  • BUF Running Back #4
    The first three-touchdown effort of Cook’s career puts him 50 percent of the way to his 2023 scoring total, and 33 percent of the way to his previous career touchdown total. Although he cashed in a one-yard goal-line carry in the second quarter, he had big plays to thank, housing a first quarter 4th-and-3 reception for a 17-yard leakout TD and turning a late second quarter handoff into a 49-yard score. The Bills’ OL opened up a huge gap on the 49-yarder and Cook used his speed to leave the Dolphins in the dust. Awesome stuff, especially after Cook handled 22 touches in Week 1. Although Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are both getting snaps, it appears Cook has earned a new level of trust from the Bills’ coaching staff in Year 3. He’ll be in the RB1 mix for Week 3 against the Jaguars.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    With Raheem Mostert (chest) out and Tua Tagovailoa struggling mightily before departing with a concussion, Achane set a new career high for touches by seven. Supposedly “questionable” with an ankle injury, Achane was the Dolphins’ offensive focal point from the opening whistle. That included playing deep into a game that was essentially over minutes into the second half. Achane ceded just seven combined handles to backups Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright. The mammoth workload on short rest with injury is obviously extremely bullish for Achane’s going-forward usage, even if Mostert’s absence is limited to one game. Achane will be an upside RB1 for Week 3 against the Seahawks.
  • MIA Quarterback #1
    It’s the worst possible news for a player with a long history of head injuries. Scrambling past the chains for a critical conversion on a fourth down in the red zone, Tagovailoa failed to slide and took a big hit from Bills S Damar Hamlin. He immediately appeared to go into the “fencing position,” a tell-tale sign of a concussion. Tagovailoa remained down for several moments before making his way to the sideline, then locker room, unassisted. Skylar Thompson is in the game at quarterback and will play the final 1.5 quarters. Tagovailoa was struggling mightily before going down, tossing three picks and failing to challenge down the field. The only good news is that he has 10 days to get cleared for Week 3 against the Seahawks. Considering his injury history, however, Tagovailoa will probably miss multiple weeks, perhaps requiring a stint on injured reserve.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Oh dear. The Seahawks initially tried to project optimism on Walker’s status, but back-to-back DNPs definitely have him on the wrong side of questionable. Even a “limited” return on Friday would have Walker in much better shape to suit up vs. the Pats, but for now it’s looking like it will be the Zach Charbonnet show.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    After some early-week intrigue and talk of a potential game-time decision, Achane never seemed particularly close to sitting. That’s great news for a Dolphins team missing Raheem Mostert (chest), and even better news for fantasy managers who took the Achane plunge on the Round 2/3 borderline. There is definitely some increased risk of Achane not finishing tonight’s contest, but if you drafted Achane, we never heard a good reason to bench him this week. Joining Mostert on the shelf are CB Ethan Bonner, EDGE Mohamed Kamara, C Andrew Meyer, LB Channing Tindall and WR Malik Washington.
  • GB Quarterback #10
    This was the expectation all along after Jordan Love was injured Week 1 in Brazil, but coach Matt LaFleur has done what head coaches do and tried to confuse the issue heading into Sunday against the Colts. There has been zero actual indication Love could start this Sunday, and fantasy managers should indeed continue to plan on a multiple-week absence.
  • SF Running Back #23
    McCaffrey is getting a second consecutive practice, although fantasy managers will want to see the designation of whether he’s limited in the session or not. The 28-year-old was a surprise scratch for Monday night football, and there’s a good chance he’ll miss Week 2 against the Vikings as well, despite getting in back-to-back practice sessions.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Higgins is in street clothes and will head to the rehab field. The wideout missed Week 1 with his hamstring injury, and the 25-year-old seems to be trending towards missing Sunday’s battle with KC as well. If Higgins can’t go, Andrei Iosivas will likely get the start for the Bengals.
  • GB Quarterback #10
    No surprise here, but still worth mentioning after Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters that the door was “open” to Love playing Thursday. That obviously seemed like nonsense at the time, and it appears to remain so. Malik Willis will get the start in Week 2 against the Colts and even with a strong group of players to throw the ball to, there’s more risk in that from a fantasy standpoint than reward.
  • KC Wide Receiver #5
    It seems very unlikely that Brown will be able to play against the Bengals in Week 2 at this point after initial optimism that he may be able to suit up for that contest. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will continue to be the top wideouts for Patrick Mahomes against the Cincinnati secondary.
