Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

Reporting cutoff: September 22, 2026, 6:30 a.m. MDT / 8:30 a.m. ET.

All 16 Week 2 games are complete. This edition adds the Chiefs–Colts and Giants–Rams results, refreshes available usage for all 32 teams, and separates the newest Week 3 quarterback decisions from last week’s injury designations.

What changed

  • Jaxson Dart’s knee assessment is pending after Monday’s exit; Jameis Winston finished the game.
  • Michael Penix Jr., Marcus Mariota and Kyler Murray are confirmed Week 3 starters. Caleb Williams remains a week-to-week watch.
  • Alec Pierce and Dallas Goedert are expected to miss time. Cody White has reverted to the Raiders’ practice squad.
  • Released Week 2 snap counts now cover all 32 teams. Target, carry, red-zone and goal-line shares have been reconciled with completed-game records.

Before making a Week 3 move

Check the player’s current status and next opponent, then compare snaps with targets and carries in the Depth & Usage tool. The all-team formations show listed roles, announced quarterback changes and labeled replacement options. A Week 2 inactive is not automatically out in Week 3; a practice-squad player is not automatically eligible for the next game. These are completed-game measurements, not new fantasy-points projections.

Sources and limits

ESPN completed-game box scores were reconciled against nflverse play-by-play for team and individual targets and carries. Snap shares use the released Week 2 snap-count file. Red-zone and goal-line shares count targets plus rush attempts inside the opponent 20 and 5, respectively, divided by the corresponding team total. Records can change after statistical corrections. Routes, targets per route, first-read shares and new grades are not supplied without verified data. Historical 2025 tendencies and grades remain labeled with their original period.

Sunday evening edition remains available as dated coverage.

Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

Reporting cutoff: September 20, 2026, 9:10 p.m. MDT / 11:10 p.m. ET.

Updated results, player production and available usage data from 14 completed Week 2 games, with Chiefs–Colts excluded and Giants–Rams still pending.

What changed

  • Caleb Williams left with a hamstring injury; Tyson Bagent finished for Chicago. Jayden Daniels left with a dislocated elbow; Marcus Mariota replaced him.
  • Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele exited for Green Bay. Dallas Goedert and David Njoku did not return. Saquon Barkley returned but has an MRI planned.
  • Jonah Coleman received replacement backfield work in Denver, TreVeyon Henderson returned for New England, and Drew Lock threw three touchdowns to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
  • Completed-game targets, carries and scoring-area shares now use Week 2. Released snap counts are available for Buffalo and Detroit; Sunday snaps and route metrics remain pending.

How to read this update

The Depth & Usage tool and all-team formations share the refreshed player data. These are game actuals, not Week 3 projections. In-game exits do not automatically establish a future inactive designation. The illustrated formations retain listed roles with updated availability; a relief appearance is not an announcement of next week’s starter.

Sources and reporting notes

Final box scores were reconciled against the published nflverse Week 2 play-by-play for team and individual targets and carries. Red-zone shares count targets plus rush attempts inside the 20; goal-line shares use the 5. The play-by-play is preliminary and subject to statistical corrections. Missing route and snap data is not treated as zero. Historical 2025 tendencies and offensive-line grades keep their original periods. No first-read share, new grade or fantasy-points forecast is invented.

Sunday morning edition remains available as dated pregame context.

Baltimore RavensFlowers ruled out; Bateman leads the receiving optionsZay Flowers · OutJa’Kobi Lane · Injured reserveJohn Simpson · Questionable

Zay Flowers is out for Week 2. Baltimore identifies Rashod Bateman as its leading available receiver; Walker, Wester, Moore and Sarratt have opportunity, but no individual inherits a guaranteed target share. Stanley and Simpson remain questionable. Chris Moore is on the active roster and Ja’Kobi Lane is on injured reserve. Game-day inactives are not yet confirmed in this morning edition. Devontez Walker is listed behind Zay Flowers on the team depth chart. The formation uses that depth-based alternative because Zay Flowers is unavailable; this does not confirm the opening lineup or a workload.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Reporting cutoff: September 20, 2026, 9:00 a.m. MDT / 11:00 a.m. ET.

    The Sunday morning fantasy check covers all 32 teams, with current injury designations, reserve moves and offensive depth context. Final Sunday inactives have not been confirmed in this edition. Buffalo and Detroit have already played; Monday decisions remain separate.

    What changed

    • Zay Flowers is out. Replace him; Baltimore’s remaining receivers offer opportunity, not a guaranteed share.
    • Anthony Bradford is out. Seattle identifies Christian Haynes as next up, with Drew Lock starting at quarterback.
    • Omar Cooper Jr. and De’Zhaun Stribling are now confirmed on injured reserve.
    • The Giants’ completed report gives Andrew Thomas and Francis Mauigoa no game designation. Puka Nacua remains questionable for Monday.
    • Depth lists now account for recent IR moves, active-roster promotions and Week 2 elevations, including Cleveland, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Las Vegas.

    Before your lineup locks

    Early-game inactive lists are expected around 9:30 a.m. MDT / 11:30 a.m. ET. Check Burrow, Olave and McMillan in that window. Keep later alternatives for McConkey, Harvey, Black and Piñeiro; Bowers is doubtful. Monday’s Nacua decision requires an option from the Monday game. These are pending checks, not confirmed active designations.

    Fantasy impact

    Remove confirmed absences, preserve late-game alternatives and recheck each team’s inactive list before its kickoff. Joe Burrow remains questionable on Cincinnati’s official report despite full Friday participation. Brock Bowers is doubtful; plan tight-end cover before early options lock. The Depth & Usage tool and all-team depth charts and formations use the same dated availability update. Their usage percentages describe a completed game, not a new projection.

    Sources and reporting notes

    Official team injury, roster, depth and transaction pages were checked, with later team announcements taking precedence over older widgets. A questionable designation, an expected appearance and a confirmed active roster are different facts. This edition is a dated morning check, not a live inactive feed. Historical grades, usage and actuals retain their original source dates. No new workload percentages or points projections are inferred from an injury or elevation. Saturday morning edition remains available for context.

    NFL Week 2 status report

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Reporting cutoff: September 19, 2026, 5:20 a.m. MDT.

    Three confirmed quarterback changes lead the Week 2 check: Carson Wentz for Minnesota, Drew Lock for Seattle and Cooper Rush for Atlanta. This edition covers all 32 teams, with Friday game designations, Monday practice notes and Thursday follow-up kept in their proper time frames.

    What changed

    • Carson Wentz starts with Kyler Murray out; Drew Lock replaces the injured Sam Darnold.
    • Cooper Rush starts for Atlanta, with Jack Strand named as the backup.
    • Nico Collins is out. Zay Flowers and Brock Bowers are doubtful, making replacement timing a priority.
    • Joe Burrow remains questionable. Puka Nacua missed Friday practice ahead of Monday; that is not a final game designation.
    • Buffalo and Detroit have already played Week 2. DJ Moore’s shoulder follow-up concerns Week 3.

    Fantasy impact

    Replace confirmed outs, keep alternatives for unresolved players and preserve a late-game option when the decision comes after the early games begin. A new starter or a teammate’s absence does not establish a new target share. The formation and depth tools now carry this dated availability check alongside the original, period-labeled usage data.

    Sources and reporting notes

    Checked against the NFL Week 2 report and the linked team announcements and follow-ups. This is a dated offensive availability snapshot, not a live inactive list or a complete reserve-list transaction log. Monday game statuses were pending at the cutoff. Earlier editions remain in the Pulse notebook; historical usage keeps its actual season, week and opponent.

    Team updates

    Buffalo Bills
    Allen scores five; Moore injury opens receiver snaps
    DJ Moore · Shoulder, left gameJoshua Palmer · Speculative addJosh Allen · Five total TDs

    What changed: Buffalo won 41–31 to move to 2–0. Allen threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 69 yards and two more. James Cook III had 101 rushing yards on 11 first-half carries and added a late 1-yard touchdown. Kincaid caught seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, Dawson Knox scored from a yard out, and Keon Coleman briefly left with an injury before returning.

    Fantasy impact: Moore was hurt landing in the end zone on a play wiped out by a holding penalty, so he finished without an official target. Until there is a diagnosis, treat him as a hold, not a drop. Palmer has the clearest path to more snaps; Skyler Bell is listed behind Moore on the depth chart but did not play offense in Week 1. Khalil Shakir dropped a third-down pass and remains a PPR flex, not a must-start.

    Depth/usage note: Moore stays in the formation with an injury flag while Buffalo’s long break plays out. Palmer’s note now reflects the Week 2 touchdown and his role after Moore’s exit.

    Detroit Lions
    St. Brown carries the passing game; patched line stalls Gibbs
    Amon-Ra St. Brown · 13 targets, 2 TDsJared Goff · 327 yards, 4 TDsDetroit O-line · Two starters out

    What changed: Detroit fell to 1–1. Goff threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns, and St. Brown caught nine of 13 targets for 142 yards and two scores. Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta each caught a touchdown. The Lions were without Mahogany (hip) and Miller (knee); Ben Bartch started at left guard, Larry Borom was the named replacement at right tackle, and Goff was sacked four times.

    Fantasy impact: St. Brown’s target volume makes him an every-week WR1. Gibbs stays a must-start, but 66 team rushing yards shows the risk while the line is short-handed. Campbell does not expect Mahogany’s injury to be long term.

    Depth/usage note: The line notes now show both starters were out Thursday and Juice Scruggs was cleared. Mahogany and Miller stay listed as starters because neither is expected to miss extended time.

    See the updated Lions depth and usage chart →

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Thursday Night Football is final: Bills 41, Lions 31. Josh Allen scored five touchdowns in the first game at the new Highmark Stadium, but DJ Moore’s shoulder injury is the result that matters most for fantasy rosters.

    Reporting cutoff: September 18, 2026, 12:45 a.m. MDT / 2:45 a.m. ET. Official snap counts were not yet posted.

    What changed

    • DJ Moore hurt his left shoulder before halftime and did not return. He had X-rays, and Joe Brady had no update after the game.
    • Joshua Palmer scored on a 43-yard touchdown, and Dalton Kincaid followed his Week 1 breakout with seven catches for 95 yards and a score.
    • Detroit played without starting LG Christian Mahogany and RT Blake Miller and managed 66 rushing yards on 20 carries.

    Fantasy impact

    • Hold Moore until Buffalo gives a diagnosis; the Bills do not play again until September 27. Palmer is the speculative add if you need receiver depth.
    • Kincaid is a weekly tight-end start. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff remain locked in; watch Detroit’s line health before trusting the run game.

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 17, 2026, 4:30 p.m. MDT / 6:30 p.m. ET. This follows the Thursday midday edition and does not replace it. Participation levels are each team's official second report of the week. Friday brings final game designations.

    Team updates

    Las Vegas Raiders
    Bowers misses a second straight practice
    Brock Bowers · Did not practice (knee) Michael Mayer · Start him

    CBS Sports reports, via ESPN's Ryan McFadden, that Bowers was again absent from the media portion of practice. Two full misses this week point toward a second straight inactive at the Chargers, though Friday is still a chance to change that. Athlon notes Las Vegas has not used injured reserve on him, which signals they expect him back well before Week 5.

