NFL Week 7 Injury Report

1. Allen Robinson (Jaguars) – Leg Injury

Bills at Jaguars (Sunday, 9:30 AM ET)

Robinson has been an absolute beast lately, developing some solid chemistry with Blake Bortles. In his past four games, he has four toouchdowns and 375 yards receiving on 42 targets (21 catches). He's been a very reliable fantasy option, but unfortunately suffered a leg contusion late in Sundays loss to the Texans. The X rays came back negative today, so that's a good indication he might be able to play this week. The game is listed as a home game, but is actually taking place in London early Sunday morning back in North America. There's a good chance you and I will avoid any DFS contests with this game, but if you don't, this is a situation to monitor. If he isn't able to go, Allen Hurns should see an increase in targets, but this also means Blake Bortles is very ignorable for fantasy purposes against a solid Bills secondary.

2. Michael Vick (Steelers) – Hamstring Injury

Steelers at Chiefs (Sunday, 1:00 PM ET)

The year of the hamstring continues, as Michael Vick is the most recent victim to fall victim of a hammy issue. Vick was hurt late in Sundays win over the Cardinals, where Landry Jones came in relief and hit Martavis Bryant for two touchdowns. Ben Roethlisberger is still listed as questionable for this week, and I think I saw enough of Jones Sunday to deem him DFS relevant, at the very least. The Chiefs secondary has been victimized all season long, and Jones has some elite offensive talent at his disposal. I wouldn't be shocked if Big Ben somehow suits up, but if he doesn't and Jones does, I like him as a cheap contrarian GPP play.

3. Carlos Hyde (49ers) – Foot Injury

Seahawks at 49ers (Thursday, 8:25 ET Thursday)

Hyde re-aggravated his foot injury in Sundays win over the Ravens, but early indications are it won't keep him out of Thursdays' divisional showdown against the Seahawks. For contests that include Thursday nights game, Hyde will make an interesting tournament option if he is able to go. Normally I would avoid 95% of players in Thursday night games, but with Hyde's status uncertain, and a match up against the Seahawks, his ownership should be very low. Head coach Jim Tomsula dismissed his injury as being plantar fasciitis related, and expects him to suit up Thursday. Another wrinkle in this situation is a report that running back Reggie Bush could also return to action, after dealing with a calf injury since week 1.

4. Sammy Watkins (Bills) – Ankle Injury

Bills at Jaguars (Sunday, 9:30 AM ET)

We have another player from the London game with a question mark over his head for Sunday morning. Sammy Watkins injured himself on a very bittersweet play for the Bills and their fans Sunday against the Bengals. He made a great adjustment and catch for a touchdown from EJ Manuel, but injured his ankle in the process. He was in a walking boot this morning when the Bills touched down in London town, and remains very questionable to play against the Jags. With Percy Harvin already out with a hip injury, if Watkins is unable to go, running back Lesean McCoy and tight end Charles Clay will see all the touches they can handle. Both will make very good cash games and tournament options, hopefully with quarterback Tyrod Taylor back in the mix.

5. Jordan Reed (Redskins) - Concussion

Buccaneers at Redskins (Sunday, 10:00 AM ET)

If Reed is cleared to play Sunday against the Bucs at home, he will be an awesome play in all formats. Reed is one of the only players to show some good chemistry with QB Kirk Cousins, who is having an atrocious season so far for the Skins. Jay Gruden has said there won't be a quarterback change, and also said that there is no indication right now whether Reed will be cleared through the concussion protocol. To muddy the waters even more, receiver Desean Jackson suffered a setback in practice when he re-aggravated his, you guessed it, hamstring injury.
