Brian Thomas

JAC Wide Receiver #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Broncos.

Thomas missed a little time in Week 1 after landing on his injured shoulder, but was able to return. The Jaguars’ X-receiver could face Broncos CB Pat Surtain on the perimeter this week, but he should get a few chances to make big plays downfield. He remains a FLEX starter in Week 2.
Puka Nacua

LA Wide Receiver #12

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) did not practice on Friday.

This could be related to the groin and psoas issues Nacua dealt with in August and earlier this month. The Rams’ star wide receiver has an extra day to get this figured out, but it is a tad concerning. For now, make backup plans. It is possible that Nacua is unable to play in Week 2 against the Giants on Monday night. Nacua’s direct backup, WR Jordan Whittington (quad), also missed practice on Friday.
Aaron Donald

LA Defensive Tackle #99

Rams DT Aaron Donald said he expects to play in Week 2 against the Giants.

Earlier today, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Donald “hopes” to play on Monday night. A few hours later, Rams coach Sean McVay said he hopes Donald will play this week, but that they need to listen to how Donald is feeling after going through team drills. Donald is evidently feeling good following Friday’s practice and should apparently be expected to face the Giants.
Trey McBride

ARI Tight End #85

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (rest/back) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the Seahawks.

McBride is good to go for the Cardinals’ matchup against the Seahawks and can be treated as a shoo-in TE1, per usual. The Seahawks are without S Ty Okada (hamstring), theoretically making life a little easier for McBride. Fellow S Nick Emmanwori (hip/ankle) is questionable.
Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (ribs) is questionable for Week 2 against the Raiders.

McConkey managed a limited session Friday and eventually drew the questionable tag as he attempts to play through a rib injury suffered in Week 1. Considering his value to this team, we would expect him to do what he can to play. That said, fantasy managers find themselves in a pickle with the Chargers not playing until the afternoon portion of games, meaning alternate plans should be in the works over the weekend. McConkey is a locked-in WR2 with WR1 upside, if active.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Nico Collins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bengals.

Collins was added to the injury report on Thursday and will miss Week 2 with yet another soft tissue injury. Considering his lengthy history of hamstring issues, we would not be surprised if this turned into a multi-game absence for the talented alpha. Expect Kayshon Boutte to see an uptick in routes, while it is likely Xavier Hutchinson kicks to the perimeter to make room for Jaylin Noel in the slot. Collins’ absence benefits veteran tight end Dalton Schultz the most, whom enters the TE1 ranks in a matchup made in heaven against the inside-funnel Bengals.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (back) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Texans.

This listing is effectively a formality. Burrow laughed off the idea of missing the Bengals’ game against the Texans earlier this week, and today, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow is “good to go” after practicing in full. Burrow’s status is, of course, worth following, but we do expect him to play. Treat him as a QB1, per usual.
TreVeyon Henderson

NE Running Back #32

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play against the Steelers.

Henderson logged a complete week of full practices after missing Week 1 with the ankle injury, returning to the fold to join Rhamondre Stevenson as the top two rushers for the Patriots. The fact that he was able to practice in full for three straight days seems to indicate there won’t be any restrictions with his workload, meaning fantasy managers can start him as a viable FLEX option against the Steelers.
Michael Pittman

PIT Wide Receiver #11

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Patriots.

Pittman did not practice at all this week. If he plays, he could be fairly limited. We tentatively expect him to be inactive on game day, though. Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth had a solid role last week and could take on No. 2 pass-catcher duties if Pittman indeed cannot play. Steelers WR DK Metcalf will almost assuredly take on a larger role, operating as the team’s receiving focal point.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Saints.

Flowers entered the season at the tail end of a rehab program for the hamstring strain he suffered on August 31st. He logged two full practice sessions before dominating the Colts early on in Week 1. Unfortunately, Flowers balled too hard, aggravating the hamstring injury in the process. He is unlikely to play this week, but his return to practice today is a great sign for his Week 3 availability. The Ravens placed WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) on injured reserve this week. This means WRs Rashod Bateman, Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker could be asked to step up, although TE Mark Andrews will probably serve as the team’s top pass-catching option.