    TSP read: This is the change from midday. Mayer went from a contingency to a starting tight end. He led the team in targets in Week 1 without Bowers.

    Baltimore Ravens
    Flowers sits again; receiver room down to four
    Zay Flowers · Did not practice (hamstring) Rashod Bateman · Start him

    RotoWire reports, citing Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun, that Flowers was a non-participant for the second time this week. With Ja'Kobi Lane already on injured reserve, Bateman, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester are the healthy receivers for Sunday against New Orleans. Flowers would need to practice in some form Friday to have a realistic case.

    TSP read: Plan without Flowers. Bateman is the beneficiary and belongs in lineups, and Walker is worth a deep-league look.

    Minnesota Vikings
    Murray limited again and trending toward Sunday
    Kyler Murray · Limited (concussion) Blake Cashman · Wrist Andrew Van Ginkel · Chest

    The Vikings' report lists Murray as limited for a second day, with defensive starters Cashman and Van Ginkel also added. Ian Rapoport said Thursday that Murray's limited work means he at least has a chance to play at Chicago if he keeps progressing. He still needs to clear an independent neurologist.

    TSP read: Do not drop Wentz yet, but do not plan around him either. Aaron Jones is the Minnesota start either way, and rain at Soldier Field argues for a run-leaning game plan.

    Cincinnati Bengals
    Burrow still limited on paper, better on the field
    Joe Burrow · Limited (back)

    Burrow's official designation did not change, but the Thursday report and practice video showed him in full pads throwing harder than Wednesday and working through drills. Cincinnati has given him no game designation and is ramping him up deliberately ahead of Houston.

    TSP read: Unchanged. Start Burrow. Friday's designation is the last thing to watch, and nothing today suggests one is coming.

    Houston Texans
    Nico Collins added with a hamstring injury
    Nico Collins · Limited (hamstring)

    ESPN reported that Collins hurt a hamstring at Wednesday's practice and is uncertain for Week 2 against Cincinnati. He appeared on the Thursday report as a limited participant.

    TSP read: Hamstrings this early are rarely worth the risk. Have a replacement ready and treat Friday's designation as the decision point, not a game-time call.

    New Orleans Saints
    Olave and Young added; Kamara full
    Chris Olave · Limited (hamstring) Alvin Kamara · Full (knee)

    NBC Sports reports Olave, Chase Young and long snapper Zach Wood were added Thursday. Olave left as a precaution and the injury is not expected to be a problem, and Young has calf soreness the team feels good about. Wood is the real loss, with a calf strain that could cost him over a month. Kamara practiced in full, and tight end Juwan Johnson was limited after sitting Wednesday with an illness.

    TSP read: Kamara practicing in full is the signal to watch after he sat out Week 1; Friday decides whether he is startable at Baltimore. Keep Olave in lineups for now but check Friday, since a precautionary exit can still turn into a designation.

    Atlanta Falcons
    Tagovailoa misses again; the Week 2 starter is unsettled
    Tua Tagovailoa · Did not practice (oblique) Michael Penix Jr. · Knee

    RotoWire reports Tagovailoa was a non-participant for a second straight day and is likely to miss a second straight game against Carolina. Penix gets the start if he is cleared from his knee injury; otherwise Cooper Rush makes his second start of the season.

    TSP read: Nobody in this quarterback room is startable in one-quarterback leagues until Friday sorts it out. Atlanta's pass catchers take a modest hit either way.

    Tonight: Bills–Lions
    Kickoff 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video
    Christian Mahogany · Out (hip) Blake Miller · Out (knee) Ty Johnson · Questionable (hamstring)

    Detroit ruled out guard Mahogany and tackle Miller, with cornerback D.J. Reed questionable; safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph were already out. Buffalo listed Cole Bishop, Ty Johnson and T.J. Sanders as questionable, while Terrel Bernard, Bradley Chubb and Jordan Hancock were cleared without a designation. Nobody was ruled out on the Bills' side.

    TSP read: Inactives land about 90 minutes before kickoff. Johnson is a third-down flier only, and Detroit's thinner line trims the run-game outlook without pushing the skill players out of lineups.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Thursday evening · September 17, 2026

    Second practice reports are in across the league. This edition updates the midday Pulse with the official Thursday participation levels, three new names that were added to injury reports this afternoon, and the final statuses for tonight's Bills–Lions game.

    Reporting cutoff: September 17, 2026, 4:30 p.m. MDT / 6:30 p.m. ET. This follows the Thursday midday edition and does not replace it. Participation levels are each team's official second report of the week. Friday brings final game designations.

    What changed since midday

    • Brock Bowers did not practice for a second straight day. Week 2 now looks unlikely rather than uncertain.
    • Zay Flowers was officially a non-participant again. Baltimore is down to four healthy receivers.
    • Kyler Murray was limited a second time and still needs independent neurologist clearance. Reporting now gives him a real chance to start Sunday.
    • Joe Burrow stayed listed as limited but did noticeably more on the field. No change to the expectation that he plays.
    • New to the reports: Nico Collins (hamstring) in Houston, and Chris Olave (hamstring) and Chase Young (calf) in New Orleans.
    • Tua Tagovailoa missed a second straight practice in Atlanta, putting the Falcons' Week 2 start in question.

    Fantasy impact

    Michael Mayer moves from a hold to a start. Rashod Bateman is the Ravens receiver to roster, not a speculative add. Aaron Jones stays the Minnesota back to start regardless of who plays quarterback. Burrow and the Bengals pass catchers need no adjustment. If you were counting on Collins or Olave, have a bench receiver ready before Sunday, because both situations can still move on Friday. This is our analysis, separate from the linked reporting.

    Teams with a second-report story

    What to check next

    Friday's final injury reports carry the game designations for Bowers, Flowers, Murray, Collins, Olave and the Atlanta quarterbacks. Tonight's Bills–Lions inactives come about 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Team updates

    Seattle Seahawks
    Darnold ruled out, Lock starts at Arizona
    Sam Darnold · Out (hip) Drew Lock · Starting

    Mike Macdonald ruled Darnold out for Week 2 but said the team does not plan to put him on injured reserve. The Seahawks report that Lock will take the starter's practice reps, with Jalen Milroe as the backup and no other quarterback being added.

    TSP read: Lock is a Week 2 streamer. He played most of Week 1, so Seattle's pass catchers keep the value they showed last week.

    Minnesota Vikings
    Murray limited; Mason to injured reserve
    Kyler Murray · Limited (concussion) Jordan Mason · IR (thumb)

    Murray was limited in the Vikings' first practice of the week as he works through the concussion protocol, leaving open a start at Chicago. Wentz starts if he does not clear. MPR News reports Mason went to injured reserve with a designation to return after a small thumb fracture, and Kevin O'Connell expects him back after the four-game minimum. Aaron Jones stays atop the depth chart, and Deejay Dallas was promoted from the practice squad. Receiver Jauan Jennings missed the first practice for a family matter.

    TSP read: Hold Wentz only in two-quarterback leagues until Friday. Jones is a stronger Week 2 start with Mason out. Dallas is a deep-league stash at most.

    Las Vegas Raiders
    Bowers has not practiced this week
    Brock Bowers · No practice yet (knee)

    Bowers is a little over a week removed from a meniscus trim. Klint Kubiak said he is still day to day and hopes Bowers can practice before Sunday. The Raiders play at the Chargers in the 4:05 p.m. ET window.

    TSP read: Keep Mayer rostered. If Bowers does not practice by Friday, Mayer is a streaming tight end, and the late kickoff leaves time to pivot.

    Baltimore Ravens
    Flowers has not practiced this week
    Zay Flowers · No practice yet (hamstring)

    Flowers aggravated a preseason hamstring issue in the Week 1 win at Indianapolis after a big first half. The Ravens listed him as a non-participant in the first practice of the week, and Jesse Minter still calls him day to day. Rookie Ja'Kobi Lane is on injured reserve after wrist surgery, and Chris Moore was moved to the 53-man roster.

    TSP read: This afternoon's practice report is the tell. Line up a replacement receiver for Sunday's 1 p.m. ET game against New Orleans.

    Cincinnati Bengals
    Burrow limited with back tightness, expects to play
    Joe Burrow · Limited (back)

    Burrow was limited to open the week and said the soreness showed up after the Week 1 win. NFL.com reports he expects to play at Houston. Joe Flacco is the backup.

    TSP read: Start Burrow as usual unless Friday's report adds a game designation.

    Detroit Lions
    Two offensive line starters out for Thursday night
    Christian Mahogany · Out (hip) Blake Miller · Out (knee) D.J. Reed · Questionable (foot)

    CBS Sports reports Detroit ruled out left guard Mahogany and right tackle Miller. Cornerback Reed is questionable after two limited practices this week.

    TSP read: Keep Detroit's skill players in lineups, but a thinner line trims expectations for the run game and raises pressure risk.

    Buffalo Bills
    Three questionable for the Highmark Stadium opener
    Ty Johnson · Questionable (hamstring) Cole Bishop · Questionable (knee, groin)

    NBC Sports reports Bishop, Johnson and defensive lineman T.J. Sanders are questionable. Linebacker Terrel Bernard has no designation. With Johnson resting in Week 1, Frank Gore Jr. took only five offensive snaps.

    TSP read: Johnson is a deep-league third-down option only. Check inactives about 90 minutes before kickoff.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Thursday · September 17, 2026

    This edition covers where things stand midday for the players we flagged on Tuesday, a new injured reserve move in Minnesota, and the final game statuses for tonight's Bills–Lions game.

    Reporting cutoff: September 17, 2026, 11:35 a.m. MDT / 1:35 p.m. ET. This follows the Tuesday usage and waivers edition. Practice participation is from each team's first official report of the week. Buffalo's session was a walkthrough, so its participation levels are estimates.

    What changed

    • Quarterbacks: Sam Darnold is ruled out and Drew Lock will start at Arizona. Kyler Murray was limited and has not been ruled out. Joe Burrow was limited with back tightness but says he will play.
    • Injured reserve: Jordan Mason (Minnesota) has a small thumb fracture and will miss at least four games.
    • No practice yet this week: Brock Bowers (knee) and Zay Flowers (hamstring).
    • Thursday night: Detroit is without two offensive line starters. Buffalo lists three players as questionable, including running back Ty Johnson.

    Fantasy impact

    Lock moves from a likely streamer to a confirmed one. Wentz stays a two-quarterback-league option until Murray's status is settled, which the Vikings hope to know by Friday. With Mason on IR, Aaron Jones takes the lead early-down role in Minnesota. Keep Michael Mayer rostered until Bowers practices, and have a receiver ready to replace Flowers if he misses Thursday too. This is our analysis, separate from the linked reporting.

    Teams with a practice-report story

    What to check next

    This afternoon's practice reports, due by 4 p.m. ET, for Murray, Bowers, Flowers and Burrow, then Friday's final game designations. Tonight's Bills–Lions inactives come about 90 minutes before kickoff.

