Danny Amendola injury update: How to handle Patriots WR vs. Chargers
The Patriots’ offense is nearly unstoppable when everyone is healthy. That’s actually bad news for Danny Amendola and fantasy owners.

The New England Patriots are listing Danny Amendola as questionable to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8.
Amendola is battling a knee injury that had him limited in practice this week, but it does not appear he’s in real danger of missing this contest. He injured his knee during a punt return in a Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
The oft-injured Amendola has only missed one game due to injury this year. The problem is, even when Amendola has been healthy this season, he’s not made a major dent in fantasy football. He has just six catches for 57 yards over his last two games.
There are just too many passing options in this offense for Amendola to consistently produce.
Fantasy Impact: Amendola, if active, will face a Chargers defense allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Even if he’s active, keep Amendola on the bench for Week 8.
