NFL Week 3: Fantasy Football Saturday Injury Updates

Arian Foster: The hamstring needs to heal. The Texans are best to sit him out and let Ben Tate do the work. I wouldn’t consider using him this week.

Antonio Gates: I didn’t draft Gates in any league because of his recent injury history. He’s gives your opponents nightmares when he plays, but all too often it’s you that’s worrying about his status. Sounds like he should go despite missing practice all week, but he likely won’t have to play the entire game since the Chiefs are terrible. If you are a gambler, play him. Otherwise, go for a safer bet.

Beanie Wells: It didn’t take long for Wells (hamstring) to get nicked up. He’s not a tough runner when he’s banged up. That’s if he plays. I’d look elsewhere.

Dallas Clark: Clark’s foot is giving him issues. Given how bad the Colts have been and the fact that they’re playing Pittsburgh, I’d look elsewhere.

Dez Bryant: He’s playing on Monday Night Football, so make sure you’re ready to add a Cowboys or Redskins receiver if he can’t go.

Felix Jones: This one is tough. They don’t play until Monday, so you’re going out on a limb. If you have another solid option, I’d go that route.

Marcedes Lewis: Looks like he’ll play, but how effective will he be? Especially considering the Jags turned to Blaine Gabbert.

Michael Vick: You knew this would be an issue when you drafted him. He looks like a go so you have to play him.

Percy Harvin: Thankfully, he wasn’t dealing with a migraine. Harvin returned to practice and is a go against Detroit.

Peyton Hills: So much for giving Hillis a reduced role. The Browns are working him into the ground again. That said, he should be good to go this week and should be in your fantasy lineup.

Tony Romo: The lung is healed. The ribs will be shot up and protected with special equipment. Looks safe to start.
