The Minnesota Vikings have ruled out Sam Bradford for their Week 3 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen, Bradford is seeking a second opinion on his injured knee from Dr. James Andrews.

We break down the fantasy impact of Sam Bradford missing another game due to his knee injury.

Bradford has been dealing with swelling in his left knee since he twisted it in the regular-season opener. Andrews is the same doctor who did both surgeries for torn ACLs Bradford suffered in his left knee.
Those came in 2013-14, which Andrews successfully repaired both times. However, Bradford thinks he could develop chronic knee pain due to the injuries.
Fantasy Impact: Whatever the outcome is for his latest setback, Bradford is out for Week 3, and fantasy owners should not count on him playing in the near future. As long as Bradford is sidelined, Case Keenum will be the Vikings’ starting quarterback, which downgrades the fantasy impact of all players in this offense.
