Fantasy football injuries, NFL Week 5: Projections for Lions following multiple wide receiver injuries

Fantasy football injuries become more impactful as the season progresses, and there are multiple injuries worth monitoring heading into the Week 5 NFL schedule. 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been a limited practice participant due to a knee injury, while Lions wide receivers Amon-Ra. St. Brown (abdomen) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are both questionable for their Week 5 matchup against Carolina. Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Baltimore. Meanwhile, Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) both have a chance to return this week.

One Fantasy football injury that the model can help you deal with: Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

If he is sidelined, the return of 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams (suspension) would help cushion the blow.
