Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be out there for Sunday's opener vs. the Giants. We haven't heard anything about a snap count for Sutton, but he carries slightly elevated risk in his 1st regular-season action since last September's torn ACL.
Broncos TE Noah Fant (leg) isn’t listed on the final Week 1 injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He should be full-go for this weekend’s opener vs. the Giants.
Patriots WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s opener vs. the Dolphins. He was limited on Wednesday, sidelined on Thursday and limited again on Friday. If Agholor plays, he’ll be doing so at less than 100%. Avoid him in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) isn't listed on the final Week 1 injury report and will play against the Broncos on Sunday. He was limited in practice this week and admitted last week that he was still trying to get back in football shape after being sidelined for about a month. We'd try not to use Golladay in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Browns K Chase McLaughlin (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll keep tabs on his status but would look elsewhere for Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) is out for Sunday's opener against the Broncos. He didn't practice all week, so don't expect him back for next Thursday night's game at Washington. TE Kyle Rudolph (foot) was limited in practice all week but isn't listed on the final injury report. So he'll play vs. Denver, but it's unclear how big a role he'll be ready for after missing most of the offseason after foot surgery. Avoid the situation in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
The Giants listed RB Saquon Barkley (knee) as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Broncos. He was limited in all 3 practices but had a "promising" week, HC Joe Judge said. We're fully expecting Barkley to play this weekend -- although just how much work he'll handle remains a question. Stay tuned to Shark Bites for updates.
Jets WR Keelan Cole (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He didn’t practice on Friday after being added to the injury report on Thursday, so he looks like a poor bet to play. With Jamison Crowder (COVID) already ruled out, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore should serve as the Jets’ clear top 2 WRs in the opener.
Vikings TE Tyler Conklin (hamstring) isn’t listed on the final injury report after getting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He should be a full-go for this weekend’s opener vs. the Bengals. You should be able to do better in season-long leagues, but Conklin is in play as a cheap DFS option.
Browns WR Odell Beckham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Chiefs after a limited week of practice. HC Kevin Stefanski wouldn't say when asked Friday whether Beckham will play. But it'd be a surprise if he didn't after a summer full of positive reports on his recovery from last year's torn ACL. Browns-Chiefs doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET on Sunday, but we should get an update on Beckham that morning.
Cowboys WR Michael Gallup is expected to be sidelined 3-5 weeks with a calf strain, The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken reports. Gallup figures to land on short-term IR. It's worth noting that Dallas has a Week 7 bye, so it's possible we don't see Gallup again until Week 8. He's not a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. WR Cedrick Wilson ran a route on 85% of Dallas' pass plays after Gallup exited Thursday night's opener and is worth a look on waiver wires. Gallup's absence, of course, will also free up targets for WRs Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb.
Colts QB Carson Wentz (foot) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll start Sunday's opener against the Seahawks. He'll do so off very little practice time due to the foot injury and a trip to the COVID list. The Colts will also be without LT Eric Fisher on Sunday. It leaves Wentz as a shaky Week 1 fantasy play.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) has had a "promising" week of practice, HC Joe Judge said Friday. Judge added that it'd take a setback for Barkley to not be ready for Sunday's opener vs. the Broncos. We'll see how Barkley is listed on the final injury report, but he can be penciled into fantasy lineups for now.
Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) has been placed on IR. So he'll miss at least the first 3 games of the season with this groin injury that's lingered since spring OTAs. Samuel isn't a must-hold in fantasy leagues without an IR spot. His absence should move rookie WR Dyami Brown into the starting lineup, although Washington might rotate him with WR Cam Sims. Adam Humphries will be the slot receiver.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Friday that RBs Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman are "more game ready" than Le'Veon Bell right now. Bell is "still getting his legs under him," Harbaugh added. It makes sense considering Murray and Freeman spent August in training camps. So those 2 are more likely to be active for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. But RB Ty'Son Williams remains the heavy favorite to serve as lead back in that one.
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (COVID) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, HC Robert Saleh said. We'll see if WR Keelan Cole (knee) is able to play. Corey Davis and Elijah Moore should operate as the Jets' top 2 WRs in this one.
Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Steelers after a limited week of practice. A fringy fantasy option to begin with, Sanders shouldn't be in lineups at less than 100%. His absence would turn WR Gabriel Davis into a near every-down player -- and a viable Week 1 fantasy play.
Cowboys WR Michael Gallup is officially questionable to return to Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs with a left ankle injury. The broadcast showed him on the sidelines but without a helmet. Cedrick Wilson replaced Gallup as Dallas' #3 WR.
Buccaneers CB Sean Murphy-Bunting suffered an elbow injury in the 1st half of Thursday night's opener against the Cowboys. The team ruled him out for the game. We'll see how much longer he remains out.
Tests confirmed that Ravens CB Marcus Peters suffered an ACL tear in Thursday's practice, according to multiple reports. He was only the 2nd most fantasy-relevant Baltimore player to do so on the day. Losing Peters, though, takes a starting outside corner and coverage playmaker out of the lineup. It at least lowers the ceiling a bit for the Ravens' team defense.
