Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman
Max Muncy (head, forearm) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Muncy recently missed some time due to a forearm issue. He returned on Saturday, but was hit in the head by a pitch during Saturday's game. As a result, Muncy will take a seat on Sunday to rest. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.
Enrique Hernandez will cover third base and eighth versus left-hander
Robbie Ray. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Muncy ahead of Monday's game.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie first-round defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. The rookie finishes Week 2 with two tackles. With Stewart sidelined, Myles Murphy should earn more defensive snaps as a rotational piece behind Trey Hendrickson and Joseph Ossai.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
KaVontae Turpin (neck) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially questionable to return. He had been heavily involved prior to his departure, catching four passes for 47 yards and a touchdown, rushing for six yards, and returning four kicks for an additional 100 yards.
Jalen Tolbert and
Ryan Flournoy should pick up some of Turpin's offensive snaps until he can return. Tolbert will also handle Turpin's kick and punt return responsibilities.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields (head) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He was taken to the locker room and is being evaluated for a concussion. At the time of his departure, he had completed just three of 11 pass attempts for 27 yards through the air, and he also added 49 rushing yards.
Tyrod Taylor has entered the game and will lead the Jets' offense until Fields is cleared to return. If Fields officially enters concussion protocol, Taylor would likely be in line to start next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions and is officially doubtful to return. Edwards was dealing with a hamstring earlier this week, so it's possible that he re-aggravated that same injury. With Chicago trailing by multiple possessions, it's unlikely they'll try to get Edwards back into the contest. Assuming his day is done, he finishes Week 2 with four tackles. Noah Sewell should assume a larger role on defense for the duration of Edwards' absence.

September 14, 2025
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old had been listed as questionable after exiting earlier in the contest. He finishes the game with a pair of tackles. Jaylon Jones and Nahshon Wright will earn more defensive snaps in Johnson's absence.
--Andersen PickardSource: Chris Emma
September 14, 2025
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 2. He exited in the first half and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the week 7-for-13 passing with 76 passing yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions.
Jake Browning took over for Burrow and has kept the Bengals playing a close game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for additional updates on Burrow's status once the Week 2 contest in Cincinnati comes to an end.

September 14, 2025
Indianapolis Colts defensive end Laiatu Latu (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Denver Broncos. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport previously noted that Latu's injury is not believed to be serious, so his absence on Sunday likely indicates the Colts are erring on the side of caution. Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis should earn more defensive snaps in Latu's absence.

Carolina Panthers left tackle Ikem Ekwonu (appendix) is officially active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old has spent several weeks recovering from an appendectomy and missed the Panthers' season opener, so Week 2 represents his season debut. Yosh Nijman (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday, somewhat surprisingly, which means Brady Christensen will operate as Ekwonu's backup.

September 14, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury. Highsmith is a key piece of Pittsburgh's pass rush opposite star edge rusher T.J. Watt. Without Highsmith, third-year edge rusher/linebacker Nick Herbig is likely to receive more playing time. Herbig had 5.5 sacks in 13 games last season for Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) is questionable to return to his team's Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a toe injury, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Burrow was taken into the locker room with assistance from trainers and was limping heavily. It remains to be seen whether Burrow will be able to return on Sunday, but the fact that he was not immediately ruled out by the team has to be considered a positive sign.

September 14, 2025
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman
Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is set to rejoin the team ahead of the game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Arenado appears ready to return after playing in a pair of games at Double-A Springfield. The veteran slugger has been sidelined since early August due to a right shoulder strain. The assumption is that he'll be activated and in the starting lineup on Monday. Fantasy managers should check back for official confirmation ahead of Monday's game. The 34-year-old offers enough upside to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

September 14, 2025
Denver Broncos running back
Jaleel McLaughlin is a healthy scratch for his team's Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin was also inactive in Week 1, so this decision from the team does not necessarily come as a surprise. Without McLaughlin, Denver will roll with the running back trio of
J.K. Dobbins,
RJ Harvey, and
Tyler Badie.

September 14, 2025
Los Angeles Angels shortstop
Zach Neto (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This marks the third game in a row that Neto will miss after injuring his hand during Thursday's contest. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking to see Neto land on the injured list. For now, the Angels will take it day-by-day and keep Neto on the bench.
Denzer Guzman will draw his second straight start at shortstop during Sunday's game. He could offer some deep league value if Neto does land on the shelf.

September 14, 2025
Detroit Lions tight end
Shane Zylstra (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of his team's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. Zylstra is the Lions' third-string tight end behind
Sam LaPorta and
Brock Wright. His absence may mean a slight uptick in snaps for the remainder of Week 2 for LaPorta.
--Will BradySource: Detroit Lions
September 14, 2025
San Diego Padres first baseman
Luis Arraez (head) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Arraez was removed during Saturday's game after getting hit in the head by a ball during pre-inning warmups. The team has decided to take the cautious approach and hold him out of this game. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.
Ryan O'Hearn will cover first base while
Jake Cronenworth plays second base during Sunday's contest. The expectation is that Arraez will be back in the lineup early next week.
--Andy WebbSource: mlb.com
September 14, 2025
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) is questionable to return to his team's Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a groin injury. Johnson missed Week 1 due to a groin injury, so this could be a re-aggravation of the existing ailment. Johnson is the Bears' top cover corner, so his absence would make life considerably easier for Lions quarterback
Jared Goff and the rest of the Detroit passing game.
--Will BradySource: Chicago Bears
September 14, 2025
Texas Rangers outfielder
Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Garcia is in right field and batting cleanup after missing nearly two weeks of action due to a quad injury. It has been a down year for Garcia, but he remains a threat to go deep at any time. He has 18 home runs, 73 RBI, and 13 steals across 125 games this season. Fantasy managers who have Garcia rostered should get him activated on Sunday.

