49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) seeing specialist in Germany

Sep 23, 2024

And to top it off, 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is seeing a specialist in Germany regarding his Achilles tendinitis.

Related players: Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't sound good for CMC. Now owners can't help but wonder if McCaffrey will be back after missing his four games on IR. Mason has filled in well, gaining 5.2 yards per attempt with two touchdowns on the season. But at this point, with CMC seemingly a huge question mark, it may be time to pick up players like Guerendo and Taylor. Guerendo was the only other back to get carries in Week 3, running five times for 19 yards.

Dan Campbell says Sam LaPorta suffered sprained ankle

Lions head coach Dan Campbell says tight end Sam LaPorta suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened during Jahmyr Gibb’s touchdown in the second quarter. LaPorta got rolled up on in the end zone. He was later carted off the field. He tried to return to the game in the third quarter only to leave shortly thereafter. We’ll likely know more Monday but it’s fair to think LaPorta may miss a little bit of time. The Lions host the Seahawks next Monday night then go into their bye week in Week 6.

Brian Callahan says Will Levis remains Titans starter

Despite his second two-interception game, Will Levis remains the Titans starting quarterback, said head coach Brian Callahan Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Levis went 26/34 for 260 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions (with one pick-six) in Tennessee’s 30-14 loss Sunday to the Packers. Levis now has four touchdowns and five interceptions for the season and the Titans are 0-3. Levis has turned the ball over eight times through three games. He was also sacked eight times by the Packers and has taken 15 sacks this season. We’ve already seen one major quarterback change among 2023 draft picks, could we see another? The Titans play at Miami next Monday night. For the record, Mason Rudolph is Levis’ backup.

Sam LaPorta carted to locker room

Lions TE Sam LaPorta was carted to the locker room late in the first half against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened as LaPorta was blocking downfield on Jahmyr Gibbs’ touchdown. The Lions have had multiple injuries so far today but this is easily the most fantasy-significant for the Lions and across the league. LaPorta had been considered the top fantasy tight end. Hopefully it’s not a serious injury but we will certainly wait for more details. He had two catches for 36 yards before leaving.