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: Week 1 Usage and Week 2 Waiver Targets

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 15, 2026, 6:30 p.m. MDT / 8:30 p.m. ET. This follows the Monday injuries edition. Snap share is offensive snaps divided by team offensive plays. Target share is a player's share of his team's targeted passes. Carry share counts designed runs and leaves out quarterback scrambles. Red-zone opportunities are targets plus carries inside the opponent's 20. Usage comes from nflverse snap-count and play-by-play data for all 16 Week 1 games.

    Team updates

    Minnesota Vikings
    Wentz played 83% of snaps after Murray left
    Kyler Murray · Concussion protocol Carson Wentz · 83% snaps

    Murray was on the field for 17% of Week 1 snaps before his exit. The Vikings will take his status day by day, and the Star Tribune reports Wentz is expected to start at Chicago if Murray does not clear. Justin Jefferson played 92% of snaps and drew 39% of Minnesota's targets, including two in the red zone.

    TSP read: Wentz is a two-quarterback-league add. Jefferson's volume did not drop with the backup in.

    Seattle Seahawks
    Lock played 90% of snaps; Smith-Njigba drew 46% of targets
    Sam Darnold · Expected out Week 2 Drew Lock · 90% snaps

    Darnold was hurt on the fifth play of the opener. ESPN reports he is expected to miss at least the Week 2 game at Arizona, with Lock in line to start. Jaxon Smith-Njigba played 90% of snaps, drew 46% of Seattle's targets and had three red-zone targets.

    TSP read: Smith-Njigba's target share was the highest of any wide receiver in Week 1. Lock did not change who got the ball.

    Las Vegas Raiders
    Mayer played 81% of snaps with Bowers out
    Brock Bowers · Day to day Michael Mayer · 81% snaps

    Bowers missed the opener after a knee procedure, and the Raiders now call him day to day. Mayer played 81% of snaps with a 24% target share. Ashton Jeanty played 74% of snaps, took 64% of the carries, drew 21% of the targets and had seven red-zone opportunities.

    TSP read: Hold Mayer until Bowers practices fully. Jeanty's red-zone work is the headline here.

    Baltimore Ravens
    Flowers played 29% of snaps before his hamstring exit
    Zay Flowers · Day to day Ja’Kobi Lane · Wrist fracture reported

    Flowers' 29% snap share reflects his exit, not his role. The Monday edition covers his day-to-day status and Lane's reported wrist fracture. Chris Moore (37%) and LaJohntay Wester (29%) took the extra receiver snaps behind Rashod Bateman (78%). Mark Andrews drew 25% of targets, and Derrick Henry took 71% of the carries with six red-zone carries.

    TSP read: If Flowers sits, Andrews is the safest target. Moore and Wester are depth, not adds.

    Denver Broncos
    Pat Bryant led the team in target share
    Pat Bryant · 59% snaps · 22% targets

    Bryant played 59% of snaps and drew 22% of targets, the most on the team. Marvin Mims Jr. played 18%. Courtland Sutton (76%) and Jaylen Waddle (75%) led the receivers in snaps. J.K. Dobbins took 57% of the carries; RJ Harvey played more snaps (51%) and drew 15% of targets.

    TSP read: Bryant is a deep-league add. Dobbins leads the carries; Harvey is the bigger receiving threat.

    Chicago Bears
    Kalif Raymond drew 35% of targets
    Kalif Raymond · 60% snaps · 35% targets

    Raymond played 60% of snaps and led the Bears with a 35% target share. Luther Burden played 73% (19% of targets) and Rome Odunze 48% (12%). D'Andre Swift took 56% of the carries, six red-zone carries and three inside the 5.

    TSP read: One-week target spikes often fade, but Raymond is worth a look in deeper leagues. Swift's goal-line work matters.

    New York Giants
    Malachi Fields played 72% of snaps
    Malachi Fields · 72% snaps

    Fields led the receivers with 72% of snaps and 14% of targets. Malik Nabers played 52% but drew 31% of targets. Isaiah Likely drew 28% with four red-zone targets. Cam Skattebo took 51% of carries, with four red-zone carries, two inside the 5.

    TSP read: Nabers' target share matters more than his snap count. Likely is a tight end streamer.

    Los Angeles Chargers
    Tre' Harris played 75% of snaps
    Tre' Harris · 75% snaps

    Harris played 75% of snaps with a 22% target share. Ladd McConkey played 49% and drew 26% of targets, with two red-zone targets; the Monday edition covers his status. Omarion Hampton took 75% of the carries. David Njoku played 55% and drew 19% of targets.

    TSP read: Harris is the add if McConkey is limited.

    New England Patriots
    A.J. Brown on injured reserve; Hollins led the snap count
    A.J. Brown · Injured reserve Mack Hollins · 70% snaps

    Brown played 44% of snaps before a high ankle sprain. Bleacher Report cites NFL Network's report that he is expected to miss about six weeks. Mack Hollins played 70% of snaps (16% of targets), DeMario Douglas 62% (23%) and Romeo Doubs 56% (10%). Rhamondre Stevenson played 85% of snaps, took 72% of carries and drew 19% of targets.

    TSP read: Douglas is the target leader; Hollins has the snaps. Stevenson's workload is the most reliable piece here.

    Washington Commanders
    Burks was inactive; Dyami Brown played 53%
    Treylon Burks · Inactive (coach's decision)

    Burks was inactive for the opener; reports described it as a coach's decision. Dyami Brown played 53% of snaps. Stefon Diggs drew 31% of targets on 63% of snaps; Terry McLaurin played 87%. Rookie Antonio Williams had two red-zone targets. Jacory Croskey-Merritt took 55% of carries; Kaytron Allen had three red-zone carries on 10% of snaps.

    TSP read: Diggs is the volume receiver. Watch whether Allen keeps the short-yardage role.

    Green Bay Packers
    Brooks had the snaps, Lloyd had the carries
    Marshawn Lloyd · 62% carries Chris Brooks · 56% snaps

    With Josh Jacobs out, Chris Brooks played 56% of snaps but took 33% of carries. Marshawn Lloyd played 44% and took 62% of carries. Matthew Golden played 82% of snaps, drew 30% of targets and had three red-zone targets.

    TSP read: Lloyd is the runner to roster. Golden looks like the lead receiver.

    Pittsburgh Steelers
    Dowdle had the snaps, Warren had the carries
    Rico Dowdle · 58% snaps Jaylen Warren · 48% carries

    Rico Dowdle played 58% of snaps with 38% of carries. Jaylen Warren played 37% but took 48% of carries and had two red-zone targets. DK Metcalf played 96% of snaps and drew 27% of targets.

    TSP read: A true split. Neither back is a safe RB2 until one pulls ahead.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    Gainwell took 31% of carries
    Kenneth Gainwell · 46% snaps

    Bucky Irving played 61% of snaps, took 50% of carries and drew 26% of targets. Kenneth Gainwell played 46% and took 31% of carries. Ted Hurst played 75% of snaps; Emeka Egbuka drew 22% of targets.

    TSP read: Irving is the lead back. Gainwell is the handcuff to own.

    Los Angeles Rams
    Parkinson was the main tight end
    Colby Parkinson · 77% snaps

    Colby Parkinson played 77% of snaps; Tyler Higbee played 20%. Puka Nacua drew 33% of targets. Kyren Williams played 64% of snaps and took 39% of carries with four red-zone carries; Blake Corum took 36%.

    TSP read: Parkinson's snaps have not turned into targets yet (7%). Williams keeps the red-zone work.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Tuesday evening · September 15, 2026

    This edition puts Week 1 usage next to the depth chart. It covers the 14 teams where the snap, target or carry numbers told a different story than the listed order, or where a Week 2 injury changes who plays. Every figure is from Week 1 only, one game, so treat it as a first signal, not a settled role.

    Reporting cutoff: September 15, 2026, 6:30 p.m. MDT / 8:30 p.m. ET. This follows the Monday injuries edition. Snap share is offensive snaps divided by team offensive plays. Target share is a player's share of his team's targeted passes. Carry share counts designed runs and leaves out quarterback scrambles. Red-zone opportunities are targets plus carries inside the opponent's 20. Usage comes from nflverse snap-count and play-by-play data for all 16 Week 1 games.

    What changed

    • Quarterback starts: Carson Wentz is in line to start for Minnesota if Kyler Murray does not clear the concussion protocol, and Drew Lock is expected to start for Seattle with Sam Darnold out for Week 2.
    • Receivers who outplayed their listing: Pat Bryant (Denver), Kalif Raymond (Chicago), Malachi Fields (Giants), Tre' Harris (Chargers) and Mack Hollins (New England).
    • Backfield splits: Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay all divided snaps and carries in ways a single RB1 label hides.
    • Long absence: A.J. Brown is on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain.

    Fantasy impact

    For Week 2 waivers, the usage points to Wentz and Lock as streaming quarterbacks, Bryant and Raymond as receiver adds, Michael Mayer as a tight end hold while Brock Bowers is day to day, and Kenneth Gainwell as the Tampa Bay handcuff. In Green Bay and Pittsburgh, don't chase a single back: the snaps and the carries went to different players. This is our analysis, separate from the linked reporting.

    Teams with a usage story

    What to check next

    Wednesday's practice reports for Murray, Darnold, Bowers and Flowers. Buffalo and Detroit play Thursday, so their reports come first. Week 2 usage will show whether these Week 1 roles hold.

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: Week 1 Final — Chiefs and Broncos

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 14, 2026, 10:45 p.m. MDT / September 15, 12:45 a.m. ET.

    Team updates

    Kansas City Chiefs
    Walker confirms lead role; Johnson earns stash value
    Kenneth Walker III · 29 Week 1 opportunitiesEmmett Johnson · Preferred backfield stashPatrick Mahomes · Three total TDs

    What changed: Kansas City won 31–10. Walker rushed 23 times for 173 yards and a touchdown, then caught three of six targets for 18 yards and another score. Johnson supplied 68 scrimmage yards on 10 touches. Mahomes accounted for three touchdowns in his return from knee surgery.

    Fantasy impact: Walker’s 29 opportunities make him the clear start. Johnson’s secondary role makes him the preferred stash, not a standalone starter. Rashee Rice scored on two targets, Xavier Worthy drew six, Travis Kelce turned five targets into 71 yards, and Thornton did not catch his lone target.

    Depth/usage note: The completed game replaces the untested backfield assumption with an observed Walker-led split. One game does not establish a permanent weekly target share.

    See the final Week 1 Chiefs depth and usage chart →

    Denver Broncos
    Bryant emerges; Mims needs a hip follow-up
    Pat Bryant · 6 targetsMarvin Mims Jr. · Hip follow-up pendingJaylen Waddle · Flex, not automatic start

    What changed: Bryant caught four of six targets for 42 yards, leading Denver’s wide receivers in targets, catches and yards despite his backup listing. Courtland Sutton caught two of five targets for 11 yards, Waddle caught one of three for two, and Mims drew no target. Engram caught four of five targets for 43 yards and Denver’s only touchdown.

