Raiders DT Christian Wilkins suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot Sunday against the Broncos. He had surgery this week and is out indefinitely, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

There's a chance Wilkins can return this season, but this injury tends to be more than a four-week deal -- and might sideline him for the year.

That makes Wilkins OK to drop in most IDP leagues. It also deals a big blow to the Raiders' team D, though that hasn't been a unit you'd want to use in fantasy this year anyway.

Wilkins should be fine for 2025 at the least. We'll watch for updates on his chances for 2024.
