According to the team, the Tennessee Titans have elevated running back
Jordan Mims to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. With teammate
Kalel Mullings (ankle) doubtful for Week 2 with an ankle injury, the 26-year-old will step in and suit up for the first time this season. In Week 1, Mullings was technically Tennessee's third option out of the backfield. However, he did not garner a snap on offense, while
Tony Pollard dominated with a robust 89% snap share. Pollard is likely to handle a hefty workload again in another tough matchup, with
Julius Chestnut mixing in sparsely behind. Mims could fall victim to the same fate as Mullings and participate only on special teams. Either way, he'll be there in case Chestnut and Pollard need a spell.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Luke Goedeke (foot) has garnered a questionable tag heading into their Monday night road matchup with the Houston Texans. Goedeke was out there for all of Tampa Bay's snaps in last weekend's win over the Falcons, but apparently picked up a foot injury in the process. After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, the Michigan native got in a limited session on Saturday to be officially deemed questionable. With fellow offensive lineman Graham Barton working at center, one of Charlie Heck or Benjamin Chukwuma will take over on the edge if Goedeke can't suit up. Heck and Chukwuma are the Buccaneers' only remaining tackles without an injury designation.

Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson (concussion) is officially ruled out for Monday night's home matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The former second-round pick started the week on Thursday as a full participant, but popped up on Las Vegas' practice report on Friday and closed out the week with two DNPs. It's unclear precisely when Powers-Johnson picked up the injury, as he participated on 100% of the team's snaps in their win over the Patriots in Week 1. Teammate Alex Cappa figures to get the start at guard while the 22-year-old is shelved, although Caleb Rogers may get some work, too.

The Atlanta Falcons have placed defensive back Jordan Fuller (knee) on Injured Reserve. Fuller picked up a knee injury in last weekend's loss to the Buccaneers, forcing Atlanta to rule him out for their Week 2 outing with the hosting Minnesota Vikings. Now, he'll miss at least the next four games. It's unfortunate news for the Falcons, as their defensive backfield is suddenly, alarmingly thin. Teammates Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts are currently the only healthy safeties on the active roster, so Billy Bowman Jr. (shoulder) figures to handle another sizable snap share Sunday night. However, he's questionable with a shoulder injury. If Bowman Jr. can't go, Dee Alford projects to see an extended look at nickel.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins will "have his snaps closely monitored" throughout Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. However, Rapoport added the rookie will still "have the snaps of a backup RB." Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com indicated that Judkins will "get about a dozen carries" in Week 2. As a result, it appears
Dylan Sampson and
Jerome Ford should handle most of the work out of the backfield on Sunday, meaning leaving Judkins on fantasy benches may be the safest way to go. With that said, the Browns hope he takes over as the No. 1 option on the depth chart, so it may be only a matter of time before he works his way into fantasy lineups on a full-time basis. That process might be accelerated depending on how he does in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is considered a "game-time decision" for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints, although a source says there is optimism he'll be active. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. He didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday. However, Jennings logged a limited session on Friday, although it still wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation. With
George Kittle (hamstring) out,
Ricky Pearsall and
Christian McCaffrey should see plenty of attention from quarterback
Mac Jones if Jennings doesn't play. Jennings will work out before the opening kickoff. If he's cleared to suit up, he's a must-start in any fantasy format.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Casey Washington (concussion) did not pass the league's concussion protocol and will be inactive on Sunday against the Vikings. The 24-year-old had his best game in the NFL last week, hauling in three of his six targets for 33 yards, but suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of the contest. The University of Illinois product's six targets were fourth-most on the team and more than veteran
Ray-Ray McCloud III's five targets, potentially signaling a changing of the guard for the third wide receiver spot in the Atlanta offense, but it was likely more a product of
Darnell Mooney's absence in Week 1 than anything else. With Mooney expected to play in Week 2 but with Washington out, we'll have to see how things shake out in Week 3 in order to get a better feel for Washington's role in this offense. For now, Washington can be left to the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said the team is working with quarterback
Caleb Williams on being more consistent with his footwork to improve his accuracy as a thrower. Per ESPN's Courtney Cronin, Johnson said that there were "probably three or four" throws from Williams' Week 1 performance against the Minnesota Vikings that "we would want back." Williams completed 60% of his 35 pass attempts against Minnesota for 210 yards and a touchdown. He gets a decent matchup in Week 2 against a Detroit Lions defense that may be without All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph (knee). Still, Williams is tough for fantasy managers to trust until he proves he can be more consistent. Williams profiles as a fantasy QB2 in Week 2 who can be started in Superflex leagues but should be avoided in single-QB formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen praised running back
Travis Etienne Jr. after Etienne's big performance in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Per ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Coen had this to say about Etienne Jr.: "It took some time early on in terms of understanding the demands and the standards. Once (Etienne Jr.) really got on the same page, it's been doing this (upward motion)." The Jaguars traded running back
Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles following Week 1, clearing the way for Etienne Jr. and rookie
Bhayshul Tuten to dominate touches in Jacksonville. Etienne Jr. profiles as a fantasy RB2 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

