Jordan Matthews 'week to week' with sternum fracture
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jordan Matthews is "week to week" with a "chip fracture in his sternum."
What It Means:
The injury occurred on Sunday during Matthews' first practice since being acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles this past Friday. "Week to week" is a rather ambiguous timeline, but even if he's available Week 1, Matthews will miss valuable practice time entering the season as he tries to get acclimated to Buffalo's offense. Second-round rookie Zay Jones and 36-year-old Anquan Boldin are Tyrod Taylor's top options at receiver right now.
Assuming he plays a full 16-game season, numberFire's models project Matthews to catch 68.9 passes for 800.3 receiving yards and 5.57 touchdowns in 2017. He's 38th among all receivers in our fantasy rankings entering the year.
