Follow Dr. Edwin Porras on his fantasy football account here and see what his day job is in the Denver area
Michael Penix Jr. — Knee
Coming off a bone bruise he might not move as well but he should be active for Week 9.
Joe Flacco — Shoulder
Flacco is gonna need to get rid of the ball quickly and hope a defender doesn’t last on him hard. He’s highly risky this week.
Kyler Murray — Foot
There’s really no clear answer for what’s going on with Murray. Brissett will get the start again.
Jayden Daniels — Hamstring
Daniels has been fighting leg injuries all year. The Commanders were careful but Daniels is still at risk for reinjury.
Brock Bowers
Theoretically Bowers was out as long as the PCL needed to recover. He’s not a cash game play but if he makes it through this game, he should be good for the rest of the season.
Projected Return: Week 11-12
Nico Collins - Concussion
Another concussion Christmas miracle! He’s at high risk for reinjury.
Cooper Kupp - Heel/Hamstring
Kupp’s practice status slowly worsened throughout the week. He’s highly risky even if active.
Projected Return: Week 9-11
George Kittle - Oblique
Kittle just got back from a hamstring injury and now is fighting another soft tissue injury. Fire him up in season-long but he can’t be a cash game play.
