Bryce Young not expected to play Week 3
Andy Dalton expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 21 2023, 3:12 pm
|
Bryce Young did not practice, and isn’t expected to play Sunday. (Carolina Panthers on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Young is dealing with an ankle injury which means we'll get Andy Dalton at quarterback for Carolina against the Seahawks. Young has thrown for 146 and 153 yards in his first two NFL games so we're likely to see some better efficiency from Dalton, which could make veteran Adam Theilen a more comfortable Flex option. Miles Sanders (pectoral) was limited on Thursday.

Cam Akers on the move to Minnesota
Vikings and Rams swap late-round picks in 2026
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 20 2023, 6:30 pm
|
Trade! The #Rams are sending RB Cam Akers to the #Vikings, per sources. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell and OC Wes Phillips were with Cam Akers in L.A., so he should be up to speed quickly and help Minnesota’s backfield. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Akers time with the Rams has finally come to an end. The sides had their differences last season and just two weeks into the 2023 season, the veteran running back is on the move. Alexander Mattison and Vikings have struggled to their running game going in the first two games so perhaps Akers can provide a spark. How much he cuts into Mattison's role remains to be seen.

Brandon Aiyuk a gametime decision
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 20 2023, 4:28 pm
|
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s status for the 49ers’ game Thursday night remains in question.
And the answer likely is to be delivered 90 minutes before kickoff.
The 49ers listed Aiyuk as questionable on their injury report due to a left shoulder injury he sustained Sunday in the 49ers’ 30-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. (NBCSportsBayArea.com)
FFToday's Take: Aiyuk was limited on Tuesday with a shoulder injury and it sounds like he's a true gametime decision. The fact that the 49ers play Thursday night against the Giants doesn't bode well for his chances of being active. Saquon Barkley for the Giants has already been was ruled out.

Justice Hill dealing with toe injury, may sit Week 3
Kenyan Drake added to the practice squad
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 20 2023, 3:30 pm
|
#Ravens RB Justice Hill suffered a toe injury that could keep him out of the Week 3 matchup with the #Colts but shouldn’t result in a lengthy absence, per source.
Baltimore signed vet Kenyan Drake as insurance. (Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The running back injuries across the league are piling up after two weeks. The Ravens have already lost J.K. Dobbins and will now likely turn to Gus Edwards as their main RB against Colts. Edwards has no pass-catching value, making him more of a RB2 in non-PPR leagues.

Browns bring in Kareem Hunt, one-year deal
Depth piece with Nick Chubb out for the year
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 20 2023, 10:46 am
|
Reunion: The #Browns and veteran RB Kareem Hunt have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, per source.
Hunt scored 23 TDs over the past four seasons in Cleveland. Now he’s back - and figures to have a lot of opportunities after Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: HC Kevin Stefanski already stated that Jerome Ford will be the team's lead back so Hunt will likely slide into the No.2 RB role now that Nick Chubb (knee) is out for the year. Hunt wasn't effective last season (3.8 ypc) but does give the Browns some depth at the position. Ford is projecting like an RB2 moving forward.

Jamaal Williams likely out for a bit
Suffered hamstring injury in Week 2
By: Doug Orth | Sep 19 2023, 11:50 pm
|
Saints’ RB Jamaal Williams is expected to need “some time” to recover from his hamstring injury, per HC Dennis Allen. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: New Orleans may be down to Tony Jones Jr. and rookie Kendre Miller for Week 3 against the Packers. Week 4 cannot come soon enough for the Saints, who will get Alvin Kamara back that week for a NFC South showdown with the Bucs. It is possible - albeit unlikely - that Williams may not have much of a role upon his return if Miller shows out against Green Bay. Expect Williams to take a back seat to Kamara but remain in the RB3 conversation once he is healthy again.

