Gameday Injuries: Week 7 Injury Roundup
October 22, 2017
Week 7's injury report has a number of notable names and a number of potential game-time decisions. Juan Carlos Blanco breaks down who's most likely to suit up or sit heading into Sunday morning.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2015
2014
Matthews is perhaps best known for his performance against the Patriots in Super Bowl 49 when he broke out for 109 yards and a score. He hasn't been heard from much since that game with a total of two regular season receptions since the start of 2015. After spending all of last season on IR, Matthews has a chance to see the field this season in light of Baltimore's attrition among pass catchers. Matthews (6-5, 228) has the size to create matchup issues against smaller defenders, but he'll likely also need to make an impact on special teams in order to crack the 53-man roster. Even if Matthews makes the final roster, he'd likely do so as the Ravens No. 6 wideout.
It's not often that a player's breakout performance comes in the Super Bowl, but that's what happened to Matthews last year when he led the team with four catches for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl after playing just 19 offensive snaps in three regular-season games. It remains a mystery why it was so hard for the 6-foot-5 Matthews to get on the field, especially considering the Seahawks' tallest regular wideout was 6-foot-1. He certainly has the team's eye now and could be in line for a bigger role this season. Matthews doesn't have great speed, but his size allows him to outmuscle defensive backs and high-point the ball even when he can't get separation, something the Seahawks have sorely lacked the last few years. He should easily step into the No. 3 receiver role, though the addition of Jimmy Graham will likely limit his upside at the goal-line.
Matthews spent the last two seasons in the CFL, but his one asset -- he's 6-5 -- is something that could land him a shot down the road.
