Giants WR Darius Slayton has cleared concussion protocol and will play vs. the Commanders this weekend. He ran well ahead of WR Jalin Hyatt in the opener, registering a 79% route rate. You shouldn’t need to use Slayton in season-long lineups, but he could be a cheap DFS tournament flier in Sunday’s plus matchup.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. After being added on Thursday and limited in practice with a knee, he was a full participant in Friday's workout. The rookie should be ready for a full workload in Sunday's pristine matchup vs. the Commanders.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week. The Packers really don’t want to have to start QB Malik Willis, so they’re holding out hope for Love. But he’s a long shot to play this weekend with what’s been reported as a multi-week knee injury.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts after a limited week of practice. We’ll see if the rookie is ready to make his debut, but he’s not a Week 2 fantasy option.
Colts K Matt Gay (hernia) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll kick vs. the Packers on Sunday after missing the opener. With the Colts sporting a middling 21.75-point implied total, Gay isn’t a great fantasy option.
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. But HC Shane Steichen has labeled him a game-time decision. Downs shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups in his first game off a high-ankle sprain. But his return would threaten the playing time of WR Alec Pierce and, especially, WR Adonai Mitchell.
Lions WR Jameson Williams (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. He appeared to tweak an ankle early in last week’s game vs. the Rams – before exploding for 121 yards and a score. So we’re expecting Williams to play against Tampa Bay, but you’ll need to check back on his status on Sunday morning.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Panthers. He went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. Even if he ends up playing on Sunday, try to avoid Palmer in fantasy lineups. His absence could send a few extra targets WR Ladd McConkey’s way.
Saints WR A.T. Perry (hand) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. Perry ran as New Orleans’ No. 4 WR this preseason and is not on the fantasy radar right now.
After missing the first two practices of the week, Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) put in a full workout on Friday and is off the final injury report. It looks like he’ll be available for his usual role vs. the Bears on Sunday night. Schultz checks in 12th in the Week 2 TE Rankings.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is listed as questionable for this Sunday night’s game vs. the Bears. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of questionable. Pierce’s absence would give Cam Akers a crack at No. 2 RB duties. He’s obviously not a fantasy option behind a healthy Joe Mixon. But we’ll see if Akers can do enough on Sunday night to potentially move past Pierce on the depth chart.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey will officially not play again for Week 2 due to his Achilles injury. Despite getting in limited practices all week, McCaffrey will miss his second straight game to open the season with RB Jordan Mason taking over the starting role like he did against the Jets. HC Kyle Shanahan said that IR is a possibility for McCaffrey
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III did not practice all week and has been given doubtful status for Week 2. It is highly unlikely that Walker will play against the Patriots, making RB Zach Charbonnet the lead back for the Seahawks with Kenny McIntosh as the back-up
After suffering a bone bruise and MCL sprain, Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is officially doubtful for Week 2. It was unlikely that he would play so soon after the injury, but there was some optimism around his potential to play through the injury. After not practicing all week, it is very very unlikely that Ferguson suits up.
Packers WR Jayden Reed was added to the injury report after a limited practice on Friday, according to HC Matt LaFleur. It appears Reed is still in line to play on Sunday for the Packers, but it adds another layer of caution to starting Reed while QB Malik Willis is also starting.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Texans. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Fantasy owners still shouldn’t be counting on the rookie in Week 2 fantasy lineups, especially with the late kickoff. But Odunze clearly avoided a significant injury and should at least be back by Week 3.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed Allen's injury on Wednesday, but Allen wound up missing all three practices. We'll look for further updates on Allen's Week 2 status. The late kickoff could make it a tricky situation for fantasy owners.
Vikings WR Jordan Addison has been ruled out with a right ankle injury for Week 2. Addison injured his left ankle during training camp and dealt with that injury for most of camp. In Week 1, Addison injured his right ankle and did not practice all week.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s avoided IR, which means the team believes he has a good chance to be back before Week 6. But it’ll be Jordan Akins as Cleveland’s lead TE this weekend. He’d be a desperation fantasy play.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. HC Mike Tomlin admitted Friday that Wilson's chances of starting that game are "less than questionable," per ESPN's Brooke Pryor. QB Justin Fields is in line to get another start and has exciting rushing upside against a bad Denver run defense.
