s injury article can help you navigate all the pitfalls and landmines of injuries that wrecked once-promising fantasy playoff hopes.

I am Kyle Trimble, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and injury analyst 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 16 and any concerns moving forward for your fantasy championships.

Joe Mixon, RB HOU

Injury: Left ankle sprain

Timeline to Return: Week 16

Mixon was once the victim of a hip-drop tackle, courtesy of Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks, this time appearing to tweak his left ankle. However, this injury was not as severe and cost him three games early in the season. Mixon has reportedly stated his ankle is fine but he may still be limited in practice this week. I’m confident that he will play this week but he may just need extra time to rehab. Watch the injury report this week in case initial reports were too optimistic.

Zach Ertz, TE WAS
