🏈 AKL Fantasy Football — Week 5 Injury Report

🏥 TreVeyon Henderson (New England Patriots): Henderson suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots’ Week 5 win over the Raiders. He exited in the second quarter and was ruled out early in the third. Reports later indicated he suffered a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss several weeks.

Being on the waiver wire no one is rushing to pick him up, but has a lot of potnetail. New England has given their RB1 role to Rhamondre Stevenson and now the injury to Henderson makes him look more like a bust than a boom.

🚑 Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers): Samuel suffered a hamstring injury against the Seattle Seahawks and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He finished with two receptions for 21 yards and two rushing attempts for four yards before leaving. An MRI was planned to assess the injury, and early reports indicated he could miss additional time.

CeeDeez Nutz took a low blow losing their flex option who had been playing really well the past couple of weeks. He has been ruled out this week vurses the Commanders but the bright side is there isn’t long term designation to Samuel. The Nutz are hoping to have him back next week to take on a tough matchupo in the STEELHAMMERS.

🧠 Ja’Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals): Chase entered the week in the NFL’s concussion protocol after being injured during Cincinnati’s Week 4 game. He was listed as questionable ahead of Week 5 but was cleared to play against Miami.

Chase has been cleared to play and the STEELHAMMERS can breath a sigh of relief. Their star reciever will be back and leading the charge as but will be on a bye next week so will have to make a big splash this week.

🦵 Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals): Higgins sustained an adductor injury late in the Bengals’ Week 4 game and also dealt with a neck issue. After missing practices early in the week, he returned to full practice and was active for the Week 5 matchup against Miami.

On the other hand the other STEELHAMMER reciever Higgins will miss the Dolphins game and leading into the bye the STEELHAMMERS are hoping to have him back ween they take on the Nutz.

🏥 Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles): Barkley suffered a hamstring injury during the Eagles’ Week 4 loss to the Rams. He was considered week-to-week and did not practice during the Week 5 lead-up, ultimately missing the game against Jacksonville.

From bad to worse for Big Odle Energy, they will have to play this week without Barkley. Odle Energy has struggled this year and losing your star RB is part of the reason. They will have to find a way to get a win this week without him.

🩹 DeVonta Smith (Philadelphia Eagles): Smith continued dealing with a hamstring injury that had affected him earlier in the season. After missing Week 4, he remained sidelined during Week 5 preparations and was ruled out against Jacksonville

Dr.Blakery will have to use his AI to set his line up this week since his WR2 is going to miss this week. Smith has been battling this hamstring injury for most of the season, so they’re hoping this heals with some rest so they can get him back soon.