    Injury: Mims briefly left with a hip issue and returned. No Week 2 designation had been announced at the reporting cutoff.

    Fantasy impact: Put Bryant on the active watch list, keep Engram in the tight-end-option tier, treat Waddle as a flex rather than an automatic start, and monitor Mims. J.K. Dobbins led the backfield with eight carries for 36 yards; RJ Harvey had three carries and caught all four targets for 23 yards, a receiving role worth watching but not a locked flex.

    Depth/usage note: The listed receiver order did not match the Week 1 target order. Route and snap shares were not verified at this cutoff.

    See the final Week 1 Broncos depth and usage chart →

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Week 1 is closed. Kansas City’s backfield produced the clearest final role change, while Denver’s passing game left a new receiver to monitor and one injury follow-up unresolved.

    Reporting cutoff: September 14, 2026, 10:45 p.m. MDT / September 15, 12:45 a.m. ET.

    What changed

    • Kenneth Walker III handled 23 carries and six targets; Emmett Johnson added eight carries and two targets behind him.
    • Pat Bryant led Denver’s wide receivers with six targets, while Marvin Mims Jr. briefly left with a hip issue before returning.

    Fantasy impact

    • Start Walker and keep Johnson as the preferred Kansas City backfield stash. Tyquan Thornton returns to the bench.
    • Add Bryant to the watch list, move Jaylen Waddle to flex range, and wait for a Mims health update. Evan Engram remains Denver’s best-supported tight-end option.

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: Monday Injuries and Week 2 Decisions

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 14, 2026, 8:05 p.m. MDT / 10:05 p.m. ET. This updates the Sunday all-team edition. Active-list labels describe pregame availability, not a player’s health throughout a game. Day to day, a player’s expectation and an estimated recovery window are not final Week 2 game designations.

    Team updates

    Baltimore Ravens
    Flowers day to day; Lane needs further evaluation
    Zay Flowers · Day to day Ja’Kobi Lane · Wrist fracture reported

    Updated in this edition. Jesse Minter described Flowers as day to day Monday after his hamstring exit. Lane faces a potentially longer absence; Baltimore is gathering further medical opinions, and the team report attributes a fractured wrist to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Neither update supplies a final Week 2 game designation.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a replacement available for Flowers. Bateman, Walker and Sarratt are names to watch if the receiver group is short, but no replacement has been promised a full target share.

    Baltimore Ravens report and attribution

    Minnesota Vikings
    Murray remains in concussion protocol
    Kyler Murray · Concussion protocol Carson Wentz · Week 2 contingency

    Updated in this edition. Kevin O’Connell said Monday that Kyler Murray remains in concussion protocol after leaving Sunday’s game. Minnesota has not settled its Week 2 starter. Carson Wentz led four touchdown drives in relief, and the team’s report explains why he was the second quarterback.

    Fantasy impact: Have a playable alternative to Murray. Wentz is the relevant contingency to monitor, while Sunday’s emergency designation for J.J. McCarthy should not be mistaken for a new starting announcement.

    Minnesota Vikings report and attribution

    Seattle Seahawks
    Darnold’s injury clarified; return date remains open
    Sam Darnold · Return date unconfirmed

    Updated in this edition. Seattle’s Monday update identifies a glute soft-tissue injury, with the hip joint unaffected. The team considers it short term but has not supplied a firm return timeline. This replaces the earlier description of an unresolved hip problem.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a quarterback alternative ready, particularly in superflex leagues. Drew Lock remains the contingency from the previous edition; do not turn “short term” into a confirmed Week 2 return.

    Updated in this edition. Mike Vrabel said Monday that TreVeyon Henderson and Ben Brown would probably try some work that day before further assessment. The coach’s expectation does not confirm completed practice participation or game clearance.

    Fantasy impact: Check the next published participation report before changing a lineup. Keep a backfield alternative available while Henderson’s workload remains unresolved.

    Cleveland Browns
    Sampson evaluation continues; Watson expected to start
    Dylan Sampson · Wednesday update expected Deshaun Watson · Expected Week 2 starter

    Updated in this edition. Todd Monken said Monday that Dylan Sampson’s knee injury is still being evaluated and more information is expected Wednesday. The Browns also identify Deshaun Watson as their expected Week 2 starter. Zion Johnson returned during Sunday’s game, with a further assessment expected when practice resumes.

    Fantasy impact: Do not assign Sampson an absence length before the next report. Keep backfield contingency plans flexible; the quarterback announcement does not by itself raise the receiving group’s weekly floor.

    Denver Broncos
    Monday inactive list confirmed
    Tyler Badie · Monday inactive Marvin Mims Jr. · Monday active list

    Updated in this edition. Denver’s official Monday scratches are Tyler Badie, Dallen Bentley, Kage Casey, Jordan Jackson, Tyler Onyedim and emergency third quarterback Sam Ehlinger. No player was ruled out due to injury. Marvin Mims Jr. is not on that inactive list after clearing the injury report.

    Fantasy impact: The old “Monday inactives pending” note is resolved. This is game-day availability, not a live injury or workload update; assess the completed game before treating an active player as a reliable Week 2 option.

    Denver Broncos report and attribution

    Kansas City Chiefs
    Mahomes, Rice and Worthy clear Monday’s inactive list
    Patrick Mahomes · Monday active list Rashee Rice · Monday active list Xavier Worthy · Monday active list

    Updated in this edition. Kansas City’s official inactives are Jared Wiley, Garrett Nussmeier (third quarterback), Chamarri Conner, Jack Pyburn, Diego Pounds, Josh Simmons and Bryson Eason. Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are not among them.

    Fantasy impact: The pregame availability question is settled. These labels describe the opening active group, not health throughout the game or final usage. Simmons’ absence remains relevant when assessing protection.

    Kansas City Chiefs report and attribution

    Las Vegas Raiders
    Tight-end recovery watch
    Brock Bowers · Day to day

    Updated in this edition. NFL.com reports that Klint Kubiak called Brock Bowers day to day Monday following a meniscus trim.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a tight-end alternative available. This is an update on recovery, not clearance for the next game; wait for practice participation and the final designation before restoring a player to a locked lineup.

    Las Vegas Raiders report and attribution

    Los Angeles Chargers
    McConkey day to day; Lambert-Smith may miss time
    Ladd McConkey · Day to day KeAndre Lambert-Smith · Expected to miss time

    Updated in this edition. Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Ladd McConkey has a rib injury and is day to day. KeAndre Lambert-Smith has a hamstring injury and is expected to miss time, although no IR decision was announced. Elijah Molden is also day to day with a hamstring issue.

    Fantasy impact: Prepare receiver depth without treating McConkey as already ruled out. The next practice reports should guide decisions; extra opportunity elsewhere in the offense is not yet a guaranteed target allocation.

    Los Angeles Chargers report and attribution

    Dallas Cowboys
    Sunday inactive list closes the Abanikanda question
    Israel Abanikanda · Inactive Sunday

    Updated in this edition. Israel Abanikanda was listed among Dallas’ Sunday inactives by the Week 1 inactive tracker. His earlier move onto the roster did not make him a game-day fantasy option.

    Fantasy impact: Do not carry the earlier emergency-option suggestion forward. A roster signing and an active-game role are separate decisions; check the next active list before considering depth backs.

    Dallas Cowboys report and attribution

    New York Giants
    Nabers’ Sunday availability question was resolved
    Malik Nabers · Active Sunday Najee Harris · Inactive Sunday

    Updated in this edition. Malik Nabers was active for Sunday night after entering the weekend questionable. Najee Harris, Dalen Cambre and Thomas Fidone II were among New York’s inactive players. The earlier advice to wait for the Sunday-night list has expired.

    Fantasy impact: Nabers’ active status answers the Week 1 roster question. It does not establish an unrestricted workload or clear him for Week 2. Use the next practice report when setting a new lineup.

    Detroit Lions
    Pacheco faces extended absence; line under watch
    Isiah Pacheco · Extended absence Blake Miller · Walkthrough non-participant

    Updated in this edition. Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that Isiah Pacheco had back surgery and faces an extended absence. Detroit’s report attributes a possible 12-week recovery to Ian Rapoport; that is an estimate. On Monday’s estimated walkthrough report, Blake Miller and Christian Mahogany were non-participants, Juice Scruggs was limited and Christian Izien was full.

    Fantasy impact: Gibbs remains central to the backfield plan, but the short week and offensive-line health matter. A walkthrough estimate is not a final game designation. Avoid planning around an exact Pacheco return week.

    Coker describes precautionary boot after ankle injury
    Jalen Coker · Ankle follow-up

    Updated in this edition. Jalen Coker said Monday that the boot on his left foot was precautionary after he rolled his ankle Sunday and played through it. He expects not to miss time; that is the player’s expectation, not an official Week 2 clearance.

    Fantasy impact: Keep him on the practice-report watch list. Finishing a game does not settle the following week’s availability.

    Myles Garrett · Return timeline unknown

    Updated in this edition. Sean McVay has no firm return timetable for Myles Garrett following knee surgery, NFL.com reports.

    Fantasy impact: Account for the pass-rush uncertainty when evaluating the Rams defense. Avoid treating the earliest possible return as a recovery promise, and recheck availability before committing to this defense.

    Updated in this edition. NFL Network reports De’Zhaun Stribling will miss at least a month with an ankle sprain.

    Fantasy impact: Treat this as an attributed recovery estimate, not a guaranteed return date. Short-bench managers need an available replacement; deeper leagues can weigh a stash. This report does not settle the separate Jake Tonges question.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    Monday evening · September 14, 2026

    This edition refreshes 15 team reports with Monday injury news and resolved game-day availability. The other 17 team panels link to the retained Sunday report; they have not been freshly rechecked for this edition. This is a dated notebook, not live game coverage.

    Reporting cutoff: September 14, 2026, 8:05 p.m. MDT / 10:05 p.m. ET. This updates the Sunday all-team edition. Active-list labels describe pregame availability, not a player’s health throughout a game. Day to day, a player’s expectation and an estimated recovery window are not final Week 2 game designations.

    What changed

    • Quarterback planning: Murray remains in concussion protocol; Seattle has clarified Darnold’s injury without confirming a return date.
    • Receiver decisions: Flowers and McConkey are day to day. Baltimore and the Chargers have additional receiver absences to assess.
    • Backfield watch: Pacheco faces an extended absence; Sampson’s next update is expected Wednesday.
    • Pending lists resolved: Denver and Kansas City have announced Monday inactives; the Giants’ Sunday-night Nabers decision is also recorded below.

    Fantasy impact

    Use the next practice reports to build Week 2 alternatives at quarterback, receiver and tight end. Do not treat a promising recovery description as clearance or a teammate’s absence as a guaranteed replacement workload. Our fantasy advice below is analysis, separate from the linked reporting.

