Pats TE Rob Gronkowski groin injury not believed to be serious

Sep 18, 2017

Rob Gronkowski injury watch is officially on for the 2017 season.

The New England Patriots tight end was listed with an official injury for the first time this season during the team's Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints.

On his sixth catch of the day, Gronkowski appeared to come down awkwardly on a hit and was taken off the field to the blue pop-up injury tent on the sideline. He did not return to the game.

Gronkowski was listed as questionable to return to the game with a groin injury. As of Monday morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the issue is not believed to be serious.

Related players: Dwayne Allen, Jacob Hollister

Fantasy Impact:

The story didn't offer a timetable, and, we're not likely to get one from the Patriots at any point, so this is probably going to be a wait-and-see issue; perhaps even a game-time issue. The good news is the Pats play an early contest in Week 3 against Houston. Meanwhile, Allen is next up on the depth chart and will likely see some action on the waiver wire this week. Allen didn't record a catch after Gronk went down, but Hollister did catch one ball for five yards.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
