Justin Simmons Injury History & Analysis

Falcons S Justin Simmons is active for today’s game against the Seahawks. A hamstring injury that rendered him questionable after just two limited practices this week adds risk. But there’s also upside to the matchup. Seattle has supplied more fantasy points to opponent DBs than any other offense.

The Falcons on Thursday agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with former Broncos S Justin Simmons. That should install Simmons as the starter next to Jessie Bates III.

Broncos LB Josey Jewell (hip) and S Justin Simmons (hip) each put in limited practices Wednesday. Both players missed Week 4, so we'll need to watch their participation through the week. This marks improvement for Jewell, who missed Wednesday and Thursday practices last week. Simmons opened Week 4 limited as well.

Broncos S Justin Simmons (hip) is inactive for today's game against the Bears. That means Delarrin Turner-Yell will start in his place again. He racked up 13 tackles in Simmons' absence last week and should be in starter consideration for IDP lineups once again. Check our updated Week 4 DB rankings to see where he lands.

The Broncos have downgraded S Justin Simmons (knee) to out for today's game against the Titans. P.J. Locke looks like the next man up, with S Caden Sterns on IR. Locke -- in his 3rd season -- has never started an NFL game and thus doesn't make for a terrific IDP option this week.