    All 32 teams

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: Sunday Injuries, Inactives and All 32 Teams

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 13, 2026, 2:55 p.m. MDT / 4:55 p.m. ET. This afternoon edition updates the dated Saturday all-team review. Early-game information below includes completed-game reporting; afternoon active lists describe pre-kickoff decisions, not a live injury feed. Sunday-night and Monday decisions remain pending where identified. Retained context is labeled, and a fresh check does not mean every team has a new development or every player is healthy.

    Team updates

    Buffalo BillsTy Johnson inactive; Dortch and Gore confirmed activeTy Johnson / Skyler Bell · Inactive Dortch / Gore Jr. · Active

    Sunday confirmation: Buffalo made Ty Johnson and rookie receiver Skyler Bell inactive against Houston. Greg Dortch and Frank Gore Jr., elevated Saturday, were explicitly confirmed active by the Bills. T.J. Sanders also sat; Jordan Hancock was not among the seven inactives after his questionable designation.

    What changed: The extra running-back and receiver depth is now a game-day decision, rather than merely an elevation. The other inactives were Jalon Kilgore, Mike Danna, Armaj Reed-Adams and Jude Bowry.

    Fantasy impact: Johnson’s absence removed one passing-down and return option. Gore and Dortch being active establishes availability, not a reliable offensive workload. Use the eventual snap and touch totals before changing their fantasy roles.

    Miami DolphinsTolbert and Joly inactive; healthy report meets roster choicesTolbert / Joly · Inactive Bell / Douglas · Starting roles

    Sunday confirmation: Miami’s inactive list, published by the Raiders, includes receiver Jalen Tolbert and tight end Justin Joly. Brady Cook is the emergency third quarterback; Reese Taylor, DJ Campbell and Chukwuebuka Godrick also sit.

    Retained role context: Jeff Hafley’s Friday expectation that the roster would be available was an injury outlook, not a promise that everyone would dress. The team’s preview identifies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas as starting receivers. Hafley said the backup work behind De’Von Achane would depend on the play, down and distance, with both Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II needed.

    Fantasy impact: The inactive list narrows the receiver and tight-end options, but it does not settle targets. Avoid treating Wright or Gordon as the sole backup on the strength of a healthy injury report.

    New England PatriotsA.J. Brown’s IR absence remains the key changeA.J. Brown · IR Hollins / Williams · Opportunity

    Rechecked Saturday move: New England placed A.J. Brown on injured reserve and signed defensive tackle DaQuan Jones. The team’s analysis says Brown must miss at least four games, with Week 6 the earliest possible return. That is an eligibility date, not a recovery forecast.

    Role watch: The team’s analysis identifies Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams as outside-receiver alternatives, with possible additional involvement for Efton Chism III. Those are projected adjustments; no new Sunday practice or game designation settles the distribution.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Brown out of near-term lineups. Hollins and Williams are the clearest roles to monitor, but neither should inherit Brown’s entire target projection by default.

    Sources: Patriots Sign Veteran DT DaQuan Jones and Place WR A.J. Brown On IR   ·   Analysis: Patriots place WR A.J. Brown on injured reserve, sign DT DaQuan Jones

    New York JetsCooper leaves with ankle injury; Sanders handles kickingOmar Cooper Jr. · Ankle follow-up Nwangwu / Grupe · Inactive Sanders · Kicking role

    Sunday developments: The Jets’ recap reports that Omar Cooper Jr. left with an ankle injury and Minkah Fitzpatrick with a groin injury. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. also left with a calf issue but returned. No Week 2 ruling is supplied in that report.

    Game-day roles: Jason Sanders handled the kicking assignment after his elevation, while Blake Grupe and Kene Nwangwu were inactive. Breece Hall and Braelon Allen rotated in the backfield during the 23–10 win. Joseph Ossai, D’Angelo Ponds and Trevin Wallace were the other Jets inactives.

    Fantasy impact: Cooper’s next practice update matters more than a speculative absence length. Sanders’ assignment was confirmed on the field. Hall’s productive opener does not erase Allen’s involvement.

    Baltimore RavensFlowers and Lane ruled out during the winFlowers · Hamstring, left game Lane · Wrist, left game Week 2 outlook · Pending

    New injuries: Zay Flowers was ruled out in the second half with a hamstring injury after 150 receiving yards and a touchdown. Ja’Kobi Lane was also ruled out with a wrist injury. The team reports do not establish a return timetable.

    Who filled in: With Devontez Walker and Elijah Sarratt inactive, Baltimore finished with Rashod Bateman, LaJohntay Wester and elevated veteran Chris Moore as its available receivers. Moore made a 53-yard catch. Derrick Henry rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns in the 41–23 victory.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Bateman and Wester on the replacement-role watch list, with Moore deeper down it. Do not turn today’s exits into confirmed Week 2 absences or assume the next game’s active group will be identical.

    Cincinnati BengalsGesicki scores; Stewart and Endries inactiveStewart / Endries · Inactive Gesicki · Five catches, TD

    Sunday confirmation: Shemar Stewart’s doubtful knee designation became an inactive decision. Rookie tight end Jack Endries also sat, along with Ke’Shawn Williams, Josh Newton, Connor Lew, Myles Hinton and Landon Robinson.

    Opening-game result: Mike Gesicki caught five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown in the 33–27 win. Chase Brown carried 16 times for 56 yards and a score; Joe Burrow threw for 254 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

    Fantasy impact: Gesicki supplied useful receiving production with Endries unavailable, but one game does not establish a permanent target split. Brown’s scoring role held up. Revisit Stewart when the next injury report arrives.

    Cleveland BrownsDylan Sampson exits with a knee injuryDylan Sampson · Ruled out in game Return timetable · Unconfirmed

    New injury: Dylan Sampson hurt his knee early in the first quarter against Jacksonville. Cleveland initially called him questionable to return, then ruled him out for the rest of the game. He had two kickoff returns for 64 yards before the exit.

    Other developments: Raheim Sanders later produced a 74-yard kickoff return. Denzel Boston caught a late 46-yard touchdown in the 34–10 loss. Teven Jenkins and Parker Brailsford were inactive; Taylen Green was the emergency third quarterback.

    Fantasy impact: Sampson’s follow-up affects backfield depth and return work. Sanders’ long return is special-teams evidence, not proof of a larger rushing role. Avoid assigning an absence length before further reporting.

    Pittsburgh SteelersPorter sits; Freiermuth and the defense deliverJoey Porter Jr. · Inactive Freiermuth · Receiving TD

    Sunday confirmation: Joey Porter Jr. was inactive. Will Howard served as the third quarterback and Drew Allar was also inactive. The other scratches were Gennings Dunker, Kevin Jobity Jr. and Gabriel Rubio; Doneiko Slaughter had been elevated for defensive depth.

    Game evidence: Pat Freiermuth caught five passes for 46 yards and a touchdown. Michael Pittman Jr. had three catches for 58 yards, while Aaron Rodgers threw for 221 yards. T.J. Watt returned an interception for a touchdown in the 20–13 win.

    Fantasy impact: Freiermuth’s opening involvement is worth tracking, while Porter’s next report matters for the secondary. Pittsburgh’s defensive result came against Atlanta’s depleted quarterback room, so keep that opponent context attached.

    Sources: Steelers inactives for Week 1 vs. Falcons   ·   Steelers top Falcons, 20-13, in season opener

    Houston TexansBrevin Jordan inactive; Odum elevation confirmedBrevin Jordan · Inactive George Odum · Elevated

    Sunday confirmation: Houston listed tight end Brevin Jordan among its six inactives against Buffalo. Collin Wright, Aiden Fisher, Febechi Nwaiwu, Nate Thomas and Jaden Crumedy also sat.

    Retained roster context: Saturday’s standard elevation was safety George Odum. Trent Brown and Wade Woodaz finished the injury week as full participants without game designations. The inactive list is the new decision; the elevation alone does not establish Odum’s snap count.

    Fantasy impact: Jordan’s absence removes one tight-end option. Nothing in these availability reports by itself establishes a new receiver or running-back workload. Keep roster eligibility separate from actual usage.

    Indianapolis ColtsPierce plays; Giddens inactive as Taylor scores twiceAlec Pierce · Played DJ Giddens · Inactive Jonathan Taylor · Two TDs

    Sunday confirmation: Alec Pierce was active despite his ankle/heel recovery and led Indianapolis with four catches for 61 yards. The Colts’ recap described him as somewhat limited. DJ Giddens was inactive; Riley Leonard was the emergency quarterback.

    Game evidence: Jonathan Taylor rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns in the 41–23 loss. Daniel Jones threw for 166 yards, a touchdown to Tyler Warren and one interception. Austin Ajiake was ruled out Saturday, and Kenneth Harris was elevated.

    Fantasy impact: Pierce’s actual participation resolves the Week 1 availability question, not the possibility of ongoing restrictions. Taylor retained substantial scoring involvement. Check the next report before treating Pierce as fully unrestricted.

    Jacksonville JaguarsAllen active; Brian Thomas Jr. returns after shoulder issueLeQuint Allen Jr. · Active Brian Thomas Jr. · Returned Lawrence · Four passing TDs

    Sunday confirmation: LeQuint Allen Jr. was active after a questionable hip designation. Cole Van Lanen, Jakobi Meyers and Anton Harrison were also confirmed active. Quinn Ewers sat, with elevated Nick Mullens backing up Trevor Lawrence.

    New game notes: Brian Thomas Jr. left with a shoulder injury and returned. B.J. Green II hurt his elbow and did not return. Lawrence threw four touchdowns in the 34–10 win; Parker Washington caught five passes for 83 yards, and Bhayshul Tuten rushed for 66 yards on 15 carries.

    Fantasy impact: Thomas returning is the key distinction from a game-ending injury, although the next practice report still matters. Washington’s production and Tuten’s carries provide real role evidence. A four-touchdown afternoon is not a weekly baseline.

    Tennessee TitansSingleton inactive; Ayomanor scores lateNicholas Singleton · Inactive Cedric Gray · Out Elic Ayomanor · Receiving TD

    Sunday confirmation: Rookie running back Nicholas Singleton was inactive, alongside Jaylon Jones, Atonio Mafi, Jackie Marshall, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson and Owen Pappoe. Cedric Gray, already ruled out with a concussion, also sat.

    Game evidence: Cam Ward finished 19-of-32 for 140 yards and a touchdown in the 23–10 loss. His 11-yard touchdown to Elic Ayomanor came late in the fourth quarter. Tennessee gained 195 total yards.

    Fantasy impact: Singleton’s first-game absence does not establish a season-long pecking order. Ayomanor’s score is encouraging, but the limited passing output and late-game context keep a one-play result in perspective.

    Denver BroncosMims cleared; Cooper absence is separate from injuriesMarvin Mims Jr. · No designation Jonathon Cooper · Exempt list Monday inactives · Pending

    Final injury decision: Marvin Mims Jr. was a full participant throughout the week and received no game designation Saturday. Denver’s injury report says the players on its 53-man roster are expected to be available Monday.

    Separate roster absence: Kansas City’s Sunday preview notes that Jonathon Cooper is on the Commissioner’s Exempt List and unavailable. That absence is separate from the injury report. J.K. Dobbins is preparing to return to game action, but his comments do not specify a carry total.

