Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (oblique) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Walker left in the final minutes of the Seahawks’ Week 1 victory over the Broncos, but told reporters after that he was feeling good. He now starts out Week 2 as a non-participant in practice, attributed to an oblique injury. If Walker can practice later in the week, it would be good news for his Week 2 status, but if he cannot, Zach Charbonnet is bumped up to RB2 upside against the Patriots.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Bengals QB Joe Burrow told ESPN’s Ben Baby his wrist his “continually getting better.”

Burrow tore a ligament in his wrist Week 11 of last season, undergoing surgery in November. Viewers saw him flexing his wrist in the Week 1 loss to the Patriots, bringing speculation that he is not fully healthy yet. However, Burrow denied the wrist was an issue, saying “I’m always moving it around, keeping it loose.” The Bengals have listed him on the injury report the first couple weeks of the season, but Burrow was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice and there will be no doubt as to if he will play Sunday, though managers may still have concerns over his wrist until he produces a big game.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Lamar Jackson returned to practice ahead of the Ravens’ Week 2 game against the Raiders.

Jackson mysteriously missed Monday’s practice and head coach John Harbaugh didn’t give an update on his absence. He noted that some players missed the session for injury-related reasons while others were personal absences. It’s possible Jackson’s was related to something other than his health. Barring another surprise, fantasy managers can consider Jackson good to go as a high-end QB1 for his upcoming matchup with Las Vegas.
David Njoku

CLE Tight End #85

Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) will not play in Week 2 against the Jaguars.

Njoku suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Browns’ Week 1 loss to the Cowboys. Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters he is week-to-week after the game. He then ruled Njoku out on Wednesday. Jordan Akins was the only other Cleveland tight end to run a route in Week 1. Akins caught three passes for 27 yards versus Dallas. Fantasy managers can likely do better than Akins as a streaming option off the waiver wire.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters earlier on Wednesday that Higgins is making progress with his hamstring injury and is considered day-to-day. However, his absence from practice suggests he still has at least one more week to go before he is ready to suit up. Andrei Iosivas ran every route for the Bengals in Week 1 but was held to three receptions for 26 yards. Fantasy managers can hold onto him as a desperation FLEX play for one more week.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Kyler Murray said it’s “not my job” to force the ball to Marvin Harrison, Jr.

Murray and Arizona coaches said the Buffalo defense made a concerted effort in Week 1 to take away Harrison, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Harrison had one catch on three targets for four yards against the Bills. “As a quarterback, obviously, you’re going through your reads,” Murray said. “Sometimes the ball goes to him, but that’s not my job. I have a sense and a feel for guys when they don’t get the ball and when they are getting the ball, but I leave that up to [OC Drew Petzing]. He tells me, ‘Don’t worry about that type of stuff. Just keep playing your game and get the ball to where the ball is supposed to go.’” Though Harrison should be more involved in Week 2 against the Rams, a passing attack based on Harrison appears unlikely for now.
Hollywood Brown

KC Wide Receiver #5

Marquise Brown (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Brown missed Week 1 with a shoulder injury he sustained in the preseason and seems iffy for Week 2. If Brown remains sidelined against the Bengals, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice will continue operating as KC’s top two wideouts.
Deshaun Watson

CLE Quarterback #4

Deshaun Watson’s attorney released a statement denying the most recent sexual misconduct allegation against him.

Watson’s attorneys said in the statement that he would defend himself in court “at the appropriate time.” Watson, per the statement, is “going to focus his effort and concentration on football.” The legal filing against Watson claims the misconduct happened four years ago when he was a member of the Houston Texans. Watson in 2020 faced dozens of sexual misconduct allegations, all of which he denied.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #1

Josh Downs (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

The Colts have long targeted a Week 2 return for Downs, who suffered a high ankle sprain last month during training camp. It’s possible Downs could see limited usage in his return to the Colts lineup. With Downs sidelined in Week 1 against the Texans, Adonai Mitchell and Alec pierce joined Michael Pittman in three-receiver sets. Pierce had two long connections with Anthony Richardson while Mitchell turned 85 air yards into two actual yards.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Week 2 against the Bills.

Achane was able to get in a walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Raheem Mostert will miss Thursday night’s game with a chest injury he sustained last week against Jacksonville. Achane, meanwhile, picked up an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of that game and could be held out against Buffalo. That would leave Jeff Wilson as the likely lead back for Miami with rookie Jaylen Wright mixing in. Wilson in Week 1 had five carries for 26 yards. Wright was a Week 1 healthy scratch.
