Texans fear QB Deshaun Watson has a torn ACL, heading for MRI to confirm

Nov 02, 2017

Sources: Texans QB fear Deshaun Watson suffered a torn ACL in practice today. A non-contact injury. MRI coming to confirm.

Update: Adam Schefter tweeted, "Deshaun Watson did tear his ACL, per source. Tests on-site revealed tear."

Fantasy Impact:

Terrible break for Watson who was having a great rookie season. As we await word about the MRI, owners will need to plan for the worst. Senior Editor John Paulsen listed Tyrod Taylor, Jared Goff, Josh McCown and Jacoby Brissett as his favorite Sneaky Starts of the week. Tom Savage would also be a decent spot start given a great matchup against the Colts, though he wasn't impressive early in the season. Watson owners should make sure that they have a quarterback on the roster for Week 9 because even if it's just a knee sprain, he's likely to miss this week at the very least.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