    Fantasy impact: Mims’ foot no longer carries an injury designation. Dobbins’ workload still needs game evidence; do not turn readiness into a guaranteed share. Denver’s defensive outlook must account for Cooper being unavailable.

    Sources: Injury Report: WR Marvin Mims Jr. not assigned game status for Week 1 vs. Chiefs   ·   Broncos Notebook: In return to field, RB J.K. Dobbins eager to contribute 'whatever it takes to win the game' vs. Chiefs   ·   Five Things to Watch on Monday | Broncos vs. Chiefs

    Kansas City ChiefsMahomes, Rice and Worthy remain cleared for MondayMahomes / Rice / Worthy · No designation Simmons / Conner · Out Monday inactives · Pending

    Final report rechecked: Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy finished as full participants without game designations. Josh Simmons and Chamarri Conner are out. Chris Jones has no designation despite missing Saturday’s practice; Sunday’s team preview describes the absence as precautionary.

    Line and role context: The Chiefs’ preview says rookie Kahlil Benson will likely replace Simmons at left tackle. That is an expectation, while the two official out designations are settled. Monday’s inactive list has not been released at this cutoff.

    Fantasy impact: The three offensive injury designations are resolved, but normal performance and workload are not guaranteed. Simmons’ absence remains relevant to protection. Keep a Monday contingency until the final active list.

    Las Vegas RaidersBowers officially inactive against MiamiBrock Bowers · Inactive Ashton Jeanty · No designation

    Sunday confirmation: Brock Bowers is inactive, completing the game-day confirmation after Friday’s knee-related out designation. Aidan O’Connell is the emergency third quarterback. Darrell Luter Jr., Dalton Johnson, Cody Lindenberg, Bryce Cabeldue and JJ Pegues also sit.

    Retained injury context: Ashton Jeanty practiced fully all week despite appearing on the report with an ankle issue and had no game designation. Bowers’ absence creates tight-end opportunity, but the inactive announcement does not promise a particular target count for Michael Mayer.

    Fantasy impact: Bowers is unavailable for this game. Mayer’s opportunity is a reasonable role-based inference, with the eventual routes and targets needed to measure it. Jeanty’s injury report supplied no pregame restriction.

    Sources: Las Vegas Raiders Week 1 Inactives vs. Miami Dolphins   ·   Raiders-Dolphins Week 1 Injury Report: Brock Bowers ruled out

    Los Angeles ChargersTuipulotu active; Leonard and Penning sitTuli Tuipulotu · Active Deane Leonard · Inactive Mitchell / Thompson · Cleared Friday

    Sunday confirmation: Tuli Tuipulotu will play after being questionable with a hip injury. Deane Leonard, already out with an abdominal injury, is inactive alongside RJ Mickens, Logan Taylor, Alex Harkey and Trevor Penning.

    Retained offensive context: Keaton Mitchell and Brenen Thompson finished Friday with no game designation. Mickens demonstrates why an injury clearance is not the same as making the game-day roster.

    Fantasy impact: Tuipulotu’s availability restores a key pass-rush option. Mitchell and Thompson clearing the report does not establish offensive volume. Use actual snaps before elevating either in fantasy plans.

    Dallas CowboysAbanikanda roster move holds; night-game activity pendingMalik Davis · IR Israel Abanikanda · Signed Sunday-night inactives · Pending

    Retained Saturday move, rechecked: Cowboys On SI reports Israel Abanikanda was signed from the practice squad to replace Malik Davis on the active roster. Dallas’ own injury report says Davis’ hip injury required surgery and a season-ending IR move.

    Other context: T.J. Bass is preparing to replace injured left guard Tyler Smith. Ryan Flournoy and Brevyn Spann-Ford signed extensions Friday, through 2027 and 2029 respectively. None of those announcements establishes Abanikanda’s game-day active status or puts him ahead of Emari Demercado.

    Fantasy impact: Javonte Williams remains the lead-back plan. Abanikanda is depth to monitor; await the Sunday-night inactive list before using him as an emergency option. Contract news supports roster continuity, not an automatic target increase.

    New York GiantsNabers remains questionable; Cambre signed, Berrios elevatedMalik Nabers · Questionable Cambre · Signed / Berrios · Elevated

    Sunday recheck: The Giants’ current tracker and final injury report retain a questionable knee designation for Malik Nabers despite three full practices. Theo Johnson and Andrew Thomas carry no game designation. The Sunday-night inactive decision remains outstanding at this cutoff.

    Saturday additions: New York signed receiver Dalen Cambre from the practice squad and elevated Braxton Berrios and linebacker Malik Harrison. These moves add options without resolving Nabers’ status.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a playable Sunday-night or Monday replacement available if waiting on Nabers. Full practices improve the evidence but do not override the questionable label. Neither Cambre nor Berrios gains a predictable target share just by joining the game-day pool.

    Philadelphia EaglesDalton is Hurts’ backup; Stowers on IRStowers · IR / Greenard · Inactive Andy Dalton · Backup QB Elijah Moore · Inactive

    Sunday confirmation: Andy Dalton backs up Jalen Hurts. Tanner McKee is the third quarterback and Cole Payton is inactive. Jonathan Greenard, Elijah Moore and Micah Morris also sit.

    Retained Saturday move: Eli Stowers went on IR after quadriceps and hamstring issues, joining Grant Calcaterra there. Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins remain the active-roster tight ends. Britain Covey was Philadelphia’s sole practice-squad elevation.

    Fantasy impact: Stowers cannot be used as a Week 1 tight-end option. Goedert’s established role is the relevant starting point; the roster changes do not guarantee extra targets. Dalton’s backup assignment matters in deep quarterback contingency planning.

    Sources: Commanders vs. Eagles Inactives   ·   Eagles elevate WR Britain Covey, place TE Eli Stowers on Injured Reserve

    Washington CommandersMcCaffrey and Burks inactive; cleared players availableLuke McCaffrey / Burks · Inactive Croskey-Merritt · Cleared Friday

    Sunday confirmation: Luke McCaffrey and Treylon Burks are inactive against Philadelphia. Athan Kaliakmanis is the emergency quarterback; Ricky Barber and Tanoa Togiai also sit. Washington elevated interior lineman Julian Good-Jones.

    Retained injury decisions: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson were cleared Friday. Washington also said Ben Sinnott, Marcus Mariota and Daron Payne would be available. They are not on the announced inactive list.

    Fantasy impact: The receiver scratches narrow the available rotation, without proving who receives additional targets. Croskey-Merritt’s clearance resolves the pregame injury designation; the touch distribution must come from the game.

    Chicago BearsOdunze off the inactive list; Bears run for six scoresRome Odunze · Not inactive Bagent · Emergency QB / Trapilo · Inactive Swift / Monangai · Rushing scores

    Sunday resolution: Rome Odunze is absent from Chicago’s inactive list after being questionable with a calf injury. Tyson Bagent is the emergency third quarterback and elevated Miller Moss is inactive. Ozzy Trapilo, Xavier Woods, James Kromah, Jordan McFadden and Jayden Loving also sat.

    Game evidence: Carolina’s official recap records 291 Chicago rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in a 59–37 Bears win, including scores by D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Saturday’s Kaden Davis elevation was additional receiver depth; it did not mean Odunze had been ruled out.

    Fantasy impact: The inactive decision resolves the specific pregame worry, but it does not show Odunze’s route load or rule out a limitation. Both backs contributed to a huge team rushing day; avoid assigning its entire benefit to one player.

    Sources: Panthers: both teams’ official inactive lists   ·   Chicago Bears announce roster moves   ·   Injury Update: Rome Odunze among four players questionable for Sunday's season opener vs. Panthers   ·   Rapid Reactions: Panthers fall to Bears in an opening-week shootout

    Detroit LionsIzien inactive; Gibbs and St. Brown score twiceChristian Izien · Inactive Gibbs / St. Brown · Two TDs each

    Sunday confirmation: Christian Izien sat after a questionable groin designation. Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Jimmy Rolder, Mekhi Wingo and Ahmed Hassanein were the other inactives. Detroit elevated Ben Stille; rookies Skyler Gill-Howard and Eric O’Neill were available.

    Game evidence: The Saints’ official recap records Jahmyr Gibbs with 156 rushing yards on 29 carries and two touchdowns in Detroit’s 31–30 overtime win. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught two scoring passes, including the overtime touchdown.

    Fantasy impact: Gibbs’ volume is strong opening-game evidence, with overtime part of the context. Izien’s next status matters on the short turnaround to Buffalo. A full practice alone did not put every defender on the active list.

    Green Bay PackersBanks inactive; Bako-Bewele set to playAaron Banks · Inactive Zach Bako-Bewele · Active Bo Melton / Welch · Elevated

    Sunday resolution: Starting left guard Aaron Banks is inactive, while starting right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is set to play. Both had been questionable. Ty’Ron Hopper, Travis Glover, J. Michael Sturdivant, Warren Brinson and Anthony Campbell also sit.

    Saturday depth moves: Green Bay elevated receiver Bo Melton and linebacker Kristian Welch. The inactive list settles availability on the offensive line; it does not make the unit fully intact.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Banks’ absence attached to Green Bay’s protection and rushing outlook. Melton’s elevation supplies depth but does not create a dependable fantasy receiving workload.

    Minnesota VikingsMcCarthy is emergency QB; Claiborne inactiveMcCarthy · Emergency QB only Demond Claiborne · Inactive DeeJay Dallas / Van Noy · Elevated

    Sunday confirmation: J.J. McCarthy will dress as the third quarterback and may play only if Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz are injured. Demond Claiborne is inactive, along with Zemaiah Vaughn, Jakobe Thomas, Nick Samac, Caleb Tiernan and Elijah Williams.

    Saturday additions: Minnesota elevated running back/returner DeeJay Dallas and outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy. The team had no injury game designations Friday; today’s scratches are therefore a reminder that a clean report is not universal game-day activity.

    Fantasy impact: McCarthy is not a normal starting option under this designation. Dallas adds running-back and return depth with Claiborne out, but the elevation alone does not establish rushing volume.

    Atlanta FalconsLindstrom leaves with concussion; quarterback outlook openTua / Penix · Inactive Chris Lindstrom · Concussion exit Week 2 quarterbacks · Pending

    Sunday developments: Cooper Rush started with Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. inactive. Atlanta’s recap says their Week 2 availability is not yet known. Chris Lindstrom was ruled out with a concussion after leaving in the fourth quarter; Da’Shawn Hand was ruled out with a knee injury. A.J. Terrell also left for evaluation after landing hard.

    Roles and roster: Bijan Robinson produced 173 scrimmage yards on 29 touches in the 20–13 loss. Saturday’s moves placed Cameron Williams on IR and elevated Bralen Trice and Nick Muse.

    Fantasy impact: Robinson retained a major role despite the quarterback absences. Lindstrom’s next update matters to the entire offense. Do not carry Rush forward as the confirmed Week 2 starter until Atlanta settles its quarterbacks.

