With Jerome Felton and Henry Hynoski off the market, Collins is the top fullback available. He struggled blocking for Joique Bell in Detroit last season, but would be a solid addition for the Cowboys’ run game.

The 33-year-old will be a short-term hedge against losing Omar Cooper Jr. and it sounds like he will be given a chance to come up as an elevation over the next two weeks if the Jets like what they see in practice.

Goodson will backfill the roster spot lost to placing Malik Davis on IR at the end of last week. It’s unclear whether Emari Demercado or Goodson would be the head of a committee if Javonte Williams were injured, as both of them showed up with the Cowboys after last cuts. Neither player is a must-roster as things stand.

X-Rays were negative and Delane’s shoulder was stable after he left upon falling down on his interception three snaps in. We saw plenty of L’Jarius Sneed in Week 1’s win over the Broncos, with Kristian Fulton also joining the fold against three-wide sets. The Chiefs are hoping the No. 6 overall pick won’t be sidelined too long.

Recovery is expected to take a few months, per Wilson. It sounds like it’s possible To’oTo’o can return around Thanksgiving. Jake Hansen took over at linebacker in-game and seems like the likely fill-in at the position in the short-term.

The phrasing at the end of that sentence makes it clear the Jets are pondering not sending him to injured reserve. Fantasy managers who took the plunge in non-dynasty leagues do not necessarily have to hold on to Cooper through the early weeks if something catches their eye on the wire.

“The last time you could say that about a rookie tailback was 2021, when Elijah Mitchell got 19 carries in the season opener,” Barrows writes. We don’t know exactly how much Christian McCaffrey’s usage will be dialed back this year after playing just 55 percent of the snaps in Australia, but Black needs to be rostered in all leagues at this point even if he doesn’t retain stand-alone value. And he might just have some stand-alone value if things trend in this direction.

He expects Deebo Samuel’s snap count to rise as well, but says “perhaps Robinson’s will rise more.” Barrows also notes that Robinson seems to have a good rapport with Brock Purdy, and that Robinson’s late-game stretch with a Purdy that was “back and feeling like himself late in the season” was likely no coincidence. Robinson is definitely a FLEX possibility this week in deeper leagues or if you’ve missed your desired boat on the waiver wire.

He was spotted in crutches after the game. Sampson’s absence will leave Raheim Sanders as a potential third-down back and primary backup for Quinshon Judkins. Jaleel McLaughlin is a potential practice squad elevation if Sampson is placed on injured reserve.

Breer believes the split from Week 1 is “probably a good window into how they’ll manage” Love’s rookie year. Not exactly what we wanted to hear. Breer also mentions that James Connor could “help lighten the load” when he comes back. Love had 13 touches in Week 1. It sounds like this backfield will run by committee even after spending the No. 3 overall pick on Love.

At least a couple times a year Campbell has to tell reporters that he’s not worried about Williams’ sometimes-egregious drops, and that his playing time won’t suffer as a result. “I mean, look, nobody’s more frustrated than he is about it, but what I love is this just shows his growth,” Campbell said. “He bounced back, he gets back in the huddle. He’s not sulking, he’s not pouting about it, he’s not letting it go in the tank.” Williams in Week 1 against the Saints had two drops, one of which could have gone for a long score. He led the Lions with 128 air yards (a 56 percent share) and was second on the team with a 23 percent target share. Williams ran a route on 37 of Detroit’s 40 drop backs. He should be locked into lineups for Thursday night’s matchup against the Bills.
