[IND - Michael Pittman downgraded to out](=) Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts WR [Michael Pittman](=) Jr. (quadriceps) was downgraded from questionable to out for Week 2, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pittman was banged up during the week on Wednesday, but some were hopeful he would be able to play in Week 2. Instead, the Colts are shutting him down for the game against the Jagaurs on Sunday. Rookie Alec Pierce (concussion) is out as well. That means Parris Campbell should be the top targeted receiver for the Colts in Week 2. Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan will get more work at the wide receiver position as well. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [BUF - Gabriel Davis added to injury report]() Source: BuffaloBills.com - Chris Brown Buffalo Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) was added to the injury report on Saturday, Sept. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on this situation as the Bills play on Monday night against the Titans. Davis was likely banged up on Saturday, and his status is truly up in the air for Week 2. The Bills might use Isaiah McKenzie and Jamison Crowder more if Davis has to miss the game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [BUF - WR Stefon Diggs fined]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Buffalo Bills WR [Stefon Diggs](=) was fined $10,609 for unsportsmanlike conduct after taunting Los Angeles Rams CB Jalen Ramsey in Week 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Diggs caught 8-of-9 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Rams. They played on Thursday night in Week 1, and in Week 2 they will play on Monday night against the Titans. Diggs is a must-start player for Fantasy GMs every week regardless of the matchup. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [IND - Alec Pierce out this week but progressing](=) Source: The Herald Bulletin - George Bremer Indianapolis Colts WR [Alec Pierce](=) (concussion) is making good progress in his recovery but will not be available for the Week 2 game, according to head coach Frank Reich. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pierce is an exciting rookie to monitor in dynasty formats. From a redraft standpoint, the Colts' second-round pick is more of a wait-and-see player most will leave on the waiver wire at this time. Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan will get more snaps while Pierce continues to recover. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NYJ - NYJ elevates two for Week 2]( Source: NewYorkJets.com - Ethan Greenberg New York Jets OL Grant Hermanns and TE Kenny Yeboah were elevated from the practice squad for Week 1, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We appreciate Yeboah in deep dynasty fomrats. He's a big receiving threat who can create mismatches on the field. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [IND - Indy elevates two for Week 2](=) Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts WR Keke Coutee and PK Chase McLaughlin were elevated from the practice squad for Week 2, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Colts are going to be without Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce in Week 2 against the Jaguars. Coutee has a ton of speed, but he's buried on the depth chart...even with these injuries...behind guys like Parris Campbell, Ashton Dulin, and Mike Strachan.

[DAL - Dallas elevates two for Week 2](=) Source: Pro Football Focus - Doug Kyed Dallas Cowboys QB Will Grier and C Alec Lindstrom were elevated from the practice squad for Week 2, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Grier will operate as the primary backup to starter Cooper Rush. The Cowboys did not put starting QB Dak Prescott on Injured Reserve, so Rush will get to start for about a couple of weeks before Prescott's expected return. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [DEN - Denver elevates two for Week 2]() Source: DenverBroncos.com - Aric DiLalla Denver Broncos WR Kendall Hinton and OG Netane Muti were elevated from the practice squad for Week 2, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hinton is a multi-purpose player who can work as a gadget quarterback on the field. He's called up because K.J. Hamler is out in Week 2 against the Texans. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [CIN - Ja'Marr Chase hit with two fines](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was fined $13,261 and $10,609 for two separate unsportsmanlike conduct (taunting) infractions in Week 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chase caught 10-of-16 targets for 129 yards and one touchdown in the Bengals' Week 1 overtime loss to the Steelers. This week against the Cowboys, Chase should be able to go off once again for elite-level WR1 production. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [LAR - WR Jacob Harris elevated for Week 2]( Source: Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles Rams WR Jacob Harris has been elevated from the practice squad for Week 2, the team announced on Saturday, Sept. 17. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Harris is a big-bodied WR/TE who we appreciate in deep dynasty formats. A fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Harris came into the league out of UCF as a tight end. He transitioned to wide receiver and then missed a ton of time due to groin injuries and an ACL injury last November. He was banged up in training camp this year, so the Rams put Harris on the practice squad. Now, they've called him up to the active roster. We'll see if he does anything with this opportunity. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [TB - WR Mike Evans struggling against Saints](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jenna Laine Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Mike Evans](=) (calf) faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, and he is averaging two catches and 32.8 yards in his last six meetings with the Saints. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evans has kryptonite in the name of Saints CB Marshon Lattimore. He was a midweek downgrade in practice, so his playing status is up in the air. Fantasy GMs would be best served to have other options at the ready. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [ATL - Playing time coming for Desmond Ridder?]() Source: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Mark Bradley Atlanta Falcons QB Desmond Ridder will 'probably see a lot' of playing time this season, in the opinion of Mark Bradley of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Marcus Mariota is the starter for now, and last week he threw for 215 yards and rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Saints. If/when he stumbles, it would be wise for the Falcons to see what they have in Ridder. The third-round pick out of Cincinnati has plenty of moxie to his game, he's athletic, and he can make every throw required in the pros. What he doesn't have is big-game experience, and starting him as much as possible this year would tell if there's something more there than just a backup.