Nick Chubb done for the year
HC Kevin Stefanski: "Significant" knee injury
By: Doug Orth | Sep 19 2023, 12:20 am
|
Coach Kevin Stefanski confirms that Nick Chubb is done for the season with a significant knee injury. Awful. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: The injury was gruesome enough that the telecast did not want to replay it. There is a distinct possibility Chubb is in the hospital as we speak to make sure all he did was suffer multiple torn ligaments; it was that bad. Without question, this is an injury that could have a significant impact on his ability to play - and certainly, play up to his standard - again. Jerome Ford showed well after his departure and stands to be a highly sought-after waiver-wire addition over the next few days. While it is likely the team will add someone over the next day or two, this figures to be Ford's show until further notice.

Joe Burrow in danger of missing Week 3?
Reportedly tweaked preseason calf injury
By: Doug Orth | Sep 18 2023, 7:20 pm
|
Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Joe Burrow's availability for Monday Night Football against the Rams: Hard to say. (ESPN.com - Ben Baby)
FFToday's Take: There has been some speculation that Burrow could go on IR, but it seems doubtful the 0-2 Bengals would go in that direction unless the injury was very serious. What is more likely is that Cincinnati will sit him in Week 3 against the Rams and reassess. Jake Browning would get the start if that ends up being the case. The fantasy values of everyone in this offense - specifically Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins - hang in the balance.

Amari Cooper to give it a go on Monday night
Listed as questionable after late-week groin tweak
By: Doug Orth | Sep 18 2023, 7:10 pm
|
Source: #Browns WR Amari Cooper, who tweaked his groin this weekend in practice and was listed as questionable, will be active tonight vs. the #Steelers. A big lift. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: There seems to be no hint of how serious of a tweak Cooper suffered, but it is safe to assume he will be far less than 100 percent and could even end up being a decoy. Elijah Moore and David Njoku figure to be more active as a result, while Nick Chubb could be heavily featured against a Pittsburgh defense that got gashed by Christian McCaffrey in Week 1. Moore should be a strong WR3 option at worst, while Njoku should have TE1 upside. Chubb, of course, should be started everywhere.

Austin Ekeler out indefinitely?
Missed Week 2 with ankle injury suffered in opener
By: Doug Orth | Sep 18 2023, 7:00 pm
|
"No timeline" on Austin Ekeler's return from his ankle injury, Brandon Staley said. (The Athletic - Daniel Popper)
FFToday's Take: Uh-oh. This now has the feel of a high-ankle sprain, although no one can seem to confirm it. Joshua Kelley was mostly ineffective against the stout Titans' run defense in his first real shot at being the featured back in Week 2 and predictably fared poorly. Kelley should fare better against a weak Vikings defense in Week 3, although fantasy managers in deeper leagues should try to find a spot on their roster for preseason sensation Elijah Dotson, who could eventually take over some part of the Ekeler role in this offense if the 28-year-old back misses much more time.

Saquon Barkley week-to-week with sprained ankle
Out 3 weeks?
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 18 2023, 4:38 pm
|
An MRI showed that Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley suffered an “ordinary” ankle sprain that now is expected to sideline him three weeks, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: There was no chance of Barkley playing Thursday night against the 49ers on a short week. Perhaps he'll be ready to go Week 6 against the Dolphins. In the meantime, Matt Breida will pickup some fantasy value but he's likely to be a Flex option at best. The Giants don't have a bye until Week 13.

Diontae Johnson lands on IR, hamstring injury
Will miss the next four games
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 18 2023, 4:18 pm
|
The #Steelers placed WR Diontae Johnson on IR. He's out at least four games. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This seemed like the logical outcome as Johnson's injury seemed severe enough that he wasn't going to play anytime soon. The Steelers will head into their Monday night clash with the Browns with George Pickens, Allen Robinson and Calvin Austin as their top three wideouts.

