Every week players across the NFL suffer injuries. This weekly article will explore the injuries that affect your dynasty squads. We will briefly discuss the injured players themselves and the players who stand to benefit or suffer. To make them easier to follow, we will break down the injuries by division. Let us examine the Regular Season Week 9 injuries and the next men up without further ado.
AFC East
Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen suffered a UCL injury in his team’s Week 9 loss. This means that the superstar quarterback has a slight tear in his arm. Team officials do not anticipate him missing any game action as a result of the injury. However, any time it comes to injuries to a quarterback’s throwing arm, it is an issue to take note of. Keep an eye on Allen’s practice reps as the week progresses. If he does miss game action, the Bills will turn to veteran Case Keenum.
AFC South

Jacksonville tight end Evan Engram suffered a back injury in his team’s Week 9 victory. Early indications out of Duval County indicate the injury is minor. Engram has been listed as day-to-day. Team officials expect him to be ready to go in Week 10. However, if he were to miss time, Jacksonville would turn to Chris Manhertz and Dan Arnold. Keep an eye out for news on Engram’s practice reps as the week progresses.
AFC North

Cincinnati running back Chris Evans suffered a knee injury in his team’s Week 9 victory. Evans is a role player on the offense and a special teams contributor for the Bengals. If he is forced to miss time, the Bengals could potentially expand the role of top backup Samaje Perine. Joe Mixon will remain the workhorse back and the only fantasy option out of this backfield.
AFC West
The AFC West emerged from Week 9, absent any fantasy-relevant ailments.
NFC East
None of the teams in the NFC East suffered any fantasy-relevant injuries in Week 9.
NFC South
The NFC South escaped Week 9 action without any fantasy-relevant injuries.
NFC North

Green Bay running back Aaron Jones suffered an ankle injury in his team’s Week 9 defeat. Suffering through a multi-week skid, the Packers are having their worst season in years. Team officials don’t seem to believe this is a significant injury. They have indicated that they expect Jones to suit up in Week 10. However, Green Bay will turn to AJ Dillon if he does miss game action. If that came to pass, Dillon would immediately become a plug-and-play running back option in all formats.
Green Bay wide receiver Romeo Doubs was forced from his team’s Week 9 defeat with an ankle injury. Team officials have revealed that the talented rookie sustained a high ankle sprain. He is expected to miss multiple weeks with the ailment. Green Bay has had a terrible time with receivers during 2022. The Packers will rely on Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, and fellow rookie Christian Watson with Doubs out.
NFC West
The NFC West was one of a number of divisions not to suffer any fantasy-relevant injuries.
