Fantasy Football News You Need to Know

Hey!

I spent a few hours reading injury reports so you don’t have to.

Here’s the most important takeaways for your fantasy football leagues:

1. Christian McCaffrey says he'll play

But he’s still dealing with a calf injury and Achilles injury. Don’t be surprised to see a more limited role for McCaffrey in Week 1…

2. Ja’Marr Chase is questionable

Chase stated he’ll be a game-time decision and if he plays - he will be limited. However, you’re still starting him if he plays…

3. Tee Higgins is doubtful

He didn’t practice on Friday with a hamstring injury. Expect larger roles for WRs Andrei Iosivas and Jermaine Burton if Higgins misses Week 1…

4. DeAndre Hopkins is questionable

It's been reported that he torn his MCL in August. The injury seems to be mild – but it’s still concerning for a 32-year-old WR. Be cautious with Hopkins if he plays Week 1…

5. Jaylen Warren will play

He was able to practice in full this week. Warren is a FLEX option in Week 1 – but he could be limited coming off a hamstring injury…

6. Kyle Pitts will be play

He practiced in full this week after dealing with a hamstring injury last week. Pitts enters Week 1 as a priority target for QB Kirk Cousins…

7. Jordan Addison is expected to play

Addison will face the Giants bottom-10 secondary. Last season against poor secondaries – Addison averaged 15.7 points per game…

8. Puka Nacua will play

He practiced in full this week and will face a Lions secondary that’s much improved since ranking 30th in coverage last season…

9. Keenan Allen is questionable

The good news? He was able to practice in full on Friday. And Head Coach Matt Eberflus said he expects Keenan to play…

10. Tyler Lockett is questionable

But he was able to practice in full on Friday. Lockett said he’ll play – but there’s still a chance he’s limited in his season debut…

11. Russell Wilson is questionable

He’ll go through a workout today to decide if he’s playing. But the team is preparing for Justin Fields to be QB1. Fields becomes as Top 12 QB this week if he starts…

12. Justin Herbert is good to go

He's been dealing with a foot injury that may not be 100% healed. But he’ll play Week 1 – there is a chance his mobility will be limited…

13. Josh Down is OUT

He's still recovering from his high-ankle sprain suffered 4 weeks ago. Expect rookie WR Adonai Mitchell to play a lot in Week 1…

14. The Browns O-Line is banged up

Left Tackle Jedrick Willis is out & Right Tackle Jack Conklin is questionable. This doesn’t bode well for Deshaun Watson and Jerome Ford against the Top 10 Cowboys defensive line...

15. Curtis Samuel is expected to play

Samuel will make his Bills debut and he’s re-united with former coach Joe Brady - who he had 1051 total yards with in 2020…

16. Mike Williams will be on a snap count

Expect him to be on the field in the redzone. He’s been practicing in full this week – so he appears to be healthy. Williams is projected for 29.5 yards in the betting markets…

17. Brock Bowers will play

The Raiders rookie TE was able to practice in full on Friday. He’ll face a Chargers linebacking unit that has a lot of question marks entering the season…

18. Noah Fant will play

He was able to practice in full on Friday. Fant has a great matchup against the Broncos linebackers who were bottom-5 in coverage last season…

19. The Rams O-Line is banged up

Tackle Rob Havenstein is questionable with an ankle injury & Jonah Jackson is battling a shoulder issue but will play. The Rams O-Line will have their hands full against a Top 10 Lions pass-rush…

20. Antonio Gibson is questionable

However - he was able to practice in limited fashion on Thursday & Friday. His pass-catching role will be needed as the Patriots are 8-point underdogs this week…
