Kareem Hunt

Running Back #27

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs will bring in free agent RB Kareem Hunt for a visit Tuesday.

The Chiefs are going to be without Isiah Pacheco for 6-8 weeks, and with Clyde Edwards-Helaire also on injured reserve, Kansas City is low on tailbacks. Hunt, of course, is a former third-round pick who had success with Kansas City, but was released after a tape was released showing him committing a heinous act of domestic violence. In 2023 for the Browns, Hunter ran for 411 yards on 135 carries while adding 15 receptions for 84 yards.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Isiah Pacheco is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his fractured fibula.

Pacheco will undergo surgery this week according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and the hope is that he will be able to return during the regular season from his fractured fibula. The Chiefs had already announced that the 25-year-old would be placed on injured reserve, and now there’s a little more clarity in the timeline. For now the Chiefs are expected to roll with Carson Steele and Samaje Perine, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire eligible to return off IR in Week 5. It’s a very disappointing development for Pacheco and fantasy managers who roster him, as he was off to a strong start to begin the 2024 campaign.
Tua Tagovailoa

MIA Quarterback #1

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that the team is unsure if Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be placed on injured reserve.

McDaniel said that there’s not enough information yet for the Dolphins to determine how long Tagovailoa will be out. The left-handed quarterback is meeting with neurologists this week, and that will go a long way towards determining when — and if — he can make that return to the gridiron. Skyler Thompson will get the nod in Tagovailoa’s absence, and the team signed Tyler Huntley to be Thompson’s backup from the Ravens’ practice squad. Fantasy managers should be prepared for Tagovailoa not to be on the field for a while.
Terron Armstead

MIA Tackle #72

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel told reporters monday that LT Terron Armstead (shoulder) is day-to-day ahead of Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Armstead left Thursday’s game with a shoulder injury, and while the initial prognosis was that the 6-foot-5 tackle would miss a few weeks, it’s possible he could play in Week 3 in Seattle. Consider him questionable for that contest, but more likely to miss one game than to be back in action.
Justin Herbert

LAC Quarterback #10

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that X-rays on Justin Herbert’s leg returned negative.

When asked if Herbert could still undergo an MRI, Harbaugh told reports that he believed evaluations will continue as the week goes on. The quarterback was “rolled up” on during a second half sack and looked to be in significant pain, although he was able to return without missing a snap. t’s a situation to monitor, but Herbert seems more likely to play than not in Week 3 against the Steelers.
Bryce Young

CAR Quarterback #9

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Bryce Young will not start against the Raiders in Week 3.

Instead, it will be Andy Dalton who starts at quarterback against Baltimore. Young was horrible in Week 2 in the 26-3 loss to the Chargers with just 84 yards and a pick on 26 attempts against Los Angeles. The first-overall pick will get a chance to watch against Baltimore and likely will get his starting gig back at some point, but this has been an objective disaster thus far. Carolina might as well start studying the film tape of Carson Beck and Shedeur Sanders even more closely now.
Graham Gano

NYG Kicker #9

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said K Graham Gano (hamstring) will miss a few weeks.

Gano injured his hamstring on the opening kickoff of New York’s Week 2 game against the Commanders and could not kick for the remainder of the contest. The team will likely host kicker tryouts in the coming days before their Week 3 game against the Browns.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he was “encouraged” by Bo Nix’s Week 2 performance.

“I feel a confident player. From that standpoint, I’m encouraged,” Payton told reporters after Nix had another dismal outing, completed 20-of-35 passes for 246 yards and two interceptions in a 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Through two weeks, Nix ranks 29th out of 32 qualifying QBs in EPA per drop back. His deep ball has been severely lacking and even his intermediate attempts have been off the mark in his first two pro starts. Payton’s comments suggest Nix will have a long leash this season. Nix goes up against the Bucs in Week 3.
Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tyjae Spears’ ankle injury is “nothing major.”

Spears sustained the ankle injury in the third quarter of the Titans’ Week 2 loss to the Jets. He did not return to the game, but Rapoport said the back “should be OK.” If Spears is able to practice this week, he should maintain his RB2 duties behind Tony Pollard, who has 33 rushes for 144 yards and a touchdown through two games. Pollard would be a top-12 option if Spears is sidelined next week.
DeForest Buckner

IND Defensive Lineman #99

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Colts DL DeForest Buckner (ankle) is a “long shot” to play in Week 3 against the Bears.

Buckner was helped off the field Sunday against the Packers after sustaining what appeared to be a serious lower leg injury. X-rays on the ankle came back negative and Buckner will undergo more testing in the coming days. Rapoport said it does not appear to be a long-term injury for Buckner, the Colts’ best defensive player. Without Buckner, the Colts have one of the worst front sevens in the NFL.
