Colts TE Kylen Granson was added to the injury report and is now questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Texans with a hamstring. Granson led Colts TEs in Week 1 with a 71% route rate and six targets. His absence would leave Indianapolis with TEs Mo Alie-Cox and Andrew Ogletree.
Browns WR Amari Cooper (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Steelers. That groin was added to the injury report on Saturday, when Cooper was limited in practice. That indicates that Cooper injured the groin in Saturday's workout. The Monday kickoff obviously makes this a tricky situation for fantasy owners. We'll look for further updates on Cooper. But his owners either need to have him on the bench, or have a Monday night alternative lined up. The Browns-Steelers and Saints-Panthers games are on Monday.
Update: Browns HC Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Cooper "aggravated" his groin in Saturday's practice. Cooper had core-muscle surgery this offseason. "We'll see how he does over the next 48 hours," Stefanski added.
The Dolphins added Edge Jaelan Phillips to the injury report Friday and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots with a back injury he suffered in Friday's practice. We'll see about his status Sunday, but the late kickoff might mean you need to go with another option in your IDP lineup.
Cowboys S Donovan Wilson is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets with the calf injury that has kept him off the field for weeks. Wilson did return for limited practice participation Thursday and Friday. Combine that with Dallas' decision not to put him on IR to open the year, and it's clear the team hopes to get Wilson back by at least Week 4. We'll see about his status for Week 3, though it'll be tough to trust Wilson in IDP lineups immediately upon his return.
Cardinals S Budda Bker popped up on Friday's injury report with a hamstring issue that has him questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. Baker sustained the injury during Friday's workout. We'll see about his status Sunday ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If we don't know about Baker heading into the early games, you might need to sit him for another option in your IDP lineup.
Niners LB Dre Greenlaw opened the week missing practice with a groin injury. But he returned for a limited Thursday workout and participated fully on Friday. The 49ers left him off the final injury report, indicating that Greenlaw is ready for Sunday's game against the Rams without restriction.
Packers LB Quay Walker is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He managed limited practices Thursday and Friday but remains in the concussion protocol. That makes Walker likely to miss the game, though the questionable tag indicates there's some chance he gets cleared before kickoff. Expect Isaiah McDuffie to start in his place if Walker can't go. Atlanta's run game presents an upside tackle matchup.
The Buccaneers have ruled CB Carlton Davis (toe) out for Sunday's game against the Bears. Davis missed practice all week despite playing every snap in the season opener. Second-year CB Zyon McCollum will take his place Sunday. LB Lavonte David also missed Friday's practice, but it was merely a rest day. He's ready to go.
The Texans have ruled S Jalen Pitre (bruised lung) and S Jimmie Ward (hip) out for Sunday's game against the Colts. That leaves Eric Murray and M.J. Stewart as the starters. Both carry some mild IDP intrigue. Indy supplied 15 total tackles to Jacksonville's starting safeties in Week 1.
The Titans have ruled CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring) and S Amani Hooker (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. That leaves an already weak pass defense without two of its top 4 DBs. Should be a good week for the Chargers' passing game to get going.
Chargers Edge Joey Bosa is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. He missed the first two practices with a hamstring injury. Bosa returned to the field Friday and was officially limited. But NFL Network's Bridget Condon reported that he worked off to the side with no helmet. That doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to come back for the game. Set your IDP lineup as though Bosa won't be available this week. We'll see what else we learn ahead of Sunday's kickoff. The combo of Bosa's injury and multiple injuries at LB should downgrade the Chargers' team D for Week 2.
The Chargers list LB Eric Kendricks (hamstring) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans. His expected absence will leave LB Kenneth Murray calling the defensive plays. The Chargers will also miss rookie LB Daiyan Henley (hamstring) for the second straight game. That leaves the replacement plan unclear. Some combo of Nick Niemann and Amen Ogbongbemiga will fill in. Murray is the only Chargers LB worth considering for IDP lineups. And even he shouldn't be a priority. Murray continued to play poorly in Week 1. If you play in a deep IDP league, Henley -- a third-round rookie -- might be worth stashing, on the chance he takes over a starting spot at some point this year.
Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) did not practice all week. He’s listed as questionable, and owner Jerry Jones labeled him a game-time decision for Sunday’s tilt with the Jets. But it’s safe to assume that Cooks won’t be anywhere close to 100% if he suits up. Keep him on fantasy benches this week. Cooks' absence would leave extra targets for WR CeeDee Lamb, WR Michael Gallup, and TE Jake Ferguson, among others.
Colts RB Zack Moss (forearm) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 2 injury report. Considering how poorly RB Deon Jackson played last week, we’re projecting Moss to lead Colts RBs in carries vs. the Texans on Sunday. Jackson still figures to mix in, though, especially on passing downs. So Moss is an uninspiring RB3 play.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. HC Sean Payton said Friday that Jeudy will not be on a snap count vs. the Commanders this weekend. There’s still elevated risk here, but Jeudy is in WR3 consideration in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He’s expected to miss multiple weeks with this hamstring injury. Adam Trautman should pick up some extra work with Dulcich out but would be a desperation fantasy play.
Texans WR John Metchie (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He’ll make his regular-season debut vs. the Colts this weekend. Metchie’s return is good timing with WR Noah Brown on IR. But it’s unclear who will pick up Brown’s snaps between Metchie, Tank Dell, and Xavier Hutchinson. None of those guys can be trusted in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud (shoulder) was added to the injury report and limited in Friday's practice. He's listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Per insider Aaron Wilson, Stroud "didn't do much" on Friday to "rest sore right, throwing shoulder, but is expected to try to play against Colts." That doesn't sound great. Hopefully Stroud wasn't in your Week 2 fantasy plans. QB Davis Mills will start on Sunday if Stroud can't. The situation adds downside to Houston's pass-catchers.
Patriots WR DeVante Parker (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was in the same boat last week before ending up inactive. Parker shouldn’t be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He sat out on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He’s ready for lead-back duties in Sunday night’s game vs. New England.
