Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin (eye, elbow) will not play in Week 2 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens after he was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. Conklin was a game-time decision for this one, but apparently, he wasn't feeling good enough during pre-game workouts. With the 31-year-old veteran sidelined, it will be a downgrade for Cleveland's offensive line at right tackle. Expect Cornelius Lucas to make the start in Conklin's place against a Ravens defense that got steamrolled in Week 1 by the Buffalo Bills. The Browns' offense isn't anywhere close to the level of Buffalo, though, so this could be a problem on the right edge for quarterback
Joe Flacco and the running game on Sunday.

New York Jets rookie tight end
Mason Taylor (ankle) is officially active and will play on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium. Taylor was listed as questionable on the final Week 2 injury report, but he will be available for the Jets and fantasy managers. The 21-year-old second-rounder played 88 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he only had one catch (on one target) for 20 yards, despite the team putting up 30 points. He'll be looking to increase his production against a Bills defense that just gave up 40 points to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, although Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews only had one catch for five yards. Fantasy managers should consider Taylor more of a TE3 on Sunday in just his second NFL game.

Buffalo Bills veteran wide receiver
Curtis Samuel is once again a healthy inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional contest on the road against the New York Jets. Samuel was also a healthy scratch for the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday night. Right now, the 29-year-old is buried on Buffalo's receiver depth chart, thanks to the offseason additions of
Joshua Palmer and
Elijah Moore.
Khalil Shakir,
Keon Coleman, and
Tyrell Shavers are also ahead of him. Samuel should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats for now. In his first year with Buffalo in 2024, he caught 31 of his 46 targets for 253 yards and only one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts).

Miami Dolphins running back
Jaylen Wright (knee), who was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, is officially out for Sunday's Week 2 divisional clash against the New England Patriots. Wright had a minor surgery on his right knee in late August and was always expected to miss time early in the 2025 season. With a quick turnaround next Thursday night in another divisional tilt against the Buffalo Bills, Wright is probably going to be facing an uphill battle to make his season debut. When fully healthy, the explosive and fast Wright should operate as
De'Von Achane's primary backup. Miami's offense looked terrible in the Week 1 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, giving rookie
Ollie Gordon II limited opportunities to make noise behind Achane. Fantasy managers should not be starting Gordon against the Pats with Wright out again.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver
Efton Chism III is once again a healthy scratch for Week 2 on Sunday versus the division-rival Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Chism impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, but it wasn't enough to put him on the active game-day roster the first two weeks of 2025. The 23-year-old was an undrafted free agent and has more work to do to get on the field on Sundays in his first NFL season. For now, he's just a bench stash in deep dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues. At the moment, he's blocked by receivers
Stefon Diggs,
DeMario Douglas,
Kayshon Boutte,
Mack Hollins, and
Kyle Williams. If an injury arises to any of New England's receivers, Chism will likely be the first to benefit.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. His absence was widely expected; he missed all three practices this week and was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. It's a crushing blow for the Seahawks' defense, especially as they prepare for a Steelers receiving corps led by old friend
DK Metcalf. Cornerback Josh Jobe, who allowed just one catch on five targets in Week 1, will likely step up as Witherspoon's replacement on defense.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable, and while there was some concern after he missed two practices this week, he was able to return in a limited capacity on Friday. Now, after testing his knee during pregame warmups Sunday, Williams is good to go. His presence will be key for the 49ers as he works to protect the backfield, as well as quarterback
Mac Jones' blindside. Williams being active is refreshing for the 49ers and their fans, who haven't received very much good news on the injury front lately.
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) opened the season on IR, and now
George Kittle (hamstring) and
Brock Purdy (shoulder) are both expected to miss time. This offense should run through
Christian McCaffrey, which is one of many reasons why it's good for the 49ers that Williams is active.

Tennessee Titans rookie running back
Kalel Mullings (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Week 2 against the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Mullings made his NFL debut in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos as the RB3 behind
Tony Pollard and
Julius Chestnut, but was quickly injured in the first half on special teams. The 22-year-old sixth-rounder didn't see a single touch on offense in the 20-12 loss in Denver. With
Tyjae Spears (ankle) on Injured Reserve and set to miss at least the first four weeks of the season, Tennessee's backfield depth behind Pollard and Chestnut is dangerously thin. Now that Mullings is out, the Titans were forced to bring up
Jordan Mims from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Rams. He'll operate as the team's No. 3 RB in Week 2.

Dallas Cowboys running back
Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. The fifth-round rookie has now been a healthy scratch for each of the Cowboys' first two games of the season. In his absence,
Miles Sanders will serve as the backup running back behind
Javonte Williams. Sanders and Williams are the Cowboys' only two active running backs, but fullback
Hunter Luepke should also see some blocking work in the backfield. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be patient with Blue and hold onto him, as it's likely only a matter of time before he's active as the No. 3 running back or leapfrogs Miles Sanders for the backup job.

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. While Thomas did manage to log two limited practices this week, he still wasn't expected to play as the Giants listed him as doubtful. Thomas missed the season opener, too, so this is his second consecutive absence. James Hudson III will step in as the Giants' starting left tackle as New York looks to slow down Dallas' defense in a divisional rivalry contest.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Having Robinson available will be key for the Giants, as he's their second-best option in the passing game behind
Malik Nabers. The 24-year-old was productive in last week's season opener, catching six of eight targets for 55 yards. He should continue to deliver similar productivity this week against the Cowboys, as the Giants are expected to throw the ball a lot while playing from behind. He ranks as a mid-range WR3/flex, especially in PPR leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Jahdae Walker (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as doubtful after missing practice on Friday. The 23-year-old did suit up in last week's season opener, but he only played on special teams. Chicago should have no trouble replacing him on special teams this week, and his absence has no impact on the Bears' offense or fantasy managers' lineups.

For the second straight week to begin the 2025 season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Jermaine Burton is a healthy inactive for the Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burton had a pretty rough rookie season in 2024 that involved some maturity issues, but he got rave reviews during training camp in the summer. For now, though,
Charlie Jones is ahead of him as the team's WR4 behind
Ja'Marr Chase,
Tee Higgins, and
Andrei Iosivas. The 24-year-old former third-rounder caught four passes for 107 yards on 14 targets in 14 games in his rookie season. Burton isn't anywhere close to the fantasy radar in redraft leagues right now.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant. The 24-year-old played every defensive snap last week but registered just one tackle. He'll look to make a bigger impact this week, and we expect him to return to his 2024 form soon. Last season, he intercepted nine passes and was named a First-Team All-Pro.

Detroit Lions running back
Sione Vaki (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. He was limited in practice this week but was not expected to play after the Lions listed him as doubtful. The 24-year-old played in 16 games last year, totaling 51 scrimmage yards, but has not yet stepped on the field in his second pro campaign.
Craig Reynolds will continue to operate as the Lions' No. 3 running back behind
Jahmyr Gibbs and
David Montgomery.