Cam Akers on the trading block?
Rams RB Inactive in Week 2
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 18 2023, 10:17 am
|
The #Rams have had trade talks centered around RB Cam Akers. The starter in Week 1 was inactive for Week 2 after a difficult week of practice. Kyren Williams is now the starter, and Akers’ spot is up in the air. Sean McVay: "I think there is going to be an opportunity to see what that looks like moving forward, but it’s not going to be a back-and-forth thing." (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is very vague but it's obvious there is an issue going on between Akers and the team. Whether of not it results and trade or Akers returning to the active list remains to be seen. Kyren Williams was the lead back for the Rams in Week 2 and got the bulk of the work, with Ronnie Rivers filling in as a backup. Williams represents an mid-range RB2 as long as he keeps this role.

DeAndre Hopkins expected to play Week 2
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 17 2023, 7:10 am
|
Titans’ WR DeAndre Hopkins, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. the Chargers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Hopkins missed practice all week so it's somewhat surprising that he's going to give it a go. He went down with an ankle injury very late in last week's game against the Saints. He'll be a shaky WR2 in a game with the Chargers that has some overall fantasy appeal
|
|
|
Mark Andrews expected to play Week 2
Practiced in full on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 17 2023, 7:00 am
|
#Ravens TE Mark Andrews, listed as questionable because of a quad injury, is expected to play on Sunday, source said. He was a full participant on Friday. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Ravens tight end missed Week 1 but is expected to play this week against the Bengals. Against Cincinnati last season, he posted an 8-89-1 line back in Week 5 and a 5-73-0 in the AFC Wildcard game. He'll be in the TE1 conversation this week.

Brandin Cooks not expected to play Week 2
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 16 2023, 11:50 pm
|
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks, listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets, is not expected to play, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday night.
Cooks, 29, suffered a slight sprain of the medial collateral ligament in one knee in a 40-0 victory over the New York Giants in Week 1 (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Cooks missed practice this week so this was the likely outcome. In his absence, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup will be the top two targets on the outside against the Jets with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin also in the mix. Gallup has sneaky upside as a low-owned option in DFS.

Aaron Jones, Christian Watson not expected to play
Key Packers expected to sit Week 2
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 16 2023, 11:45 pm
|
The Green Bay Packers will likely be without two of their top offensive players when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson, both listed as questionable for the game, are expected to be sidelined with hamstring injuries, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Watson was the only one of the duo to get in a limited session on Friday. Green Bay will be short-handed in their matchup against the Falcons. Expect AJ Dillon to handle the bulk of the running back work. He's a viable RB2 based on volume. Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed should be the top two targets at wide receiver for Jordan Love but both are nothing more than Flex options.

Amari Cooper added to injury report, Questionable
Groin injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 16 2023, 12:57 pm
|
#Browns Amari Cooper aggravated his groin injury on Saturday and is questionable for the #Steelers game; Juan Thornhill is questionable too. Kevin Stefanski can't say if he's optimistic Cooper will play. (Mary Kay Cabot on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Cooper got in a full practice on Friday but is now in danger of missing Monday night's game with the Steelers. The Browns would likely lean on Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Njoku in the passing game if Cooper were to miss.

 |
Jerry Jeudy good to go for Week 2
Missed Week 1 with hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2023, 4:18 pm
|
#Broncos coach Sean Payton told reporters that WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday vs. Washington. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jeudy injured his hamstring in late August and missed Week 1 as a result. He should immediately vault into the top receiving option for Russell Wilson and the Broncos who face the Commanders in Week 2. Washington gave up 80 yards to the Cardinals receivers in Week 1.
|
|
|
Austin Ekeler listed as Doubtul, ankle injury
Unlikely to play
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2023, 4:06 pm
|
#Chargers edge Joey Bosa is questionable for Sunday vs. the #Titans. So potentially two stars absent, with Austin Ekeler (ankle) listed as doubtful. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We haven't heard officially if this is a high-ankle sprain for Ekeler but in any case he will miss this week's game against the Titans. Joshua Kelley is expected to start against an historically solid Titans defense that gave up the fewest fantasy points to running backs in Week 1. Kelley is more of a mid-range RB2 based on expected volume.
|
|
|
Puka Nacua Questionable, but expected to play
Oblique
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2023, 2:31 pm
|
Rookie WR Puka Nacua (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers, but Sean McVay said the Rams are expecting him to be ready to go. (Sarah Bishop on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Rams haven't listed their final injury report yet, so this is a good sign that Nacua is likely to be active and play this week in a tough matchup against the 49ers. Nacua tied Tyreek Hill for the most targets (15) by a wide receiver in Week 1 and was a hot option on the waiver wire.
|
|
 |
Travis Kelce expected to play Week 2
Will he be limited?
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2023, 2:06 pm
|
Andy Reid said Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) & Nick Bolton (excused for personal reasons) missed today's practice.
Andy Reid said this on Chris Jones & Travis Kelce: "They did a good job. As long as nothing happens, they'll be out there (Sunday against the Jaguars). (Nate Taylor on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kelce missed Week 1 with a bone bruise, hyper-extended knee but is expected to play against the Jaguars. It's not clear at this time if he'll be limited. Even if he is, he should be in your lineup given state of the tight end position.

