FANTASY FOOTBALL WEEK 1 INJURY REPORT

Like with any other week in fantasy football, we always have injuries which need to be talked about.  Nothing significant luckily took place leading into Monday's games however so all in all most owners came out fine.

-Major scare for Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles who came out of the team's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a quad injury.  Charles came back to carry the ball one more time though and pronounced himself all right after the game. Crisis averted but it is a reminder of how fragile Charles can be given his slight frame.  It is fears about his durability that likely will keep Andy Reid from giving Charles much more than the 16 carries he got Sunday.

-Same deal for Danny Amendola who also came out of his game early with injury, for him a sore groin.  It was the same malady that kept Amendola out for some of the preseason,.  However he returned for the second half and went on to have a big day with 10 catches which speaks to his massive potential in the offense.  It is only a matter of time before he gets hurt again so enjoy Amendola while he lasts.  Some guys have firmly proven they just can't make it through a season playing all 16 games and Amendola is certainly one who falls squarely into this category.

-Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen caught a TD pass from Andrew Luck Sunday but he finished the game in the locker room nursing a foot injury.  No word if it is related to the one he hurt in the preseason.  Coby Fleener would take a step up in value if Allen were to miss any time going forward.

-One guy who we should be concerned about is Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo who is headed for testing on the injured rubs he suffered in Sunday night's win over the New York Giants.  Romo took a shot to the rubs in the second quarter and was in quite a bit of pain on the sidelines.  He did return for the third quarter however but his passes lacked zip.  Late word is that the team fears a broken rib which could go one of two ways.  One would be that Romo could play with padding depending on if it is a small crack.  Or Romo could be out a few weeks which of course would be the worst case scenario for his owners.  Always one of my favorites, Romo is criminally underrated considering he is a good bet for 30 touchdowns and 4,500 yards.  This one bears watchign so keep checking back during the day Monday.

-Roddy White was a complete non-factor in the team's game against the New Orleans Saints due to the high ankle sprain that his limited him all summer.  He caught two meaningless passes and his immediate value is called into questions based on how poorly he played.   If you are a White owner, you may want to bench him next week in order to give that ankle another week to get better and thus being out the true number 1 wideout he really is.

-Kudos for Reggie Bush fighting though a groin injury and a broken finger to finish with a monster rushing and receiving game.  For a guy who has had more than his share of injuries, it was nice to see Bush hang in there.  He and Joquie Bell and both looking like terrific PPR weapons.

There you have it.  As always lets hear what you think.
