“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.

This shouldn’t come as a major surprise since Love’s knee injury was initially reported to be a multi-week injury; however, as Russini points out “The Packers are trying to keep all competitive advantages intact, which includes forcing opponents to prepare for all their QBs.” In reality, Russini believes that “The most optimistic timeline would have him back for Week 4 against the Vikings if there are no snags.” When he does come back, Love is expected to play with a knee brace for protection and function which could impact his overall mobility. Fantasy managers with Love should expect the quarterback to miss the next two or three games.

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.

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.

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.

Collins was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday because of the illness. He was a full-go on Friday before being removed. Coming off a six-catch, 117-yard opening game, Collins sits on the WR1/2 border for his upcoming matchup with the Bears.

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.

Sewell had his ankle rolled on in the Lions’ Week 1 win over the Rams. He was held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week before being upgraded to a limited session on Friday. Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters he wasn’t sure if Sewell would be able to play and that they are trying to be smart about his injury. The All-Pro right tackle is truly questionable for Week 2. Dan Skipper would likely be the next man up if Sewell can’t go.

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports “No injury designation for Texans veteran tight end Dalton Schultz (minor sprained ankle), who had full practice Friday in his return after being held out Wednesday and Thursday for precautionary reasons.” Schultz is good to go for the Texans’ Sunday Night Football game against the Bears.

Williams seemingly suffered the injury when he took a shot to the lower leg versus the Rams in Week 1. He had his ankle taped up but returned without any issues. Williams was limited in practice for all three sessions this week. He appears to be on the right side of questionable heading into the weekend, but fantasy managers will want to check the Lions’ inactives 90 minutes before kickoff to be sure. If Wiliams is active, he will sit on the WR2/3 border in a potential shootout with the Bucs.
