Fantasy Football Injury Report

Another week of preseason games have concluded and with that comes more injuries.  With only one more week left, hopefully we don't see any injuries to big-time players since I plan on having them all on my team.

Already a weak position, TE was hit with two injuries to sleepers.

Dustin Keller, formerly of the Jets, now of the Dolphins completely blew up his right knee.  He tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, menisci and dislocated it.  I haven't seen it, but I'd imagine it looked something like this:

He's out for the year.  Obviously.

Colts TE Coby Fleener, who may or may not have had a big role in the Colts offense this year, left the game vs the G-Men with a "sprained" knee.  Sprained is what they always say until the MRI shows a torn ACL. Then they say "torn ACL - out for the year."  That MRI is still pending however but we should know today or tomorrow if he'll be draftable.  Keep an eye on it, b/c I doubt you'll see an update from me.

Also in this game, Victor Cruz bruised heel by running on it.  Running is a prerequisite for his job, preferably at a high speed.  If he can't run, he won't have much fantasy value. This is one of those injuries that could be nothing and heel (get it?) in a week or two, or could nag him all year.  Something to consider for all you Giants fans that were going to take Cruz as a WR1. /nodding at mintz

The Packers WRs are in some rough shape.  Jordy Nelson had surgery and they are hoping he'll be back for Week 1, but it's a nerve issue, so they can't be certain.

Even worse, Randall Cobb, a bona fide WR1 in the Patented Sandwich Fest Advanced Scoring System (patent pending) has been out of practice and both preseason games with a biceps injury.  I feel like a biceps injury is one you just throw some dirt on and get on with it.  Apparently he's ready to do just that once Week 1 comes around, but he could lose out on his kick return duties, making him a candidate to find himself off Balls Deep this year.
