The official fantasy football season is over, but if you are reading this, you know you are going to play daily fantasy or make some prop bets. Just because the fantasy season has ended does not mean injuries are turned off! So many players are out or questionable this week with injuries, many of which are critical for your daily fantasy and prop bet selections. Let's dive into the implications of Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Kyren Williams, and over 30 other injuries.
Quarterbacks
Josh Allen
Injury: Foot injury
Analysis: Allen will play again as he continues to recover from a mild right foot sprain. We talked at length last week about how the right foot is critical for a right-handed passer to generate throw power. For the most part, Allen looked fine delivering the ball last week, but at times did not appear to have the same drive that he normally has. The slippery surface may have been a factor as well, but his foot injury cannot be ignored. Rushing will continue to be limited as well until his foot's function returns closer to normal. Allen did appear to have at least slightly injured his foot last week, making it possible that he suffered a mild setback. Overall, Allen should remain a solid DFS play, but upside is capped compared to his norm.
Lamar Jackson
Injury: Back contusion
Analysis: Lamar is back after missing last week with a back contusion. The advantage of a contusion is that healing is usually very smooth and quick. As bruising subsides, which takes 7-10 days, full function is restored. There is no loss of stability, strength, or mobility as long as rehab has focused on the right things, and function should be very close to 100% this week.