    Carolina PanthersSanders inactive; Coker and Brooks supply big playsJa’Tavion Sanders / Metchie · Inactive Jalen Coker · Two receiving TDs Damien Lewis · Returned

    Sunday confirmation: Ja’Tavion Sanders and John Metchie III were inactive. Carolina kept Darren Waller, Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Feleipe Franks available at tight end. Jeremiah Moon and Isaiah Simmons were elevated for defensive and special-teams depth.

    Game evidence: Jalen Coker caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Jonathon Brooks had a 48-yard reception and Chuba Hubbard scored twice in the 59–37 loss. Damien Lewis left briefly but returned; Derrick Brown and Bobby Brown III also returned after medical-tent visits.

    Fantasy impact: Sanders’ scratch changes the tight-end conversation more than the earlier healthy-roster expectation did. Brooks made an explosive receiving play alongside Hubbard; that does not settle the backfield split. Coker’s actual production deserves attention.

    New Orleans SaintsKamara inactive; Etienne catches seven passesAlvin Kamara · Inactive Audric Estimé · IR Etienne / Miller · Backfield work

    Sunday resolution: Alvin Kamara was inactive against Detroit. Oscar Delp and Cameron Jordan also sat; Zach Wilson was the emergency quarterback. Saturday’s moves placed Audric Estimé on IR, signed tight end Treyton Welch and elevated Kevin Austin Jr. and CJ Donaldson.

    Game evidence: Travis Etienne had 46 rushing yards and seven catches for 32 yards. Kendre Miller rushed nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown. Chris Olave caught 10 passes for 182 yards as New Orleans lost 31–30 in overtime.

    Fantasy impact: Kamara’s unresolved Saturday status became a confirmed absence. Etienne’s receiving work and Miller’s scoring involvement are useful next-week context, while Donaldson’s elevation alone should not be treated as a major rushing role.

    Sunday resolution: Jalen McMillan, Sean Tucker and Justin Skule were inactive after doubtful designations. Tampa Bay also sat DeMonte Capehart, Ayden Garnes, Billy Schrauth and Elijah Simmons. Saturday’s elevations of Josh Williams and Ifeatu Melifonwu supplied running-back and safety depth.

    Game evidence: Bucky Irving carried eight times for 45 yards and a touchdown; Emeka Egbuka caught five passes for 63 yards. Tampa Bay lost 33–27 after four lost fumbles, including three by Baker Mayfield and one by Irving.

    Fantasy impact: Tucker’s absence made the Williams elevation relevant depth, not a promise of carries. Keep game flow and turnovers attached to Irving’s low carry count. McMillan needs a fresh report before next week’s receiving plan is set.

    Arizona CardinalsJeremiyah Love active for his NFL debutJeremiyah Love · Active Garrett Williams / Adams · Inactive

    Sunday resolution: Jeremiyah Love is active against the Chargers after the ankle injury that interrupted his preseason. The Cardinals explicitly confirmed his debut. Andrew Billings is a healthy inactive with five other defensive linemen available.

    Other absences: Garrett Williams, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Isaiah Adams are inactive with their listed injuries. Reggie Virgil also sits; Carson Beck is the emergency third quarterback. Love’s earlier return-to-practice optimism is now an active decision, but no touch total was announced.

    Fantasy impact: Love’s availability question is resolved for this game. Tyler Allgeier remains part of the backfield picture. Judge Love’s return by actual snaps and touches before assuming a full workload.

    Los Angeles RamsNo new Sunday injury ruling found after AustraliaRechecked · No new verified ruling Week 2 injury follow-up · Pending

    Recheck: The official news and transaction pages supplied no new Sunday medical ruling that resolves the postgame injury questions carried in our Saturday edition. Keep that earlier context dated; it is not a final Week 2 designation.

    Retained game evidence: Matthew Stafford threw for 155 yards and an interception in the 27–7 loss to San Francisco. Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels and Max Klare were inactive; Stetson Bennett IV backed up Stafford, with Ty Simpson the emergency quarterback. The latest listed transaction remains Tanner Ingle’s September 10 elevation.

    Fantasy impact: Do not convert an old inactive list into next week’s exclusions or invent replacement snaps without follow-up. The opening loss is useful performance context, while the next official injury report must settle availability.

    San Francisco 49ersStribling and Tonges still await a verified follow-upStribling / Tonges · Follow-up pending Kaelon Black · Opening-game role

    Retained injury context, rechecked: ESPN’s postgame report says De’Zhaun Stribling’s Achilles was intact but the severity of his ankle injury required more testing. Jake Tonges left with a knee injury; Kyle Shanahan said more information was needed. No newer definitive result was found in Sunday’s official news/transaction check.

    Retained role evidence: Kaelon Black carried 14 times for 65 yards alongside Christian McCaffrey’s 10 carries for 68. Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson caught touchdown passes. Alfred Collins’ IR move and the KhaDarel Hodge/Ogbo Okoronkwo elevations remain September 10 transactions.

    Fantasy impact: Black’s opening involvement merits a bench or waiver watch. Keep McCaffrey in the established plan. Do not declare a season-ending injury or a permanent replacement role for Stribling or Tonges without the missing findings.

    Seattle SeahawksDarnold’s hip timetable remains unresolvedSam Darnold · Week 2 unresolved Drew Lock · Contingency

    Rechecked official outlook: Mike Macdonald said tests showed Sam Darnold’s hip was not fractured and described a muscle issue. The team expected a clearer plan Monday. Macdonald’s initial thought that Drew Lock would play next was explicitly his expectation, not a confirmed Week 2 ruling.

    Retained role context: Lock threw for 187 yards and a touchdown in relief. Jadarian Price rushed 10 times for 52 yards, George Holani eight times for 29 and Emanuel Wilson twice for three. No new Sunday return timetable was found; the latest listed transactions remain the September 10 practice-squad reversions.

    Fantasy impact: Superflex managers should retain a quarterback alternative while Darnold’s availability develops. Price’s promising opener still included other backs. The next medical update, not the extra rest alone, must settle Darnold’s status.

    Reporting cutoff: September 13, 2026, 2:55 p.m. MDT / 4:55 p.m. ET. This afternoon edition updates the dated Saturday all-team review. Early-game information below includes completed-game reporting; afternoon active lists describe pre-kickoff decisions, not a live injury feed. Sunday-night and Monday decisions remain pending where identified. Retained context is labeled, and a fresh check does not mean every team has a new development or every player is healthy.

    Status key

    Cleared / Active / Returned Out / IR / Inactive / Game exit Questionable / Follow-up pending Roster / Role / Game evidence No new verified ruling

    Read the exact wording. No designation describes the injury report; active requires game-day confirmation. A signing or elevation is not a guaranteed workload. A player ruled out during today’s game is not automatically out next week. Emergency third quarterbacks have restricted eligibility. Labels describe named players, not the whole team.

    What changed

    • New game injuries: Flowers (hamstring), Lane (wrist) and Sampson (knee) were ruled out during their games. Atlanta’s Chris Lindstrom left with a concussion. Their next-game outlooks require follow-up.
    • Key inactive decisions: Kamara, Bowers, Ty Johnson, Ja’Tavion Sanders, Jalen McMillan and Sean Tucker were unavailable. Their earlier uncertain or injury-report statuses now have game-day answers.
    • Availability resolved: Love and Alec Pierce were confirmed active; LeQuint Allen Jr. and Tuli Tuipulotu also made the active group. Rome Odunze was not on Chicago’s inactive list. Brian Thomas Jr. returned after a shoulder injury.
    • Still ahead: Malik Nabers remains questionable for Sunday night. Mahomes, Rice, Worthy and Mims have no injury designations for Monday, but Monday’s inactive list is still to come.

Today’s inactive and emergency-quarterback designations apply to today’s games. This is a dated reporting snapshot; later developments require a new check.

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: Saturday IR Moves and All 32 Team Updates

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Reporting cutoff: September 12, 2026, 2:15 p.m. MDT. This edition updates the morning all-team review. Older context and unchanged statuses are identified below. “No new verified change” means the team was checked; it does not mean every player is healthy.

    Team updates

    Buffalo BillsDortch and Gore elevated; Johnson still questionableDortch + Gore · Elevated Ty Johnson · Questionable

    Saturday roster moves: Buffalo elevated wide receiver Greg Dortch and running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad for Sunday at Houston. Dortch also has return experience; Gore adds running-back depth.

    Still unresolved: Ty Johnson (hamstring), Jordan Hancock (quad) and T.J. Sanders (knee) remain questionable. The elevations do not establish a new injury ruling or confirm either elevated player will be active.

    Fantasy impact: Gore is a depth watch while Johnson’s availability remains unsettled. Dortch matters most to leagues that score return work, but his assignment and offensive usage are unconfirmed. Keep the Sunday inactive check attached to Johnson; do not infer a new touch split for James Cook or Ray Davis.

    Sources: Bills Saturday elevations, Sept. 12   ·   Bills injury report, rechecked Saturday

    Miami DolphinsFerrell elevated; Friday injury clearances holdClelin Ferrell · Elevated Four injury listings · Cleared

    Saturday roster move: Miami elevated edge rusher Clelin Ferrell from the practice squad for Sunday at Las Vegas. The team has not announced his snap allocation.

    Unchanged injury picture: Ronnie Harrison Jr. (hamstring), Will Kacmarek (calf), Seydou Traore (thumb/Achilles) and Dante Trader Jr. (hamstring) remain without game designations after full Friday practices. Chris Bell’s starting assignment and the situational Jaylen Wright/Ollie Gordon II backup plan remain the existing offensive context.

    Fantasy impact: Ferrell adds pass-rush depth, a small D/ST and deep-IDP note. His elevation alone does not establish a starting role. Miami’s main offensive decisions are unchanged from the morning review.

    Sources: Dolphins Ferrell announcement, Sept. 12   ·   Dolphins injury table, rechecked Saturday

    New England PatriotsBrown’s IR move official; DaQuan Jones signedA.J. Brown · IR DaQuan Jones · Signed

    Now official: New England placed A.J. Brown on injured reserve and signed defensive tackle DaQuan Jones on Saturday. Both moves were reported, rather than team-confirmed, in the morning Pulse.

    Return eligibility: The team confirms Brown must miss the Steelers, Jaguars, Bills and Raiders games. Week 6 against the Jets on Oct. 18 is his earliest eligible return, not a guaranteed recovery date.

    Role watch: Saturday team-site analysis points to Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams for outside-receiver work, with Efton Chism III a deeper activation and slot/blocking/return watch. These are projections, not announced snap or target allocations.

    Fantasy impact: Move Brown to an eligible fantasy IR slot. Prioritize monitoring Hollins and Williams for the vacated outside work while keeping the target hierarchy open. Jones bolsters interior defensive depth. TreVeyon Henderson’s Week 2 availability remains unresolved.

    Sources: Patriots official transactions, Sept. 12   ·   Patriots eligibility and role analysis, Sept. 12

    New York JetsPatrick goes on IR; Sanders elevation completedTim Patrick · IR Jason Sanders · Elevated

    Saturday transactions: The Jets placed Tim Patrick (groin) on reserve/injured and elevated Jason Sanders from the practice squad. Patrick’s status changes from a Week 1 absence to IR; Sanders now has the transaction needed for his previously announced Week 1 kicking assignment.

