Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The 2026 NFL season has seen a high volume of significant injuries affecting key fantasy football players, including quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, and Jayden Daniels, and skill position players like De'Von Achane, Justin Jefferson, and Breece Hall.
- Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated right thumb and is expected to miss three weeks, leading to Jalon Daniels stepping in as quarterback, which impacts the fantasy value of Bucs receivers.
- Miami Dolphins' top running back De'Von Achane tore his ACL and is out for the season, with Ollie Gordon II likely to take over as the lead back, making him a top waiver wire target.
- Minnesota Vikings' star receiver Justin Jefferson left a recent game with an ankle injury, and if sidelined, Jordan Addison is a strong fantasy start, especially against Miami.
- Other notable injuries include New Orleans' Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), San Francisco's Mike Evans (rib strain), and Carolina's Jalen Coker (quad strain), all of whom may miss upcoming games, affecting their fantasy outlooks.
