Week 6 injury recap

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Bucs (hamstring): Egbuka was injured in the second half vs. the Niners in Week 6 and did not return. This is a tough break for managers as the rookie WR had been putting together a pretty historic start to his NFL career. We’ll be monitoring this situation closely, along with veteran Mike Evans, who also has a hamstring injury and could return in Week 7. NFL Network is reporting Egbuka could “miss some time” due to the injury.

If Evans, Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. all sit next week vs. the Lions, the Bucs would be down to Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson at wide receiver. TE Cade Otton could get peppered with targets if all three are out.

Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (ankle): Nacua was forced to exit Sunday’s win over the Ravens after falling and landing awkwardly in the end zone in the first half. Nacua was able to return but didn’t see much of the field, finishing with two catches on three targets for 28 yards. He had been on a historic pace heading into the matchup. NFL Network is now reporting that Nacua is likely to miss some time. That means he could miss Week 7’s matchup in London vs. the Jaguars before the Rams’ Week 8 bye.

Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals (concussion): Harrison landed after making a catch early vs. the Colts in Week 6 and hit his head. He left the game to be evaluated for a concussion and did not return. There’s a chance MHJ is placed into concussion protocol, which could make it difficult for him to be ready in time for the Cardinals’ Week 7 matchup vs. the Packers.

Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets (knee): Wilson and the Jets lost 13-11 to the Broncos in London to start Sunday’s action in Week 6. It was initially deemed a hip injury but later confirmed as a knee issue. The Jets are 0-6 and have no reason to rush Wilson back on the field depending on the severity of the injury. If Wilson misses time, New York’s offense could be a wasteland at receiver. Josh Reynolds and Arian Smith would be the top wideouts along with TE Mason Taylor.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Titans (hamstring): Yet another wideout going down with a hamstring injury, Ridley was forced to leave early vs. the Raiders in Week 6. He had been pretty disappointing all season despite hype rookie QB Cam Ward would return the WR to fantasy relevance. If Ridley misses time, rookie WR Elic Ayomanor would be the clear WR1 with Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike as the other options. None of those three are really viable outside of punt plays in deep PPR formats.
