Bills Stevie Johnson injures hand

Dec 12, 2011

Stevie Johnson had a 116-yard receiving day in a losing effort Sunday. Nicked up all season long with groin and shoulder issues since the year began, Johnson now may have another nagging issue.

Johnson was asked by the Bills Radio Network about his right hand, which he kept flexing and making a fist with during postgame interviews. Here’s what Johnson divulged about it.

“I don’t know what happened,” he said. ”I don’t know if it was dislocated or anything, but every time I make a fist there’s something with like a nerve or something. But we’ll see what it is. I don’t know.”

Fantasy Impact:

A hand injury is not good news for a WR, but Johnson did finish yesterday's game with nice numbers. We'll keep you monitored on his progress but at this point it's best to have a backup plan in case he can't go. The Bills take on the Dolphins in a 1 p.m. game next weekend.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
