Fantasy Football Injuries to Monitor: Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Warren, Drake London and More

Week 11 of the NFL regular season is nearly in the books, with just a Monday night game to go. It's been a rough week with injuries, so I figured I'd highlight them all here.

We will break down the injuries by position and briefly go into what those injuries mean to those players and their teams.

Quarterbacks

Pittsburgh's Aaron Rodgers has a small left wrist fracture and could miss some time. It's not expected to be a long-term injury, however.

Rodgers might not be what he used to, but he's certainly a better option than backup Mason Rudolph. If Rodgers misses a couple weeks, there will probably be a bigger emphasis on the running game (led by Jaylen Warren), while some of the pass catchers (DK Metcalf) could struggle a bit.

Atlanta's Michael Penix aggravated his knee injury from earlier in the season. There's concern he will miss a little more time, which means Kirk Cousins will likely get some starts.

Cousins is a more-than-capable quarterback still, so the Atlanta offense doesn't take a massive hit with Penix out - some might even have better fantasy outlooks with Cousins starting instead of Penix.

Cleveland's Dillon Gabriel left with a concussion, and could miss week 12, or more, as a result. Shedeur Sanders replaced him and struggled in his time on the field.

The Cleveland offense hasn't been good anyways, so I'm not sure going from Gabriel to Sanders is going to impact all that much. I expect Sanders to play better with a week of preparation, but he and most of the Browns' offensive fantasy players will only be deep-league starting options.

Running Backs

Green Bay's Josh Jacobs left and didn't return because of a knee injury. The initial belief is that it's not a long-term injury, but there's a chance he too misses some games.

Emanuel Wilson is the top running back after Jacobs, so he will be a big-time waiver wire add this week, especially if it's announced that Jacobs will miss some time. Chris Brooks is likely the next running back after that, and could be involved a bit offensively if Jacobs were to miss time.

Pittsburgh's Jaylen Warren left with an ankle injury in the team's game on Sunday. If he were to miss games, then Kenneth Gainwell would lead the backfield, and rookie Kaleb Johnson could factor in a bit.

The Steelers' offense could really be a mess if Rodgers and Gainwell miss the same game. 

Los Angeles Chargers' Kimani Vidal left with a thigh injury. He's been the top back since Omarion Hampton went down.

Trayveon Williams was the back that played the next-most snaps, and could lead the way if Vidal misses time. Amar Johnson is another back who could factor in.

The Chargers suffered a really surprising and lopsided defeat to the Jaguars on Sunday, but luckily have their bye in week 12. That could give Vidal enough time to heal up, and Hampton could return after the bye as well, so the bye could not be at a better time for the Chargers.

Wide Receivers

Atlanta's Drake London left with a knee injury, but it's not expected to be a long-term injury, although he could miss time. If he's out, the Atlanta offense is going to be hurting.

Darnell Mooney will likely serve as the team's top wideout if London misses time, with David Sills V as the next-best option. KhaDarel Hodge and Casey Washington are also guys who played in week 11. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is a guy who'd get a fantasy boost from London being out, and be a good starting option alongside Mooney, Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.

Buffalo's Keon Coleman didn't get hurt, but he was a healthy scratch for disciplinary reasons. His status will be one to watch going forward, and his absence will help the likes of Khalil Shakir and others. 

Mecole Hardman also got hurt for the Bills at receiver. Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel, Joshua Palmer and Gabe Davis are guys who played snaps on Sunday with Coleman out, and Hardman getting hurt.

Tennessee's Calvin Ridley broke his fibula and is out for the season. Chimere Dike left because of a concussion, so he could be out for week 12, at least.

Elic Ayomanor is the Tennessee wide receiver to target, especially if Dike is set to miss some time. Van Jefferson played the most snaps of any Titans' wideout on Sunday, but he's not a very good fantasy option. 

Mason Kinsey is the other only wideout who played this week, so down Ridley and maybe Dike, the Titans will need others to step up - tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm will likely be more involved too.

Washington's Jaylin Lane suffered a hip injury and didn't return for the Commanders. The team has already been playing without Terry McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey, so this could just add another wideout to the inactive list.

Luckily, the team has a bye in week 12, so it's a chance for several guys to heal and maybe return for week 13. If McLaurin and Lane are out for that game though, Deebo Samuel Sr. will take on an even bigger role, with Chris Moore, Robbie Chosen and Jacoby Jones among the other options. That could lead to a big day for tight end Zach Ertz.
