Fantasy football live rankings injury news updates for NFL Week 2 sit-start decisions today

Blog Article

Fantasy football owners have already been treated to a couple of monster performances this week, with D'Andre Swift doing a complete 180 from the week before and T.J. Hockenson making an early claim for fantasy's top TE. Heading into the Week 2 Sunday slate, we're bound to see more breakouts, disappointments, and, unfortunately, injuries.Speaking of the fantasy owners' least favorite thing, we're already down Austin Ekeler (ankle) and Diontae Johnson (hamstring), who have been ruled OUT, and several other key players (Aaron Jones, Breece Hall, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Christian Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Brandin Cooks, Puka Nacua, and Amari Cooper) are "questionable."ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Jones, Watson, and Cooks are unlikely to play, but Hopkinsand Kelceare expected to suit up. Nothing will be official for Jones, Watson, Kelce, and Hopkins until 11:35 a.m. ET (and 2:55 p.m. ET for Cooks), but fantasy owners should prepare accordingly.As always, we'll be here all morning, reacting to the latest injury news, monitoring the active/inactive lists for any surprises, watching the weather (there are a few ), and providing start 'em, sit 'em advice based on all the latest developments.MORE: Injury updates for NFL Week 2UPDATE (9:20 a.m. ET):NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning thatMark Andrews against Cincinnati today. As long as Andrews is active, he should be in all of his owners' starting lineups.UPDATE (9:20 a.m. ET):NFL Network's Ian Rapoport Magic Johnson Jersey reported Sunday morning thatBrandin Cooksis against the Jets today. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the same on Saturday night, so fantasy owners should look toMichael Gallupas a deep-league, boom-or-bust flex.UPDATE (9:20 a.m. ET):NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also echoed Adam Schefter by reportingAaron JonesandChristian Watsonare . That makes AJ Dillona must-start, andRomeo Doubsshould once again pay off as a WR3. For those in deep leagues. TELuke Musgraveshould also see extra targets against a Falcons' defense that struggled against TEs last week.UPDATE (11:52 a.m. ET):ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning thatAmari Cooperis NOT expected to play on Monday night against the Steelers.Donovan Peoples-Jonesis an obvious pivot, as he should see more targets, but fantasy owners now have the opportunity to replace Cooper with any receiver on their roster, and they can likely do better than DPJ.Elijah Moorewill also see more targets for the Browns, putting him squarely in the WR3 conversation.UPDATE (12:25 p.m. ET):NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported thatPuka Nacuais expected to play against San Francisco. Despite the tough matchup, Nacua is still a WR3, at least in PPR leagues, because of his high target share.NOTABLE EARLY ACTIVES (11:35 a.m. ET):DeAndre Hopkins, Mark Andrews, Travis Kelce, C.J. Stroud, Joey BosaNOTABLE EARLY INACTIVES (11:35 a.m. ET):Aaron Jones, Christian Watson, D'Onta Foreman, Austin Ekeler, Jakobi MeyersWEEK 2 INJURY UPDATES: | | | Playing time updates for NFL Week 2NFL Network's Tom Peli sero reported Sunday morning thatJahmyr Gibbswill see a "" in the Lions' offense in Week 2. Gibbs should have already been penciled in as flex this week, and this just confirmed that he has RB2 upside.David Montgomeryis still worth a flex spot, too, but his owners shouldn't expect another 20-plus touches.NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that the Falcons will continue to betweenBijan RobinsonandTyler Allgeierin Week 2. This doesn't really affect Robinson's must-start status, but it is encouraging for Allgeier, who should continue to have at least flex value in this split.NFL Network'sTom Peli seroreported Sunday morning thatD'Onta Foremanwill be a healthy scratch in Week 2, opening the door for more carries for Khalil HerbertandRoschon Johnson. This is especially interesting for Johnson, who profiles as a potential flex given the boost in touches.ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Chiefs' DTChris Joneswill play around 20-30 snaps. His presence will certainly help the Chiefs' D/ST but not enough to make them a worthwhile starting unit against Jacksonville's stellar offense.The Bengals madeChris Evansinactive this week, which means rookieChase Brownwill serve as the No. 3 back. This won't have an impact on Week 2 fantasy matchups, but it's something to watch going forward, as Brown was a popular preseason sleeper and surprise inactive last week.Weather updates for NFL Week 2There are really only two spots that look worrisome this week --Chiefs @ JaguarsandBears @ Buccaneers. With around a 50-percent chance of rain for both, chances are we'll see some wet conditions. Ultimately, though, unle s there are sudden downpours (which is slightly more likely the Bears-Buccaneers game), there's no need to bench any of your normal starters from these games.UPDATE (11:43 a.m. ET):Forecasts now suggest the Bears-Buccaneersgame is likely to see spotty rain, at most.
