Vikings WR Jordan Addison injures ankle, not believed to be serious

Aug 14, 2024

Update on Jordan Addison: Injured his ankle, unlikely to practice tomorrow but Kevin O'Connell doesn’t believe it to be serious

“I think he’s going to be OK,” KOC said after practice.

Related Players: Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor

Fantasy Impact:

Just brutal injury luck for the Vikings over the last couple of days. The WR depth chart is very, very thin behind Jefferson/Addison, so for the sake of a fluent offense, let's hope Addison is just fine. We'll keep an eye on it, but if Addison misses time to pair with a possible late-season suspension, he's going to be a headache for fantasy.

Justin Jefferson (quad) considered “day to day”

39 minutes ago

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.
