NFL Injury Report: Tracking Week 4 Fantasy Football Injuries For Notable Stars
Week 4 of the NFL season begins in London at 9:30 a.m. ET, which forces fantasy football owners to make their lineup decisions earlier than normal.
One of the main injury storylines involves the quarterback position for the New England Patriots. We still don’t know if Jimmy Garoppolo or Jacoby Brissett will start against the Buffalo Bills.
Patriots do not expect to know which QB they will start Sun., Jimmy Garappolo or Jacoby Brissett, until pre-game warmups, per league source.

If Garoppolo does play, all of the Patriots’ receivers and tight ends become much more fantasy relevant because he’s already shown this season that he can spread the ball around and put up points. A Brissett-led offense probably would lead to a more run-based attack, which would increase LeGarrette Blount’s value.
Keep it right here throughout the day for all the latest injury news involving key players.
