LeGarrette Blount, Ezekiel Ansah Expected To Play

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (shoulder) and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) are expected to play in Week 2 against the 49ers. Blount was rarely used in the opener, but the Lions were also down big for most of the game. Expect him to be more actively used in this one, but his between-the-tackles […]

Martavis Bryant Appealing Year-Long Suspension

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant will be allowed to play while his year-long suspension is under appeal, according to sources. His camp is confident that he has a chance to win the appeal, too, which is expected to be heard in the next couple of weeks. Oakland re-signed Bryant this week after releasing him […]

Jameis Winston May Not Start When He Returns

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may hold off on using quarterback Jameis Winston as their starter when he returns from a three-week suspension, according to sources. On a short week after playing on Monday in Week 3, the Bucs may stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick for at least another week. Winston has the team's best interests in […]

Greg Olsen Hopes To Return In 4-5 Weeks

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is hoping to return in four to five weeks after he broke the same bone in his foot as last year in Week 1. Olsen is doing everything he can for a quick return. The good news is that he wasn't put on Injured Reserve, so the Panthers […]

Cameron Meredith Inactive Again

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is a healthy inactive once again in Week 2 against the Browns. Meredith was behind in training camp and the preseason after missing all of last year with a knee injury, and he clearly needs to get a better grasp of the playbook before the Saints are comfortable […]

J'Mon Moore, Equanimeous St. Brown Not Playing

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receivers J'mon Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown are inactive as healthy scratches in Week 2 against the Vikings. Moore and St. Brown clearly have work to do to gain quarterback Aaron Rodgers' trust in their rookie seasons. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Scantling-Valdes are both ahead of them on the depth […]

Roc Thomas, Mike Boone Inactive

Minnesota Vikings rookie running backs Roc Thomas (ankle) and Mike Boone are inactive in Week 2 against the Packers. That means that only Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray will be active in the backfield against Green Bay. Thomas has yet to be active in his rookie season.

Ray-Ray McCloud Inactive

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) and tight end Khari Lee are inactive in Week 2 against the Chargers. No receiver is really worth a look in fantasy on the Bills besides Kelvin Benjamin, and even he is a shaky option with rookie Josh Allen taking over this weekend.

Travis Benjamin Not Playing Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) is inactive in Week 2 against the Bills. Benjamin was a game-time decision for this one, but he won't suit up. His absence is good news for Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams in a great matchup against a Buffalo defense that got smoked by the Ravens in […]

Jordan Leggett Inactive

New York Jets tight end Jordan Leggett is inactive in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Leggett is a healthy scratch and is behind tight ends Eric Tomlinson, Neal Sterling and rookie Christopher Herndon IV. Leggett is obviously not worth owning in fantasy leagues.

Kalen Ballage A Healthy Scratch

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kalen Ballage remains inactive in Week 2 against the Jets. Quarterback David Fales is also a healthy scratch. Ballage has nice upside in this backfield, but he's well behind starters Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore, making him not worth owning in single-year leagues.

Antonio Callaway Set To Start

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway is set to start in Week 2 against the Saints with the team looking to trade or release Josh Gordon (hamstring), who is inactive. Callaway's fantasy stock is obviously on the rise now that Gordon is out of the picture. He had no catches in the season opener, […]

Blaine Gabbert Warming Up With Starters

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert is taking snaps with the starters in warmups before the Week 2 game against the Texans. Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active but is dealing with a pinched nerve in his elbow and may not play much, if at all, in this game. Mariota should obviously be avoided by fantasy owners, […]

Aaron Rodgers Wearing Large Brace

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is wearing a large brace on his left knee during warmups on Sunday. He will play against the Vikings, but this is a very tough matchup and Rodgers is clearly at less than 100 percent with an injury that could cause him to leave the game at some […]

Ben Roethlisberger Is Active

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is active for Week 2 against the Chiefs. Offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) are inactive. Wide receiver Justin Hunter and quarterback Mason Rudolph are healthy scratches. Big Ben was always expected to play in this one, and he has a great matchup against the […]