Jakobi Meyers unlikely to play in Week 2, concussion
Raiders WR still in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 15 2023, 10:59 am
|
#Raiders coach Josh McDaniels indicates that WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is doubtful to play this week. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Raiders used a lot of two TE sets in Week 1 with Davante Adams and Meyers operating out wide, but with Myers is still in the concussion protocol, the Raiders are likely to increase the opportunities for Hunter Renfrow who played just 22% of the snaps in Week 1. Still, you'll need a leap of faith to play Renfrow in your Flex spot.

Aaron Jones, Christian Watson miss practice Thursday
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 14 2023, 1:14 pm
|
Quay Walker (concussion) is still in the protocol, but he’s progressed to the point where he’s going through some drills.
Aaron Jones (hamstring) had a helmet but stayed inside to rehab. Christian Watson (hamstring) also rehabbing. No David Bakhtiari per usual practice plan. (Rob Demovsky on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Injury of the year thus far is the hamstring. Both Watson and Jones are suffering from it, and both are in doubt for Week 2. If Jones misses, the Packers will likely lean on AJ Dillon who hasn't been a great fantasy asset lately but should get enough volume to be a Flex option.
|

Kenneth Gainwell ruled Out for Week 2
Rib injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 13 2023, 4:12 pm
|
The Eagles have ruled out CB James Bradberry (concussion), RB Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) and S Reed Blankenship (ribs). DT Fletcher Cox (ribs) is questionable. (Andrew Krammer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Gainwell operated as the lead back for the Eagles in Week 1, playing 62% of the snaps. This could open the door for D'Andre Swift and perhaps Rashaad Penny who was inactive. Boston Scott is still in mix as well, but Swift is the most likely to be the biggest beneficiary of this news.

Aaron Rodgers done for the year
Torn Achilles
By: Doug Orth | Sep 12 2023, 11:00 pm
|
An MRI confirmed today that Aaron Rodgers officially tore his Achilles on the fourth play of his Jets’ career. Rodgers’ season now, officially, is over. There already are questions about whether his Hall-of-Fame career is, too. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: As a quarterback set to turn 40 years old in December, there is a distinct possibility that Rodgers calls it a career after such a devastating injury. With that said, the move to New York seemed to bring a joy back to him that likely did not exist over his final years with the Packers. Zach Wilson is expected to be little more than a game manager and should be considered no more than a low-end QB2. At best, he shows enough progress over the course of the season to help Garrett Wilson remain a low-end WR1, but that is a lot to ask.

