I will be trying this out as a new weekly article for week 4 of the fantasy football season. If you find the info helpful, please log in to the forums and let me know so I can continue to put it out in the future. Not sure how many fantasy managers are looking for the Week 4 injury report. If we do have members looking for this information, I will go through the NFL’s official injury report every Friday and pull out the fantasy relevant players that will affect your teams.
If you need to know who to start/sit from this list, log in to the forums Sunday morning before gametime, our head NFL writer mikesherman will be available to answer all lineup questions 2 1/2 hours before the early games begin.

What are your thoughts on dropping Heyward-Bay for Titus Young? That hit he took looked pretty serious, and while they’re saying he might play in a week or two, is he worth holding onto? Never been a fan of DHB, but it was hard to ignore him being the top receiving option on the Raiders going into the draft.

If it wasn’t for that crazy hail mary at the end of the game in week 3, Young’s line would have been 5/29/0. Instead he caught the 46 yard hail mary, which no one can say was intended for him to end up 6/75/1. His other 2 weeks were 1/14/0 and 1/11/0. I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole right now, hold on DHB. If he returns healthy in a week or two, he should still see plenty of looks from Palmer.

Yea I was high on Young in the preseason and drafted him in 2 of my 3 leagues. But dropped him in both (coincidentally, for Boldin in both after he was dropped). And the league I have DHB in, the owner dropped Young as well. That league is pretty deep and we play 4 WR’s a week, so I was just wondering if stashing Young would be wise. But I’ll probably hold onto DHB just in case he comes back and performs like he has been this year.
