Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zay Flowers (hamstring) will not return in Week 1 against the Colts.

Flowers put in more than a day’s worth of work in the first half of Sunday’s game. He opened the game with a 49-yard reception that fell just two yards shy of a touchdown, but found the end zone in the second quarter when he burst upfield for a 54-yard score to put the Ravens up 21-6. Flowers’ day officially ends with a 5-150-1 line on six targets. Flowers was dealing with this hamstring injury entering Sunday’s game, but hopefully it won’t keep him on the sidelines for Week 2’s game against the Saints.
Ja'Kobi Lane

BAL Wide Receiver #6

Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 1’s game against the Colts.

Lane caught 1-of-3 targets for 11 yards in his pro debut and had a short touchdown overturned in the second quarter on a holding penalty. Lane was seeing significant work in the first half. His 24 first-half snaps, per TruMedia, were good for the second-most among Ravens receivers. We’ll now wait for word on his status ahead of Week 2’s game against the Saints.
Keaton Mitchell

LAC Running Back #34

Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) is active for Week 1 against the Cardinals.

Mitchell, a limited participant in practice for much of the week, will suit up for the Bolts’ season opener against Arizona. He should see a handful of designed touches in Mike McDaniel’s offense while Omarion Hampton functions as the team’s lead back and Kimani Vidal mixes in here and there. Mitchell can be used as a second flex option for now. Chargers declared S RJ Mickens, CB Deane Leonard, OL Logan Taylor, OL Alex Harkey, and OL Trevor Penning inactive for their season opener.
Jeremiyah Love

ARI Running Back #4

Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is active for Week 1 against the Chargers.

Love missed a few weeks after sustaining a high ankle injury in his only preseason action but had enough time to get right before Week 1. The rookie first rounder will likely function as Arizona’s unquestioned No. 1 back barring any setbacks to his ankle injury. While his Week 1 matchup against LA is less than ideal, Love should be in all fantasy lineups. Cardinals declared Carson Beck, RG Isaiah Adams, DB Garrett Williams, S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson, DL Andrew Billings, and WR Reggie Virgil inactive for the team’s season opener.
Omar Cooper

NYJ Wide Receiver #11

Omar Cooper Jr. suffered an ankle injury in the Jets’ Week 1 game against the Titans and will not return.

The maligned first-round rookie had a rugged, 30-yard catch-and-run to the Titans’ four-yard line on the Jets’ opening series, but got his right ankle rolled up on in the process. He required the assistance of a cart, but the Jets claimed he might still return. He was then ruled out at halftime. It’s a brutal blow for a first-rounder who supposedly had a rough summer. Despite the delayed ruleout, Cooper should definitely be considered on the wrong side of questionable for Week 2. If he is occupying one of your final bench spots, he will be a shaky hold during this week’s all-important waivers run.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (hamstring) is questionable to return in Week 1 against the Colts.

Flowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury, but that didn’t appear to slow him early on. In one half of play, Flowers has caught five passes for 150 yards and one touchdown, and had receptions of 49 and 54 yards. We’ll see if Flowers can return in the second half, but if not, Lamar Jackson will have Rashod Bateman and Ja’Kobi Lane as his top two receivers the rest of the way.
Brian Thomas

JAC Wide Receiver #7

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) is questionable to return Week 1 against the Browns.

Thomas exited in the second quarter against the Browns with a shoulder issue. He had three receptions prior to his exit and is questionable to return. Rookie Josh Cameron will see more opportunities while Thomas is out.
Dylan Sampson

CLE Running Back #22

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) is ruled out for Week 1 against the Jaguars.

Sampson returned a kickoff and played on a third down play against the Jaguars before exiting in the first quarter. He left for the locker room with a knee injury and was promptly ruled out. Third-string running back Raheim Sanders will get more run with Sampson out.
A.J. Brown

NE Wide Receiver #1

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports A.J. Brown won’t require surgery on his injured ankle.

Schefter added Brown will miss four to six weeks with the high ankle sprain he sustained on Wednesday night against the Seahawks. It could be much longer than that before Brown is back to full health and operating as the Patriots’ alpha WR1. For now, Mack Hollins will slide into three-receiver sets and Romeo Doubs — who didn’t catch any of his three targets against Seattle — will likely function as Drake Maye’s top option. Demario Douglas could be an interesting add in deeper formats after leading the team with seven targets in Week 1.
Za'Darius Smith

ATL Defensive End #55

Falcons declared QB Tua Tagovailoa, QB Michael Penix, DB Billy Bowman Jr., DB Malcom DeWalt IV, ILB Christian Harris, and OL Ethan Onianwa inactive for Week 1 against the Steelers.

We knew earlier this week that both Penix (knee) and Tagovailoa (back) would be sidelined, and that Cooper Rush would start. EDGE Za’Darius Smith was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but he will suit up for this one. Christian Harris, who had been a favorite to start at inside linebacker, is a healthy inactive, which means rookies Kendal Daniels or Harold Perkins Jr. will see extended run.
