Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (wrist) is off the team's injury report, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapport. Washington coach Dan Quinn downplayed the QB's throwing-wrist injury earlier this week, and it appears his lack of concern came to fruition, as Daniels will suit up when Washington takes on Green Bay on Thursday Night Football. The Washington offense was slow to start in an unremarkable season-opening win against the New York Giants, but Daniels remains one of the very best options in any fantasy format due to his consistent rushing ability. He's still a starting option even against a tough Packers defense.

According to Ian Rapport of the NFL Network, San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) will miss the next two to five weeks with turf toe. Purdy appeared on the team's injury report with a toe and left shoulder injury on Wednesday. However, it seems this injury is more serious than expected, and the team's QB1 could miss up to the next two weeks of action. As a result,
Mac Jones is slated to serve as the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. In the season opener, Purdy went 26-for-35 with 277 passing yards and two scores en route to defeating the Seattle Seahawks. Last season, Jones saw starting opportunities filling in for the injured
Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. Jones averaged 205.5 passing yards in the eight games in which he logged more than 40 offensive snaps in 2024. He projects to be a risky QB2 in all fantasy formats in Week 2, facing the Saints.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore (abdomen/groin) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. The 28-year-old appeared to have suffered this injury in the fourth quarter of their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. However, seeing him log a full practice on Wednesday suggests the 28-year-old is not in any danger of missing their next game against the Detroit Lions. In their loss to the Vikings, Moore caught three of his five targets for 68 yards. Second-year wideout
Rome Odunze appears to have emerged as
Caleb Williams's top target as he saw nine targets in this contest. Despite this, Moore projects to be a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in a potentially high-scoring game against the Detroit Lions this Sunday.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the NFL has begun a review of the recent domestic violence allegations against Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill. Florio noted that this is standard policy for the NFL. Hill's estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, accused Hill of eight instances of domestic violence. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation as the league could look to discipline the wideout after this investigation concludes. In the season opener, Hill had a quiet day as the entire Miami offense had struggled, as he caught just four of his six targets for 40 yards. Hill had a disappointing 2024 season as well, tallying just 959 yards and six touchdowns. For the time being, Hill is not in any danger of missing their contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots.

According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson may look to give rookie running back
Kyle Monangai more opportunities in the future. When asked about Monangai's usage on Monday, given that he logged nine snaps without any carries, Johnson expressed that "I need to call more runs" and "I need to call more so that we get him in the game a little bit more. That's something EB and I have talked about, making sure he has more carries going forward." In their season opener against the Vikings, veteran
D'Andre Swift ran the ball 17 times and caught three passes. Monangai, the seventh-round rookie out of Rutgers, caught his lone target for 11 yards. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing Monangai as it appears he could carve into Swift's role as the season progresses.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins was slated to practice with the team on Wednesday, but was unable to attend as he was meeting with league officials regarding his domestic battery arrest that occurred in the summer. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network noted that Judkins plans to practice on Thursday and Friday, and the team will determine his availability for Sunday's contest. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported that there has yet to be a definite timeline regarding his current investigation with the league. As a result, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but the former second-round pick may miss Sunday's game as well if he is unable to be built up to game speed over the next few days. If he were to sit out, fellow rookie
Dylan Sampson would likely serve as the leader of the backfield once again in Week 2.

Tennessee Titans rookie running back
Kalel Mullings (ankle) wasn't able to do much on the field during the season opener. He appeared in only a handful of snaps before exiting with an ankle injury. Mullings is now opening Week 2 on the sideline for Wednesday's practice. The absence of Mullings leaves
Julius Chestnut as the lone backup behind
Tony Pollard right now with
Tyjae Spears on Injured Reserve. Mullings will still have a few more days to practice before needing to make a final decision. The rookie back isn't someone who is going to offer much fantasy value right now, but he is worth stashing in dynasty formats. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for another update on his status.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones put together an unbelievable season debut on Sunday. He completed 22-of-29 passing attempts for 272 yards with one touchdown. Jones didn't stop there as he rushed seven times for 26 yards with an additional two scores. I don't think anyone had Jones scoring three touchdowns on their opening week bingo card. It will get more challenging for Jones in Week 2 against a tough Denver Broncos defense. After that, Jones will play the Titans, Rams, and Raiders. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another three-touchdown game for Jones in Week 2. However, he could be an interesting long-term option given the Colts do play some lackluster defenses early in the season.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman (groin) logged a full practice session during Wednesday's practice. This is good news after Coleman was battling a groin injury throughout last week. The groin issue didn't stop him in the season opener as he recorded eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year wideout appears ready to take the next step this season. It appears Coleman and quarterback
Josh Allen have improved chemistry from last season. It was only one game, but this could be a breakout year for Coleman. The 22-year-old should be started in most fantasy formats after that 112-yard season opener.

Denver Broncos tight end
Evan Engram (calf) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Engram was pulled out of the contest with a calf injury and didn't return. Now, Engram will open the week as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like the injury is too serious, so the Broncos are probably just being extra cautious. Barring any setbacks, Engram should be out there versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey (calf, rest) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. This shouldn't come as a surprise after McCaffrey dealt with a calf issue all throughout last week. It didn't stop him from playing as he rushed 22 times for 69 yards while hauling in nine receptions for an additional 73 yards in the season opener. He opens the practice week on the sideline, but that is probably for rest purposes. The 49ers want to give McCaffrey time to fully heal his calf issue. Fantasy managers should expect McCaffrey to be out there for Week 2. He'll remain an elite RB1 as long as he can stay healthy.

Washington Commanders running back
Jeremy McNichols chipped in four carries for 25 yards in addition to his usual contributions in pass protection in Week 1 against the Giants. It was a bit of a question going into the game whether McNichols or
Chris Rodriguez Jr. would be the third running back active or if the team would activate all four backs. They opted for the veteran McNichols, who is an excellent pass protector and core special teams player. That aligns with their approach last season, as McNichols was active for 17 games and made a real impact. Rodriguez had a great training camp in preseason and could be active for games in the future, but McNichols's role as the third back seems safe headed into Thursday night's matchup against the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit aim to keep their strong results going when they host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. With a limited Micah Parsons, the Packers' defense wreaked havoc on the Detroit Lions in Week 1 with four sacks of
Jared Goff and an interception. Keeping track of
Jayden Daniels is going to be a challenging task, but the Packers represent a strong check to Daniels' athleticism with their stout pass rush and linebackers like Edgerrin Cooper. While the Commanders can put up points, the Packers at home are at least a streaming candidate for fantasy managers in Week 2, with the hopes that games like Week 1 against the Lions were the rule and not the exception.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus looks to keep his solid run going in Week 2 as the Packers host the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. McManus kicked two field goals from 38 and 34 yards out and converted all three of his extra point attempts in Week 1 as the Packers beat the Lions 27-19. In the regular season, McManus has missed just one kick in his Packers' career, so he's been reliable. Given that the Packers are on a trajectory to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the NFL, McManus should get plenty of opportunities in the future for Green Bay. He's startable in leagues with a kicker slot if you didn't get one of the top kickers in your draft.

Washington Commanders kicker
Matt Gay did not attempt a field goal in their 21-6 Week 1 win over the Giants, but he converted all three extra points. Gay likely would have had a field-goal opportunity at the end of the first half, but Washington was called for an intentional-grounding penalty with a handful of seconds left and no timeouts left, leaving the clock to run out. The offense had other sloppy moments that ended potential scoring drives early, but they still moved the ball at will. In a projected shootout on Thursday night in Green Bay, Gay should be fired up as one of the top kicker options in Week 2.
