Fantasy Football Injuries for Week 7

We are cruising along in the NFL season. Week 7 is upon us and hopefully your fantasy football teams are looking solid. There are 4 teams on bye this week, so make sure to pay attention to your roster. You don't want to start a player on the bye week...that is an easy way to lose to your opponent. You also want to make sure that your players are not injured as well. This post will include a few players that were injured on week 6.

This group of players that got injured include the wide receiver position. First up we have Amari Cooper. He suffered a concussion and left the game early. The NFL is getting strict with their concussion protocol, so you will want to keep an eye on his status. You will be better off keeping him on your bench this week. Cooper Kupp suffered a knee injury, which is a shame because he is having a great season. The 2nd year receiver is a great value this year. Keep an eye on his status, he may play this week.

The next two receivers both suffered ankle injuries...Quincy Enunwa and Calvin Ridley. You should probably bench both of these players this week and look for a replacement off of the bench or waiver wire. The final receive is Mohamed Sanu who suffered a hip injury and left the game early. Sanu has been having a nice season up to this point. He was undrafted in many leagues, and made for a great waiver wire pickup. This week you may want to sit him.

If you are need a wide receiver to fill in for any of these injured players or due to the bye week teams, check and see if Taylor Gabriel of the Chicago Bears is available. He has emerged from Trubisky's hot hand and has performed well the last few weeks. He may be worth starting this week to fill in the void. You can also try reaching for Chester Rogers of the Indianapolis Colts. If TY Hilton doesn't suit up, Luck will have to throw the ball to someone and that someone may be Chester Rogers. He received 10 targets last week, catching 5 of them for 55 yards and a touchdown. He has some more value in a PPR, and may be a good option for a 1 week fill in.

Well there you have it for now. Good luck this week. We are getting close to the halfway point. The NFL season is moving fast. Hopefully your team is near the top or at least contending for a playoff spot. Thanks for reading and I will see you again soon.
