Browns TE David Njoku seeking second opinion on wrist/hand injury

Sep 18, 2019

Sources confirm Browns TE David Njoku seeking second opinion on right wrist/hand after sustaining injury Monday night that could cost him significant time. Browns will wait on results before making any roster decisions.

Fantasy Impact:

The last we heard was that David Njoku missed practice on Wednesday due to a concussion, but if Anthony Lima's report is true, he could be in store for a longer absence. Lima is a radio personality in Cleveland, so there is some room for skepticism, but he was retweeted by Daryl Ruiter, the Browns beat reporter for 923 The Fan and someone who is trusted as a source of Browns' information.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
