[DET - D'Andre Swift questionable]( Source: ESPN.com - Eric Woodyard Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) will be listed as questionable on the team's final Week 2 injury report, per head coach Dan Campbell on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Outward signs point to Swift playing against Washington, but check back Sunday morning to be sure. If he can't go, Jamaal Williams will start and Craig Reynolds will have a larger role as the #2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [TB - WR Chris Godwin likely out]() Source: Tampa Bay Times - Rick Stroud Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Chris Godwin](=) (hamstring) is expected to be ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Todd Bowles on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Godwin doesn't appear to be close to playing this week, so consider him questionable at best for the game against the Packers next week. Russell Gage appears to be ready to go and should be considered a WR3/Flex in PPR leagues against the tough Saints defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [TB - Tampa Bay's injury report for Week 2](=) Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Chris Godwin](=) (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the New Orleans Saints. OT Donovan Smith (elbow) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. CB Zyon McCollum (hamstring) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday, Sept. 16, but is also listed as doubtful. WR [Mike Evans](=) (calf), RB [Leonard Fournette](=) (hamstring), WR [Russell Gage](=) Jr. (hamstring), WR [Julio Jones](=) (knee), WR [Breshad Perriman](=) (knee) and OT Tristan Wirfs (abdomen) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable. LB Lavonte David (rest) and DE Akiem Hicks (rest) did not practice on Friday but are expected to play. QB [Tom Brady](=) (rest) practiced in full Friday and no longer appears on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Expect all of the wideouts and Fournette to play, but check back on Sunday morning to be safe. Rookie running back Rachaad White could play a large role in the passing game against the Saints. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [TB - WR Julio Jones practicing]() Source: PewterReport.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Julio Jones](=) (knee) was spotted at practice Friday, Sept. 16, after missing practice Thursday. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones should be in on Sunday, and might benefit from a better matchup than Mike Evans, who is likely to draw Marshon Lattimore in an annual must-see TV matchup. Consider Jones a WR3/Flex with upside after he showed some top-end speed in Week 1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [SF - TE George Kittle a game-time decision](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (groin) is expected to be a game-time decision for the Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, according to general manager John Lynch on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kittle looked good in practice and knowing him, he's probably going to gut this one out. You need to have a late or night game option to be sure of not drawing a zero if you are counting on Kittle, but we should have more clarity on his status vs. Seattle come Sunday morning. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [TB - WR Mike Evans spotted at Friday's practice]() Source: PewterReport.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Mike Evans](=) (calf) was spotted at practice Friday, Sept. 16. Evans was absent from the team's practice Thursday. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evans should be ready to go for Week 2, but lower expectations with Marshon Lattimore likely covering him a lot on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [MIA - Austin Jackson heading to IR]() Source: The Athletic - Chris Perkins Miami Dolphins OT Austin Jackson (ankle) will be placed on the injured reserve list, according to head coach Mike McDaniel on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Greg Little will replace Jackson. Left tackle Terron Armstead is questionable so the Dolphins really need him to play to keep Tua Tagovailoa upright against the Ravens. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [ATL - Atlanta's Week 2 injury report]() Source: AtlantaFalcons.com - Scott Bair Atlanta Falcons RB [Damien Williams](=) (ribs) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Rams. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rookie Tyler Allgeier should be up this week and get at least a few carries behind Cordarrelle Patterson, who should be in fantasy lineups as an RB2/Flex. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [IND - Alec Pierce ruled out for Week 2]() Source: Colts.com - JJ Stankevitz Indianapolis Colts WR [Alec Pierce](=) (concussion) was ruled out for Week 2 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pierce had a drop in the end zone last week and was otherwise unremarkable in his debut last week. He can be dropped in redraft leagues. Parris Campbell and Ashton Dulin will have larger roles with Pierce out and Michael Pittman questionable.

