Packers WR Allen Lazard (ankle) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in all 3 practices this week and listed as questionable, so he’s probably not at 100% yet. That leaves Lazard as a risky Week 2 fantasy play. But if you were waiting on him, he’s available.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports 49ers QB Trey Lance suffered a "significant" right ankle injury in the Week 2 win over the Seahawks. Lance is expected to need surgery that will "likely" end his season. You can hang on to him on fantasy rosters until we get official confirmation that Lance's season is over, which figures to come tomorrow. San Francisco will turn back to QB Jimmy Garoppolo, which will mean a significant shift in the offense. The 49ers' pass rate will climb, and there will be more carries to go around since Garoppolo won't be taking many.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift got just 7 touches in Sunday's game, after arriving questionable with an ankle issue. Fortunately -- for those who started him -- Swift used a 50-yard scamper to run up 56 ground yards on just 5 carries. He added a 22-yard TD off a screen pass, 1 of just 2 receptions (for 31 yards) among 5 targets. Swift played just 10 more snaps than Jamaal Williams, according to Pro Football Focus, a smaller gap than Week 1. Williams led the team with 12 carries. RB Craig Reynolds also played 9 snaps after seeing no Week 1 action. We'll see about the status of Swift's ankle for Week 3.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 9 catches for 116 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Commanders. That marked the 8th straight game in which he secured at least 8 receptions, matching the record held by Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown. In Sunday's game, St. Brown tallied 5 more targets than any other Lion, garnering 35.3% of QB Jared Goff's pass attempts. TE T.J. Hockenson ranked 2nd, with 7 targets, but caught only 3 for 26 yards. Josh Reynolds and D'Andre Swift caught the other 2 of Goff's 4 TD passes in the game. St. Brown is so far vindicating anyone who drafted him this summer.
Cardinals RB James Conner injured his left ankle in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He's trying to work through it on the sidelines and is officially questionable to return. RBs Eno Benjamin and Darrel Williams have been splitting work in Conner's absence.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy injured his right arm in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. Texans. He went straight into the medical tent. We'll pass along an update when we get one.
Update: Jeudy is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
Update: Jeudy has been ruled out.
49ers QB Trey Lance injured his right leg in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. He had to be carted off the field and is obviously done for the day. We'll pass along an update when we get one. QB Jimmy Garoppolo has entered for the 'Niners.
Patriots RB Damien Harris appeared to injure his left knee late in Sunday's win over the Steelers. He was able to hobble off the field but was in obvious pain. Stay tuned for an update. RB Rhamondre Stevenson would be the obvious beneficiary of Harris' absence.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Ravens with cramping. If this is truly just cramps, there will be no long-term concern. We'll keep an eye on Hill this coming week.
Update: Hill returned in the 4th quarter and promptly scored a 48-yard TD. He's fine.
Bucs WR Mike Evans and Saints CB Marshon Lattimore were ejected early in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game. These guys are unlikely to face further discipline, but we'll keep you updated. Evans finishes Week 2 with 3 catches on 4 targets for 61 yards.
Patriots LB Ja'Whaun Bentley left Sunday's game with a back injury and is questionable to return. We'll see about the severity. He showed up on the injury report this week with a toe issue but was back to full practice by Friday.
Browns EDGE Jadeveon Clowney left Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury. He is questionable to return.
Broncos LB Josey Jewell (calf) is inactive for today's game against the Texans. LB Alex Singleton served as Denver's every-down LB in Jewell's absence last Monday night. We'll see whether that continues or if LB Jonas Griffith gains playing time in Week 2. Neither makes for an exciting IDP option this week. EDGE Randy Gregory (shoulder, knee) is active. He arrived questionable but played through such a tag in Week 1.
Cardinals S Jalen Thompson (toe) and DE J.J. Watt (calf) are active for today's game against the Raiders. It'll be Watt's season debut, making him a risky option. Thompson should be fine to use as planned, though we'll see whether he's limited at all.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He was listed as questionable after getting in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. Jordan isn’t a viable Week 2 fantasy play after running a route on just 58% of pass plays in the opener.
Rams EDGE Leonard Floyd (knee) is active for today's game against the Falcons. The injury -- suffered in Wednesday's practice -- might affect his output, but it's a nice matchup if you planned to use Floyd.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. He should be ready for his usual role and is a high-upside WR2 play.
Raiders RB Brandon Bolden (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Look for RB Ameer Abdullah to replace Bolden as Vegas’ passing-down back.
Patriots S Kyle Dugger left in the 1st half of Sunday's game at Pittsburgh with a knee injury. He is questionable to return.
49ers TE George Kittle (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, so it seems like he at least has a good shot to be back for Week 3. Kittle’s absence is a downgrade from QB Trey Lance but boosts the target projections for WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
