Caleb Williams talks about a loss at the youth football level that made him switch to quarterback and how it motivated him to be the best.

  • LAR Wide Receiver #17
    Nacua suffered a PCL injury in the Rams’ Week 1 loss to the Lions and has since been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games. Sean McVay initially believed Nacua could miss just the minimum of four games. Now, according to Schefter, the Rams are likely to be more cautious with his return. Nacua will be eligible to return in Week 6 versus the Raiders after LA’s bye week. However, that looks unlikely and so does the following week. The Rams face the Vikings on Thursday, giving them a short turnaround for Week 7. A Week 8 date with the Seahawks looks like the earlier possible date for Nacua to get back on the field. Cooper Kupp will be loaded with targets until then. Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson round out the team’s three-receiver rotation.
  • KC Wide Receiver #5
    Brown will be sidelined until at least January after undergoing shoulder surgery. He picked up in the injury in the preseason and was placed on injured reserve this week when the team decided surgery was necessary. Brown, 27, could return for a postseason run barring a rehab setback. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will be KC’s top two receivers for the remainder of the season, with Rice functioning as the team’s clear No. 1 wideout.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Brown popped on the injury report Friday as a limited participant before being held out Saturday, something that typically indicates the injury was suffered during the week in practice. Furthermore, players that pick up soft tissue ailments during the week typically have a hard time playing that same week, raising significant doubt about Brown’s potential availability for Monday Night Football against the Falcons. Fantasy managers will want to pursue alternative options after a similar situation developed in Week 1 with Christian McCaffrey.
  • GB Quarterback #10
    Love never appeared to have a legitimate shot at suiting up against the Colts after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 1, although the fact the team did not place him on injured reserve and initially listed his as questionable for Week 2 has to be a good sign to Packers faithful. Love’s next chance of suiting up, barring a last minute miracle, will come in Week 3 when the team travels to Tennessee to face the Titans.
  • SF Running Back #23
    After the surprise inactive in week 1, the 49ers have now placed their star running back on injured reserve. He will miss at least four games, paving the way for Jordan Mason to serve as the workhorse running back for one of the league’s top offenses. The 49ers have their bye in Week 9 this season, hinting at the potential for McCaffrey to remain out until Week 10 as a worst-case scenario. If you haven’t added him yet, run to the waiver wire and scoop up Mason.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    “We’ll see how that goes,” Sirianni said, unhelpfully. Sirianni said the superstar wideout’s hammy “tightened up” in Friday’s practice. Brown has an extra day to get healthy since the Eagles are playing on Monday night, but at this point, we would have to consider him genuinely questionable. He will undoubtedly get slapped with that official tag later Saturday. It’s still possible Brown is ready for his typical workload Monday, but fantasy managers need to begin prepping a backup plan. Ray-Ray McCloud is a bargain-basement Monday night option available in the majority of leagues.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #13
    The same is true for Rome Odunze (knee). It’s a nightmare for fantasy managers with the evening kickoff, making back-up plans essential. At this point, we would probably tiebreak against Allen in Sunday morning lineup decisions. Whereas Allen is probably genuinely questionable — if at risk of a snap count — Odunze seems less than 50-50 to suit up.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Details on Brown’s hamstring issue have yet to be released so anything from tightness to a strain is possible. We will provide updates as soon as we learn more. In the meantime, fantasy managers should consider adding No. 3 WR Jahan Dotson, if possible. Dotson’s 32 offensive snaps in Week 1 comfortably led No. 4 WR Johnny Wilson’s 10.
  • SF Running Back #23
    Per Shanahan, McCaffrey had his worst day in terms of pain and health following Thursday’s practice, prompting the change in tone from the team. Shanahan had previously told reporters that McCaffrey would not go on injured reserve. The superstar running back was even practicing in a limited capacity earlier this week. It’s a nightmare scenario for fantasy managers who were expecting to get McCaffrey back sooner rather than later. He will miss at least four games if placed on injured reserve. Jordan Mason will dominate the touches for San Francisco for the foreseeable future. Mason turned 28 carries into 147 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. He will rank as a high-end RB1 for as long as McCaffrey is on the sidelines.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Walker will be replaced by No. 2 RB Zach Charbonnet, whose dual-threat skillset should at least return RB3 value despite the tough matchup. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald demonstrated a commitment to the run game last week, reinforcing Charbonnet’s projectable volume. RT George Fant (knee) is also listed as doubtful.
