Jets WR Mike Williams (ACL) heading toward participating in team drills

Aug 19, 2024

Jets receiver Mike Williams returned to practice Aug. 7 when he passed his physical. But he has only participated in individual drills at practice, while running routes on the side as he works his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Williams said Monday that he expected to be cleared for team drills soon.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams was quoted in the story, saying, “I think next week I’m going to be doing some team. Just getting in the rhythm of doing things with the team and lining up and going through some plays.” This falls in line with what we reported last week that Williams was a couple weeks away from team drills. When he's ready to go, he'll line up as the team's WR2 and a WR3 overall for fantasy, but comes with risks.

Justin Jefferson (quad) considered “day to day”

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is considered “day to day” after suffering a quadricep contusion during Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Jefferson doesn’t seem overly concerned about the injury. “I’m not seriously injured,” Jefferson told the media after the game. Jefferson dealt with a hamstring injury last season but this sounds like it will be a minor issue. Jefferson believes he’ll be ready to go for Week 3 against the Texans.

Hollywood Brown not expected to play in regular season

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is not expected to play during the regular season due to his shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown needs surgery on his shoulder. He was already placed on injured reserve and now his season ends before even taking a regular season snap with the Chiefs. This should means plenty of deep targets for rookie Xavier Worthy, as well as work in the run game, as we saw against the Ravens. Rashee Rice will gobble up targets as the main weapon for Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunate news for Hollywood.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) misses practices Saturday, questionable for Monday vs. Falcons

Eagles WR A.J. Brown did not practice Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown began feeling tightness in his hamstring during practice Friday and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team would be “cautious” with him Saturday. So this could be a case of the Eagles just giving him some rest before Monday’s game. If Brown can’t go, Jahan Dotson could be in line for a bigger role Monday. If possible, have a backup option ready for Brown, such as Dotson if he’s available.
