Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs. He got in 3 limited practices this week and seemingly has some shot to make his 2022 debut in Week 2. Look for Noah Brown to serve as Dallas' #2 WR and Jalen Tolbert the #3 in the opener.
Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He’s ready to roll as Philly’s lead ball carrier for Sunday’s opener vs. the Lions.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (quad) isn’t listed on the final Week 1 injury report. After missing most of August, Waddle practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. It doesn’t look like that quad will be a problem in Sunday’s opener vs. the Patriots.
Dolphins RB Chase Edmonds (groin) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Edmonds is a borderline RB2 in PPR leagues in Sunday's matchup with a Patriots defense that struggled against RBs in the passing game last year.
Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend's opener vs. the Chiefs. Still dealing with a calf injury he suffered back on August 4, Ertz got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that he "hopes" Ertz can contribute in "some manner" on Sunday. It sounds like there's a good chance he's limited even if he ends up active. Ertz is shaping up as a shaky Week 1 fantasy play.
The Saints on Friday ruled CB Paulson Adebo (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. S Tyron Mathieu (illness) is questionable after missing Friday's workout. We'll check his status Sunday morning.
Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is out for this weekend's opener vs. the Chiefs. He hurt his hamstring on Thursday and didn't practice on Friday. We'll look for further updates on Moore's hamstring, but this could be a multi-game absence. With WR DeAndre Hopkins out on suspension, it'll be Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch as Arizona's top 4 WRs on Sunday. It's a concern for QB Kyler Murray.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. After limited workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, Johnson was a full go on Friday and said his shoulder is just a pain tolerance issue. He carries a bit more risk than usual in fantasy lineups but still sits inside our top 30 WRs for Week 1.
Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. Brown figure to operate as the #2 and #3 WRs behind Darnell Mooney.
The Giants list EDGE starters Azeez Ojulari (calf) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's opener against the Titans. That puts the team in even worse shape in a matchup that already heavily favored Tennessee and further softens the matchup for Titans offensive players.
The Chargers list LB Drue Tranquill as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He turned up on the injury report after hurting his back Friday, which doesn't bode well for his outlook in the opener. Tranquill is listed as a ILB starter on the team's "unofficial" depth chart, next to Kyle Van Noy. His absence would leave room for either Kenneth Murray or Troy Reeder, but we wouldn't plan on using either in Week 1 IDP lineups.
Cardinals DE J.J. Watt (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He missed the entire practice week and looks like a poor IDP bet even if he turns up active. Arizona also ruled out CB Trayvon Mullen (toe), a recent acquisition from the Raiders, and deemed CB Byron Murphy questionable with an illness that sidelined him Friday. The matchup looks pretty favorable for Kansas City offensive players.
The Bucs list WR Chris Godwin (knee) as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. He put in full practices on Wednesday and Friday, taking Thursday off. HC Todd Bowles said Friday morning that Godwin will be a game-time decision. Expect him to be limited if he does suit up, so Godwin isn't a recommended Week 1 fantasy play.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's opener vs. the Cowboys. He remained limited in practice all week after injuring his hamstring on August 10. We'll look for an update on Gage's status on Sunday morning but won't get the Bucs' inactives until 7 pm ET. Gage will carry elevated risk if he does end up playing vs. Dallas.
Patriots RB Ty Montgomery (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's opener vs. the Dolphins after a limited week of practice. Montgomery shouldn't be in your Week 1 fantasy plans, but his absence would free up passing-down snaps -- likely for RB Rhamondre Stevenson.
Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. We haven't heard any concern over Meyers' status, but you'll need to check back Sunday morning to make sure he's active if you're planning on using him in fantasy.
Giants WR Sterling Shepard (Achilles) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play in Sunday’s opener vs. the Titans, a little less than 9 months after tearing his Achilles. We’ll see exactly how big a role Shepard is ready for, but he shouldn’t be in Week 1 fantasy lineups. His availability does make WR Wan’Dale Robinson a riskier bet.
Falcons WR Drake London (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's opener vs. the Saints. The rookie was limited in practice all week coming off his August 12 knee injury. HC Arthur Smith said a final decision on London's Week 1 status will come on Saturday. Even if he plays, it's tough to imagine London being ready for a full-time role. We'd try not to use him in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Saints WR Michael Thomas (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. Both HC Dennis Allen and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggested on Thursday that Thomas was trending toward being available, but you'll need to check inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure he's suiting up.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. He was limited in practice all week. QB Lamar Jackson seemed to suggest on Wednesday that Dobbins would not play in the opener, but it looks like he at least has a shot. We'd expect Dobbins to be on a snap count if he does play, though, and wouldn't use him in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