[NYJ - Week 2 injury report for NY Jets]( Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets QB Zach Wilson (knee) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Cleveland Browns. TE C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 16, and is listed as doubtful. WR [Braxton Berrios](=) (heel), OL George Fant (knee), DL John Franklin-Myers (toe), P Braden Mann (back) and S Jordan Whitehead (ankle) practiced in full Friday and have been removed on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Berrios is on the optimistic side of questionable. If he does happen to be out, Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Corey Davis will all get bumps against the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [ARI - WR Rondale Moore likely out again]() Source: Pro Football Network - Aaron Wilson Arizona Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is likely out again for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fire up Greg Dortch as a WR3/Flex in PPR leagues after he had a solid Week 1 performance in a blowout loss. The Cardinals should be in this week's game against the Raiders for a lot longer than last week's laugher against the Chiefs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [PIT - Pittsburgh's Week 2 injury report]() Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers RB [Najee Harris](=) (foot), DB Levi Wallace (ankle), LB Robert Spillane (eye), C Mason Cole (ankle) and DT Cameron Heyward (rest) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 16, and no longer appear on the injury report for Week 2 against the New England Patriots. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Harris is good to go. The offensive line and passing game is another story. Keep Harris in your lineup, but lower expectations against the Patriots defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [CIN - WR Tee Higgins returns to practice](=) Source: The Athletic - Jay Morrison Cincinnati Bengals WR [Tee Higgins](=) (concussion/personal) returned to practice Friday, Sept. 16, after missing Thursday's practice due to a personal reason. Higgins is still in the concussion protocol and needs to be cleared by the independent neurologist ahead of the Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Bengals are on the road, so we should know Higgins status when the team plane leaves tomorrow. If he's out, Tyler Boyd and Hayden Hurst become better plays. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [NO - Week 2 injury report for New Orleans](=) Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints CB Paulson Adebo (ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. RB [Alvin Kamara](=) (rib) did not practice for a second consecutive day on Friday, Sept. 16, and is listed as questionable. WR Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder), RB Dwayne Washington (hamstring), QB [Jameis Winston](=) (back), RB [Mark Ingram](=) (ankle) and CB Alontae Taylor (hip) were limited in practice all week and are also listed as questionable. DE Cameron Jordan (hip), S Marcus Maye (ankle) and OT Landon Young (hip) practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kamara could play, but back to back DNPs aren't promising. Latavius Murray could be called up from the practice squad to help if Kamara is out and we'll be watching to see if that happens tomorrow. The Bucs are a bad matchup for opposing running backs, so there's no good play for the Saints if Kamara is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [NYG - Wan'Dale Robinson a no-go for Week 2]( Source: Giants.com New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Richie James is set up for a large role against the Panthers with Robinson out and Kadarius Toney questionable. He's a solid desperation pickup if you need help at WR/Flex in PPR leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [TEN - Friday's practice report for Tennessee]( Source: TennesseeTitans.com Tennessee Titans CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring), RB [Dontrell Hilliard](=) (hamstring), OT Jamarco Jones (elbow) and OG Nate Davis (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 16. WR [Kyle Philips](=) (shoulder), LB Olasunkanmi Adeniyi (neck) and OT Dillon Radunz (neck) were limited. C Ben Jones (non-injury), OT Taylor Lewan (knee) and CB Lonnie Johnson (groin) practiced in full. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hilliard appears to be on track to sit for Monday night's game after a strong Week 1. Rookies Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut would back up Derrick Henry if Hilliard is out, but it's not clear who would get passing down snaps of the three backs. It could be good for Henry's outlook if Hilliard is out in a game that could see the Titans playing from behind against the Bills. Philips is being back in a limited fashion is good news. Consider him a PPR WR3/Flex if he goes Monday night. We'll be watching the rookie's status in practice tomorrow. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [IND - OLB Shaquille Leonard a no-go for Week 2]() Source: Colts.com - JJ Stankevitz Indianapolis Colts LB Shaquille Leonard (back) was ruled out for Week 2 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday, Sept. 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] E.J. Speed will replace Leonard. Speed was a solid play in IDP leagues last week and should be available if you need help with Leonard or otherwise are disappointed with any of your other linebacker choices.
