WEEK 3 INJURY REPORT: BIG BEAN INFIRMARY

🩹 PUKA NACUA — LOS ANGELES RAMS

Injury: Groin/Hip

Puka Nacua has officially been ruled out for Week 3 after dealing with a groin/hip injury.

This is a tough one for The T-Dogg Experience since injuries are piling up and their first round pick hasn’t played since week 1. T-Dogg has been in a tough spot and it’s only going to get more difficult.

Unfortunately, Puka will be watching this one from the sidelines, leaving the T-Dogg fans very frustrated. Their offense has looked stagnant and Nucua could help unlock their full potential, but will have to wait at least another week.

🩹 NICO COLLINS — HOUSTON TEXANS

Injury: Hamstring

Nico Collins is dealing with a hamstring injury heading into Week 3.

And as we all know, hamstrings are basically the fantasy football equivalent of a smoke alarm. Sometimes it’s nothing. Sometimes your entire season is about to catch fire.

Collins’ status will be monitored by The Mayes but seem pessimistic.

If Collins is limited or unable to go, managers should have a backup plan ready because nobody wants to find out five minutes before kickoff that their WR1 is sitting on the bench in street clothes.

🚨 BRIAN BURNS — NEW YORK GIANTS

Injury: Torn ACL

Brian Burns suffered a torn ACL and will be out.

Unfortunately, this is not one of those injuries where we can simply say, “Hopefully he’ll be back next week.”

The ACL has officially entered the chat.

For fantasy managers relying on Burns, this means it’s time to start looking elsewhere for production. For Giants fans, it’s another major blow to their defense.

🚑 DE’VON ACHANE — MIAMI DOLPHINS

Injury: Torn ACL

And unfortunately, this is the biggest injury on the report.

De’Von Achane suffered a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season.

For The Achanes who appropriately changed their name to CeeDeez Nutz drafted Achane with big hopes of having the best backfield in the AKL. Now luckily, they had a great draft and had depth at the running back but this is a big blow to a team that was catching steam.

Achane was expected to be a major contributor this season, so losing him for the year is a massive blow.

☕ BIG BEAN FINAL REPORT

Week 3 Injury Level: 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨/5

The Armchair Kickers League officially recommends that all managers:

1. Check your injury reports.
2. Check your bench.
3. Check your waiver wire.
4. Find a backup for every questionable player.
5. Blame your fantasy team’s injuries on bad luck rather than your drafting.

And remember:

It’s only Week 3.

There is still plenty of football left.

Which means there is also plenty of time for everyone else to get hurt. 🏈💀