New Orleans Saints tight end
Juwan Johnson has been a favorite target of current Saints quarterback
Spencer Rattler. Johnson was Rattler's most targeted receiver (33) in 2024, and he led New Orleans in targets (eight) in Week 1 of 2025. Per ESPN's Katherine Terrell, Rattler said that he and Johnson have a "great connection going back to last year." Johnson could be a sneaky low-end fantasy starter at tight end early in the season, particularly while Saints tight ends
Taysom Hill (knee) and
Foster Moreau (knee) remain sidelined.

Miami Dolphins kicker
Riley Patterson has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Patterson will once again serve as the kicker in Miami with
Jason Sanders (hip) still sidelined. He didn't attempt any kicks during the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. The Dolphins were blown out during that game, so Patterson wasn't needed. Hopefully, Patterson will actually get to attempt some kicks this week. The Dolphins offense looked awful in Week 1, so Patterson isn't someone who should be trusted as a viable source for fantasy points right now.

Miami Dolphins running back
Jeff Wilson Jr. was elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Wilson is back on the active roster for the second straight week. The Dolphins are likely without
Jaylen Wright (knee), so Wilson will serve as depth once again. Wilson only took one snap last week and is unlikely to have a significant role on Sunday. The 29-year-old is being brought up as depth, so he'll probably stand on the sideline unless an injury happens. Wilson has put together a few solid seasons during his career. However, he's not someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats at the moment.

New York Giants quarterback
Russell Wilson doesn't appear to be on the hot seat at the moment. After a lackluster season opener, Wilson's starting job was being called into question by the media. Despite that, the Giants are going to stay committed to Wilson as their starting quarterback. According to Adam Schefter, there is no urgency for the Giants to make a change at quarterback. As expected, the Giants want
Jaxson Dart to sit behind Wilson and develop. The Giants don't want to rush an inexperienced quarterback onto the field. It sounds like for the moment, Wilson will remain the starter, but he could also play himself out of the starting job.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Zaire Mitchell-Paden was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell-Paden was elevated for the season opener as well, but failed to record a stat during the game. He played a total of 22 snaps, but really didn't do much with his time on the field. He'll serve as depth at tight end with
Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined again. He's unlikely to bring much to the table, but the absence of Likely means increase the fantasy value of
Mark Andrews for Sunday's contest.
--Andy WebbSource: Aaron Wilson

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Adrian Martinez has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Martinez was signed to the 49ers practice squad after failing to make the New York Jets initial 53-man roster. He wasn't expected to be anything more than a third or fourth string depth option. However, the 49ers are going to be without
Brock Purdy (shoulder) and
Kurtis Rourke (knee) for Sunday's game. That being said, Martinez will head to the active roster and be the backup to
Mac Jones. There isn't fantasy value here with Martinez right now, but he's a name to watch if something happens to Jones.
