Fantasy Football Injuries Affecting Week 5

Hello everyone. I hope you had a good week in fantasy football for Week 4. This will be a list of a few key injuries you need to keep an eye on that may affect your roster. We will start with Tyler Eifert, the Tight End for the Bengals. It looks like Eifert's injury is the worst of the week. He broke his ankle and will miss the entire rest of season. Eifert is a solid TE when he is healthy and plays, however, that has been a big problem for the TE. He was plagued with injury last year, and it looks like history has repeated itself. He can safely be dropped in all leagues. It appears that Tyler Kroft and C.J. Uzomah will handle the majority of the tight end snaps moving forward for the Bengals.

Another injury to the TE position is Seahawks TE Will Dissly, who suffered a torn patella tendon in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Cardinals. Dissly was off to a hot start, but it has come to a crashing halt. Dissly's rookie season has come to an end with this injury. Nick Vannett will take over as the lead tight end for the Seahawks for the remainder of the season. Feel free to drop Dissly from all formats.

Smaller injuries include the following: Leonard Fournette, Rob Gronkowski, T.Y. Hilton, Will Fuller, Sammy Watkins, Geronimo Allison, and O.J. Howard. All of these players left their games respectively so you will want to keep an eye on their status to see how serious or minor their injuries are.

This next player did not get injured, but he could be dropped. It looks like the magic has run out for Fitzmagic AKA Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick played terribly against Chicago and was benched mid game. He was replaced by Jameis Winston and it appears that Winston will be the starting QB moving forward for the Bucs. It was a helluva run for Fitzpatrick, but all good things must come to an end. Feel free to drop him in all league formats.

That is all for now. Good luck next week with your fantasy teams and thanks for reading.