September 14, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Alex Highsmith (ankle) is doubtful to return to his team's Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury. Highsmith is a key piece of the Steelers' pass rush, recording 28.5 sacks in 46 games since the start of 2022. If he is unable to return, the job on Sunday will get easier for Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold and the rest of the Seattle pass game.

September 14, 2025
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (leg) was taken to the locker room on Sunday due to an apparent left leg injury. Burrow was limping heavily and required assistance from the training staff to get off the field. More will be known about the injury once the team releases an official update, but a Burrow injury would obviously be a massive blow for both fantasy managers and the Bengals' offense.
--Will BradySource: CBS - Jonathan Jones
September 14, 2025
Houston Astros second baseman
Jose Altuve (foot) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Altuve will head to the bench after exiting early during Saturday's game due to right foot discomfort. The Astros will take the cautious approach and hold out Altuve for at least one game. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on his status. For now, fantasy managers should consider Altuve as day-to-day.
Zach Cole takes over in left field while
Mauricio Dubon plays second base on Sunday.

September 14, 2025
San Francisco 49ers fullback
Kyle Juszczyk (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints. Juszczyk is a key piece of the San Francisco offense as both a blocker and receiver. The 49ers entered the game already without quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe), tight end
George Kittle (hamstring), and wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk (knee). Juszczyk's absence may create even more reason for San Francisco to get the ball in the hands of star running back
Christian McCaffrey.
--Will BradySource: San Francisco 49ers
September 14, 2025
San Diego Padres third baseman
Manny Machado is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Machado will receive his first rest day of the season after playing in the first 149 games of the season. He has earned a rest day after going 4-for-10 with two home runs and four RBI through the first three games of the series.
Jose Iglesias will take over at third base and bat seventh versus right-hander
German Marquez. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
--Andy WebbSource: mlb.com
September 14, 2025
The Cleveland Browns announced that wide receiver
DeAndre Carter (concussion) will not return to Sunday's game against Baltimore due to the injury. The veteran made the team out of training camp largely because of his special teams contributions. Primarily the team's kick returner, the absence will leave Cleveland without one of its key special teamers for the rest of the game.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Cleveland Browns
September 14, 2025
The Baltimore Ravens have ruled out running back
Rasheen Ali (concussion) from returning to Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. A key special teamer for the Ravens will be out of the picture for at least the rest of this week. Additionally, Baltimore did not activate running back
Keaton Mitchell ahead of the game, so the club has only its top two running backs,
Derrick Henry and
Justice Hill, available for the remainder of Sunday.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Brian Wacker

The Buffalo Bills can exhale after quarterback
Josh Allen (nose) has returned to the game against the New York Jets after taking a shot to the face. The superstar QB departed the game after being bloodied when he was sandwiched between two Jets defenders, a collision that popped him in the nose. Allen wasn't out for long, though, as the Bills' medical staff put gauze up one nostril and got back him on the field. Fantasy managers rostering the QB1 can forge ahead as usual.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Tom Pelissero
September 14, 2025
The Detroit Lions said tight end
Shane Zylstra (ankle) is questionable to return to the game Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The reserve came off the field with a bit of a limp after sustaining the injury, which could leave the Lions without a key special teamer. From a fantasy perspective, Zylstra is pretty far off the radar with starting tight end
Sam LaPorta handling the vast majority of the receiving work.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Detroit Lions
September 14, 2025
Baltimore Ravens running back
Rasheen Ali (concussion) is being further evaluated after taking a blow to the head on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the team announced. Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell is inactive again for Baltimore, so the team is temporarily down to just
Derrick Henry and
Justice Hill at running back. Ali, also a special teamer for the Ravens, is mostly on the back burner from a fantasy perspective due to a lack of carries behind Henry and quarterback in
Lamar Jackson.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Baltimore Ravens
September 14, 2025
The Cleveland Browns said wide receiver
DeAndre Carter (concussion) left Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens to be evaluated in the locker room. The veteran does not have a target yet this season, as his primary role for Cleveland is to be a return man, so the Browns likely will have to look elsewhere if he misses any time. In any case, Carter doesn't hold much fantasy value outside of leagues of that have a designated kick returner spot.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: Cleveland Browns
September 14, 2025
New York Jets wide receiver
Allen Lazard will make his 2025 debut in Week 2 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday after he was a healthy scratch in the season-opening loss last Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lazard might only be active because
Josh Reynolds is out with a hamstring injury. Although it's notable for New York's passing attack, we wouldn't recommend the 29-year-old as a streaming option this weekend, even in deep fantasy leagues.
Garrett Wilson will continue to draw the majority of aerial targets from quarterback
Justin Fields. Lazard, who has struggled with drops in his two seasons with the Jets, will be competing for targets with
Tyler Johnson mostly. Last year in New York, Lazard bounced back from a rough 2023 campaign to catch 37 passes for 530 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games (10 starts).