Greg Dulcich out with hamstring injury, again
Same hamstring issue he dealt with last year
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 12 2023, 10:35 am
|
#Broncos TE Greg Dulcich, the team's pass catching TE that during camp Sean Payton said would play the "Joker" role for Denver at times, is expected to miss some time with a hamstring injury. It's the same hamstring as last year. (James Palmer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Broncos moved on from Albert Okwuegbunam who is now in Philadelphia and have just Adam Trautman and Chris Manhertz. Denver was also without the services of WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) in Week 1. Dulchich has been battling his hamstring issue ever since last season. Trautman will be a TE2 streaming option in Week 2 against the Commanders.

|
|
Diontae Johnson expected to miss multiple weeks, hamstring
Hamstring injury in Week 1
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 12 2023, 9:59 am
|
Steelers’ WR Diontae Johnson is expected to be sidelined “a few weeks” due to the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday vs. the 49ers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Johnson is just one of many players bitten by the hamstring bug this season. The Steelers will move forward with George Pickens, Allen Robinson and Calvin Austin as their top three receivers. Robinson will likely move to the outside with Austin in the slot. Pittsburgh does have a bye in Week 6, so it may not be until Week 7 before Johnson returns.

Achilles injury likely for Aaron Rodgers
Jets lose starting QB just four plays into season
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 11 2023, 11:39 pm
|
Robert Saleh on Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles injury: “MRI is gonna confirm what we think is already gonna happen. But it’s not good.” (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Rodgers was injured on the first Jets' series of the season. An MRI on Tuesday is expected to confirm the news. You have to wonder is the might the last of Aaron Rodgers we seen on the field and this type of injury typically takes at least one year to recover from. Zach Wilson will step in and be the starting QB but he's likely nothing more than a game-manager with low-end QB2 fantasy value. This injury will also take the shine of Garrett Wilson's fantasy value.

Christian Watson optimistic for Week 2
Hamstring injury sidelined him for the opener
By: Doug Orth | Sep 11 2023, 4:40 pm
|
Christian Watson just spoke for a couple of minutes. He said there’s “a lot better chance” he plays Sunday in Atlanta than entering yesterday’s game but that he’s still taking it day by day. To his knowledge, he said, an IR stint has never been a possibility. (The Athletic - Matt Schneidman)
FFToday's Take: At this point, fantasy managers should consider Watson highly questionable for Week 2 - at least until he logs a full practice. Romeo Doubs had a pair of touchdowns in his absence in the opener and would stand to benefit the most again if Watson is sidelined. With that said, the Falcons - and namely A.J. Terrell - are likely to provide much more resistance than the Bears did in WEek 1. If Watson plays, he should be considered a high-upside WR3 option.

Anthony Richardson should be OK for Week 2
Dealing with ankle and knee soreness
By: Doug Orth | Sep 11 2023, 4:30 pm
|
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was sacked four times and took six quarterback hits in his debut Sunday. He also had 10 carries. Richardson hit his knee on the turf in the first quarter and endured a hit on his ankle late in the game. He and Steve Steichen both said after the loss to the Jaguars that Ricardson was fine, and the coach reiterated Monday the quarterback is fine. Steichen said Richardson has knee and ankle soreness and could have returned to the game. (PFT - Charean Williams)
FFToday's Take: Richardson was mostly efficient as a passer and productive as a runner in his NLFL debut, but these kinds of updates will become common for him moving forward if he doesn't learn to avoid contact more often. The No. 4 overall pick left the game for good in the final minutes of Week 1, but it sounds like the hit that sidelined him only took him out because the Colts were trailing by 10 at that point. Assuming he is mostly healthy, Richardson should be on the QB1 radar in Week 2 against the Texans.

Jakobi Meyers dealing with concussion
Posted nine catches in Las Vegas debut before exiting
By: Doug Orth | Sep 11 2023, 4:20 pm
|
Raiders’ WR Jakobi Meyers is in concussion protocol. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Meyers was on the wrong end of a helmet-to-helmet collision late in the Raiders' win over the Broncos in Week 1. The former Patriot did more than enough for fantasy managers before leaving, however, finishing with nine catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns while Davante Adams dealt with Patrick Surtain II for most of the day. Adams will dominate targets more often than not moving forward, but this performance proves Meyers is a more-than-worthy flex option at worst. He should be considered a decent WR3 option next week against the Bills if he clears protocol in time.

