Minkah Fitzpatrick: Jets safety facing multi-week groin absence

THE FACT. Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to miss roughly two to three weeks with a groin strain, per Yahoo Sports, which reported the timeline Tuesday morning. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Fitzpatrick hurt the groin six plays into the win at Tennessee and is unlikely to play Sunday against Green Bay, per Athlon Sports.
THE VERDICT. IDP: this is a stash-or-drop call on roster size. Bench him where you have an IR slot, cut him in shallow formats where a three-week hole is not worth the spot. Wait for the Jets to name his replacement before streaming a Week 2 substitute. Redraft: no offensive impact. DFS: New York's secondary is a shade softer without him, so Green Bay's receivers move up a tier in Sunday tournaments.
