Hey!
Sunday football is almost here. Man that feels incredible to type out.
But before we get there, here are 15 injury updates you need to know for Week 1:
Malik Nabers is questionable for Sunday Night. He practiced in full all week but he could be a game-time decision. Nabers is my WR19 this week projected for 14.1 points. I'd plan to start him, with a replacement in mind if needed…
Jeremiyah Love is questionable but expects to play. It’s reasonable to expect Love to be limited Week 1. The Cardinals are 10-point underdogs, its not a great spot for him...
Emeka Egbuka is a full go for Week 1. He practiced in full all week, expect a normal workload for Egbuka, he’s my WR21 projected for 13.1 points. Start him…
Tua Tagovailoa is out. He’s considered week-to-week with an oblique injury. Cooper Rush will start at QB. Drake London now falls outside my Top 20 WRs for Week 1…
Brock Bowers is OUT. His knee surgery is typically a 4-6-week recovery. Michael Mayer becomes a must start TE against the Dolphins. He’s my TE5 this week…
Rome Odunze is questionable, but said he'll play. He’s battling a calf injury but was able to practice all week. You can start him this week…
Ja’Marr Chase is good to go for Week 1. He practiced in full earlier in the week before resting Friday. Chase seems to be over his knee injury, he’s of course a start…
Jonathon Brooks isn’t listed on the Panthers final injury report. He’s been battling a groin issue but will play. Brooks is my RB33 this week projected for 9.9 points. If you have a better option, I’d start them…
Alec Pierce will play Week 1. It’s unknown if he’ll be on a snap count after practicing in limited fashion all week. Either way, Pierce is a sit for me this week. He’s my WR55 projected for just 9 points…
Alvin Kamara is questionable. He was able to practice in full Friday and is “ready to go”. Kamara is ahead of schedule in his return from his knee injury. He’s not playable in fantasy but his role could limit Travis Etienne’s upside…
The Packers have one of the worst O-Lines in the NFL. Two of their starters, Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele, are questionable for Week 1. MarShawn Lloyd is an extremely sketchy fantasy play this week...
Right Guard Tevin Jenkins is out for Browns. This is bad news for Deshaun Watson or Quinshon Judkins. Judkins is my RB24 this week projected for 11.8 points…
TE Kenyon Sadiq was left off the Jets final injury report. The 1st round rookie may take time to get going, but his role is worth keeping an eye on. Sadiq is an interesting stash in deeper fantasy leagues…
RB Sean Tucker is doubtful for the Bucs. Tucker earned 22 redzone touches last year. If he’s out, it makes Bucky Irving an even better play Week 1…