J.K. Dobbins done for the season, Achilles injury
2nd significant injury of his career
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 4:34 pm
|
Head Coach John Harbaugh announced that J.K. Dobbins has a torn Achilles and will miss the season. (Baltimore Ravens on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Dobbins missed all of 2021 with a serious knee injury and will miss most of 2023 with his second significant injury of his career. The Ravens will move forward with Justice Hill and Gus Edwards in the short-term but there remain plenty of free agent options available including Leonard Fournette and Kareem Hunt.

Rashaad Penny expected to be a healthy scratch
Eagles making touch decision at RB
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 12:05 pm
|
Running back Rashaad Penny is expected to be a healthy scratch today against the Patriots, league sources tell me and
@jctsports.
Penny, a five-year veteran with a career 5.7-yard rushing average, signed with the Eagles as a free agent in the offseason. (Olivia Reiner on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This comes as a big of a surprise, but does give a bit of a boost to D'Andre Swift's outlook against the Patriots today. Expect Kenneth Gainwell to be in the mix and Boston Scott to be active.

Devon Achane expected to be Inactive Week 1
Raheem Mostert, Salvon Ahmed expected to handle RB work
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 9:20 am
|
Just mentioned on @NFLGameDay: #Dolphins rookie RB Devon Achane is expected to be inactive today against the #Chargers.
The third-round pick from Texas A&M missed time in camp with a shoulder injury and has some rust. Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed will carry the load. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins backfield has been narrowed down to Mostert and Ahmed which makes Mostert a solid RB2 play this week in a high-total (51.5) game against the Chargers who gave up the 7th most fantasy to running backs last season in Half-PPR leagues.

Darren Waller should be good to go for SNF
Tightness in his hamstring Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 7:15 am
|
Per sources, the Giants believe TE Darren Waller (questionable, hamstring) should be ok to play tonight vs Cowboys. Waller reported tightness in his hamstring Friday and team held him back out of caution. (Dan Graziano on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The rash of hamstring injuries throughout the league has bit Waller too but it sounds like he'll be out there against the Cowboys. Waller's fantasy stock has picked up steam throughout training camp as he appears to be the favorite receiving target in the offense. We'll find out tonight if our suspicions are confirmed.

Jerry Jeudy not expected to play in Week 1
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 7:10 am
|
Broncos’ WR Jerry Jeudy, listed as questionable for today due to a hamstring injury, is not expected to play vs. the Raiders, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jeudy got in some limited practice time this week but ultimately will sit out in order to heal his hamstring injury. This elevates the projected target volume for Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims who are fine fantasy options against the Raiders in Week 1.
|
|
|
Romeo Doubs, expected to play but be limited
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 10 2023, 7:00 am
|
Packers’ WR Romeo Doubs, listed as questionable for today’s game due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play vs. the Bears but likely in a limited fashion, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Packers are struggling at receiver heading into Week 1 with Christian Watson missing this game with a hamstring injury of his own. Jayden Reed is squarely in play as DFS punt option and Samori Toure should see extended action as well. Both of these guys are shaky Flex options in redraft leagues.

Mark Andrews unlikely to play Week 1
Quad injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 9 2023, 10:00 pm
|
#Ravens TE Mark Andrews, who has dealt with a quad injury for the last few weeks and is listed as questionable, is not likely to play vs the #Texans, per me and @TomPelissero. A bit of a surprise. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The hits just keep on coming. Another star fantasy player is set to miss Week 1. Without Andrews, Isaiah Likely will be a viable steaming TE option in against the Texans but the Ravens do have three capable receivers to lean on in Andrews’ absence.

Rams place Cooper Kupp on IR, out four games
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 9 2023, 2:01 pm
|
Source: The #Rams are placing star WR Cooper Kupp on Injured Reserve to give him time for his hamstring to heal. Not a surprise, as coach Sean McVay acknowledged this was a possibility this week. He’s out four games. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kupp aggravated his hamstring injury last week and has been traveling across the country looking for answers. Without Kupp, the Rams are lacking stable receiving talent at wideout with Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua expected to be the top three options against the Seahawks in Week 1.
