Injury updates on players landing on the PUP list has caused a big shift in fantasy football outlooks heading into 2024 drafts.
It’s NFL cutdown day, so we’re seeing lots of players retained and released. And while that will have an obvious effect on our fantasy drafts, the players who end up staying on the PUP list are as important and, in some cases, more important.
The first big name who will remain on the PUP list is Nick Chubb. Like all PUP players, he’ll be forced to miss at least the first four regular-season games. Our Jen Piacenti broke down what that means for Chubb, Jerome Ford and the Cleveland Browns backfield. Today, we’ve had four more fantasy-relevant players remain on the PUP list. Let’s dive into each and what their absences mean for their draft value, and the value of those around them.One of the elite tight ends in fantasy football, Hockenson suffered a late-season knee injury last year. He’ll miss matchups against the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers.
With Brooks out, Chuba Hubbard will be the Panthers lead back with Miles Sanders playing a backup role. Hubbard will be a RB2/flex starter if he is seeing the lion’s share of the work, while Sanders is worth a fantasy roster spot in deeper leagues until Brooks returns.To the surprise of no one, Higbee will miss the first four games coming off a knee injury. He will miss matchups against the Lions, Arizona Cardinals, 49ers and the Bears.
With Higbee out of action, I would project Colby Parkinson as the new lead tight end for the Rams with Davis Allen and Hunter Long also in the mix. Parkinson could be a matchup-based option in deeper leagues or in daily fantasy play, but that’s the extent of his value.Bourne, coming off an ACL tear, will miss games against the Bengals, Seattle Seahawks, Jets and the 49ers. The Patriots don’t have a bye until Week 14, so that won’t factor into his return.