Eric Berry Not Playing

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) is inactive in Week 2 against the Steelers. Running back Darrel Williams (shoulder) is also inactive. Berry hasn't practiced since early August and doesn't look close to returning at all. For a Chiefs secondary that is already week, his absence is a blow to this defense. Steelers quarterback […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Active Against Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) is active in Week 2 against the Eagles. This is good news for a Bucs defensive front that will rely heavily on JPP to get pressure on the opposing quarterback. Although Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has a much better matchup this weekend, having Pierre-Paul in the fold […]

Ronald Jones II A Healthy Scratch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II is inactive in Week 2 against the Eagles as a healthy scratch. Jones was a disaster in the preseason and has fallen down the depth chart as a result behind Peyton Barber, Jacquizz Rodgers and fellow rookie Shaun Wilson. Jones should still be stashed in dynasty […]

DeSean Jackson Active In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) passed his concussion tests and is active in Week 2 against his old team, the Eagles. Jackson went off for 146 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1, but he'll be facing a much tougher secondary this weekend, making him a boom-or-bust WR4/flex play for his […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller Active

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and Will Fuller (hamstring) are both active in Week 2 against the Titans. Hopkins is an elite WR1 and is a must-start anytime he's playing. Fuller sat out in Week 1, so he'll be making his season debut. He clicked in a big way with quarterback Deshaun Watson […]

Paul Richardson Active Against Colts

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder) is active for Week 2 against the Colts. Wide receiver Maurice Harris and running back Samaje Perine are out. Richardson had four catches for just 22 yards on six targets in the season opener but has a solid matchup this weekend against Indy's secondary. Still, he's likely behind […]

Christine Michael A Healthy Scratch

Indianapolis Colts running back Christine Michael is inactive in Week 2 against the Redskins. With Marlon Mack returning to make his season debut, Michael is the odd man out behind rookies Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines. The Colts should work Mack back into the rotation in this committee backfield, and while he should see most […]

Jadeveon Clowney Not Playing Sunday

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back, elbow) is inactive for Week 2 against the Titans. It's a blow for the Texans in a great matchup against a beat up Titans offensive line. Houston should still be able to push forward with success, but Clowney's IDP owners are bummed, as this was a matchup that […]

Davante Adams Active Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (shoulder) is active in Week 2 against the Vikings. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will also play, so that's good news for Adams. The bad news is Rodgers will be less than 100 percent and Adams is facing a very tough matchup in Minnesota's sticky secondary. Temper your expectations […]

Aaron Rodgers Active

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is active for Week 2 against the Vikings. "He has a pretty unusual injury that would keep most people out awhile," one source told ESPN. Rodgers was told this week that his left knee injury could take up to a couple of months to heal, but he doesn't […]

Marcus Mariota Active But Could Be Limited

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active for Week 2 against the Texans, but he did not do much in pre-game warmups and he continues to struggle with gripping the football. Mariota is dealing with a pinched nerve in his throwing elbow and still has not regained complete feeling in his fingers, according to […]

Jay Ajayi Expected To See Bigger Workload

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is expected to see a bigger workload with Darren Sproles (hamstring) inactive for Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement will also see some touches. Ajayi is a strong RB2 this weekend and should see more consistent touches than he did in the season opener.

Marcus Cannon Ruled Out

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (calf) and defensive back Keion Crossen (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Jaguars. It's bad news for a Patriots team already dealing with injuries to running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee). The Patriots figure to do a lot of short […]

Shaquill Griffin Will Play Monday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) will play on Monday against the Bears, according to head coach Pete Carroll. That's good news with Tre Flowers (hamstring) already ruled out. Still, Seattle's secondary is weakened despite safety Earl Thomas' presence. It's good news for Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky and his receiving weapons on Monday night.

Christian Kirk, Chad Williams To Be More Involved

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk and Chad Williams figure to get more opportunities to produce in Week 2 against the Rams after they both had quiet debuts in Week 1. The Cardinals could be playing a lot of catch-up against Los Angeles, too, forcing the Cardinals to throw the ball often. Still, both Kirk […]