    Unchanged: Joseph Ossai (foot) remains out. Kene Nwangwu (back) and D’Angelo Ponds (calf) remain doubtful. Breece Hall (groin), Isaiah Davis (knee) and Kenyon Sadiq (groin) remain without game designations.

    Fantasy impact: Sanders remains the Jets kicker to consider for Week 1. Patrick is unavailable, thinning receiver depth beyond the opener without establishing a new target split. Hall’s injury clearance remains in place; the doubtful players still need the final inactive check.

    Sources: Jets Patrick IR and Sanders elevation, Sept. 12   ·   Jets final injury report, rechecked Saturday

    Baltimore RavensMoore and Jones elevated; two more squad movesMoore + Jones · Elevated Devontez Walker · Questionable

    Saturday elevations: Baltimore elevated wide receiver Chris Moore and linebacker Carl Jones Jr. from the practice squad for Sunday at Indianapolis.

    Smaller moves: The Ravens also signed linebacker Jamon Johnson to the practice squad and released cornerback Lardarius Webb Jr.

    Unchanged injury rulings: Devontez Walker (groin) remains questionable. Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Teddye Buchanan (knee) remain out. Zay Flowers has no game designation.

    Fantasy impact: Moore supplies receiving and special-teams depth while Walker’s availability remains unsettled; Jones adds linebacker and special-teams depth with Buchanan out. These moves do not confirm a new starter, snap share or Walker downgrade. Keep Flowers in normal plans and Madubuike/Buchanan out of IDP lineups.

    Sources: Ravens four Saturday roster moves   ·   Ravens injury report, rechecked Saturday

    Cincinnati BengalsHudson and Giles-Harris elevated for the openerHudson + Giles-Harris · Elevated Shemar Stewart · Doubtful

    Saturday roster moves: Cincinnati elevated tight end Tanner Hudson and linebacker Joe Giles-Harris for Sunday against Tampa Bay. Both are standard practice-squad elevations and automatically revert Monday.

    Unchanged injury rulings: Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and DJ Turner II remain without game designations. Shemar Stewart (knee) remains doubtful; no new Saturday ruling was published in the checked injury report.

    Fantasy impact: Hudson adds a tight-end option to monitor in deep leagues, with routes and targets unannounced. Giles-Harris adds linebacker depth. The elevations do not change the normal starting case for Chase and Higgins or establish either elevated player as game-day active.

    Sources: Bengals Saturday elevations   ·   Bengals final injury report, rechecked Saturday

    Cleveland BrownsWatson and Ross elevated; line decisions unchangedNathaniel Watson + Ross · Elevated Parker Brailsford · Questionable

    Saturday roster moves: Cleveland elevated linebacker Nathaniel Watson and cornerback D’Angelo Ross from the practice squad for the Jacksonville opener.

    Unchanged: Teven Jenkins (back) remains out, with rookie Austin Barber set to start at right guard. Parker Brailsford (thumb) remains questionable. No new decision on a Taylen Green game-day package was verified in this sweep.

    Fantasy impact: The elevations add defensive and special-teams depth without establishing new starters or snap totals. Cleveland’s offensive lineup advice is unchanged. Keep Brailsford’s availability and the rookie right-guard start in the protection and rushing-efficiency watch.

    Sources: Browns Saturday elevations   ·   Browns injury and guard decision, rechecked Saturday

    Pittsburgh SteelersSlaughter elevated; Porter still questionableDoneiko Slaughter · Elevated Joey Porter Jr. · Questionable

    Saturday roster move: Pittsburgh elevated defensive back Doneiko Slaughter from the practice squad for Sunday against Atlanta. He will revert after the game.

    Unchanged injury picture: Joey Porter Jr. (back) remains questionable. DeShon Elliott remains on IR, and Pittsburgh’s final report still has no offensive game designation.

    Small role note: Saturday team-site reporting says rookie Germie Bernard has been learning every receiver position. That is development context, not a confirmed workload. The same commentary assumes Dylan Cook starts at right tackle; it does not announce the decision.

    Fantasy impact: Slaughter adds secondary depth but his elevation does not rule Porter out. Keep the Sunday inactive check for Porter and treat Bernard as a role watch. Warren/Dowdle’s split and the right-tackle decision still need game evidence or a clear team announcement.

    Sources: Steelers Slaughter elevation, Sept. 12   ·   Steelers final injury report, rechecked Saturday   ·   Steelers Saturday role notebook

    Houston TexansOdum elevated; a special-teams detail to watchOdum · Elevated McDonald · IR

    New roster move: Houston announced a standard practice-squad elevation for safety George Odum on Saturday. He adds defensive and special-teams depth.

    Smaller note: The team’s Saturday preview highlights punter Kai Kroeger’s Houston regular-season debut. That is relevant in leagues using punters and to field-position context, without changing the skill-position lineup.

    Still current: Kayden McDonald is on IR. Trent Brown and Wade Woodaz remain without game designations; no new injury restriction was verified.

    Fantasy impact: Odum’s elevation does not establish a starting safety job. Keep McDonald out of IDP lineups. The Montgomery/Marks backfield split remains a usage watch, with no newly announced carry allocation.

    Sources: Texans Saturday transaction   ·   Texans Saturday special-teams preview   ·   Texans final injury report   ·   Texans roster announcement, Sept. 11

    Indianapolis ColtsKenneth Harris elevated; Pierce still clearedHarris · Elevated Pierce · Cleared Ajiake · Questionable

    New roster move: Indianapolis elevated cornerback Kenneth Harris from the practice squad for Sunday against Baltimore.

    Still current: Alec Pierce has no game designation after a week of limited practices. Austin Ajiake remains questionable with a hamstring injury. The elevation is not an announcement that another Colts cornerback is out.

    Fantasy impact: Pierce remains available for lineup consideration. Harris is a depth addition, with no verified starter or full-snap assignment. Continue to check Ajiake’s availability in very deep IDP formats.

    Sources: Colts Saturday elevation   ·   Colts final injury report

    Jacksonville JaguarsNick Mullens elevated for the openerMullens · Elevated LeQuint Allen · Questionable Meyers · Cleared

    New roster move: Jacksonville elevated quarterback Nick Mullens from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against Cleveland. The announcement does not change Trevor Lawrence’s starting assignment.

    Still current: LeQuint Allen Jr. remains questionable with a hip injury. Jakobi Meyers has no game designation. Cole Van Lanen’s potential starting role remains separate from his injury-report clearance.

    Fantasy impact: Mullens adds quarterback depth and is not a new fantasy starter. Do not infer a new Tuten/Rodriguez carry split from this move; Allen’s game-day availability still needs checking.

    Sources: Jaguars Saturday elevation   ·   Jaguars final injury and lineup report

    Tennessee TitansDiabate and Hallett elevated with Gray outDiabate / Hallett · Elevated Cedric Gray · Out

    New roster moves: NBC Sports and Titans Wire report that Tennessee elevated linebacker Mohamoud Diabate and safety Erick Hallett for Week 1. These add depth with Cedric Gray already ruled out with a concussion.

    Still current: Keldric Faulk has no game designation. Diabate’s elevation does not establish that he, Anthony Hill Jr. or James Williams Sr. will inherit all of Gray’s snaps.

    Fantasy impact: Replace Gray in IDP lineups. Diabate and Hallett remain speculative depth options until their roles are clearer; neither elevation changes Tennessee’s offensive starters.

    Sources: NBC Sports: Diabate and Hallett elevations   ·   Titans Wire: Saturday elevations   ·   Titans final injury report

    Denver BroncosMims clearance reported; team’s final posting still awaitedMims · Final team report pending

    New reporting: A to Z Sports reports that Marvin Mims Jr. practiced fully Saturday and has no game designation for Monday. At our check, Denver’s official report still displayed Thursday/Friday full participation without its Saturday entry, so the final team posting remains a verification checkpoint.

    Still current: No new Denver roster move or confirmed change to the Dobbins/Harvey/Coleman workload was found in the team’s latest announcements.

    Fantasy impact: The report is positive for Mims, but use Monday’s official inactives for game-day confirmation. The backfield remains a workload decision, with no guaranteed touch count from Saturday reporting.

    Sources: A to Z Sports: Saturday Broncos/Chiefs report   ·   Broncos official injury table   ·   Broncos transactions

    Kansas City ChiefsMahomes, Rice and Worthy cleared; Simmons and Conner outMahomes / Rice / Worthy · Cleared Simmons / Conner · Out

    Final game rulings: Josh Simmons (back) and Chamarri Conner (knee) are out for Monday. Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy have no game designation after full Saturday practices.

    Smaller changes: Chris Jones (calf) missed Saturday practice but has no game designation. Andy Reid described the rest as precautionary, according to Saturday reporting. L’Jarius Sneed was limited Saturday and is also without a game designation. Trey Smith, Jack Cochrane, Ashton Gillotte and R Mason Thomas finished full and cleared.

    Fantasy impact: Mahomes, Rice and Worthy stay in normal lineup consideration. Simmons’s absence matters to pass protection; Conner’s absence changes defensive depth. Jones’s missed practice does not mean he has been ruled out.

    Sources: Chiefs official Saturday final report   ·   Arrowhead Pride: Reid’s Jones explanation

    Las Vegas RaidersMayer signs extension ahead of his TE1 opportunityMayer · Extension Bowers · Out Jeanty · Cleared

    New contract: Las Vegas announced a multiyear extension for Michael Mayer on Saturday. The team’s accompanying feature identifies Mayer as the lead tight end for the opener with Brock Bowers out.

    Still current: Bowers remains out with a knee injury; Ashton Jeanty has no game designation. The extension does not establish a guaranteed target total or a return date for Bowers.

    Fantasy impact: Mayer remains a streaming option for managers replacing Bowers and a longer-term dynasty watch. Jeanty stays in normal starting plans. Treat the contract and the temporary Week 1 receiving opportunity as separate pieces of information.

    Sources: Raiders official extension   ·   Raiders Saturday Mayer role feature   ·   Raiders final injury report, Sept. 11

    Los Angeles ChargersNo new verified change; Tuipulotu decision still pendingChecked · No new verified change Tuipulotu · Questionable Leonard · Out

    Afternoon check: The official news and transaction pages, final injury report and targeted Saturday reporting did not provide a new confirmed roster or injury change.

    Still current: Tuli Tuipulotu (hip) is questionable and Deane Leonard (abdomen) is out. Keaton Mitchell has no game designation. A possible cornerback elevation remains a projection until announced.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Tuipulotu’s IDP and Chargers D/ST plans conditional on availability. Mitchell’s clearance does not establish his touch share. Recheck any later roster announcement and Sunday’s inactives.

    Sources: Chargers final injury report, Sept. 11   ·   Chargers official transactions   ·   Chargers official news

    Dallas CowboysAbanikanda joins the roster as Davis goes on IRMalik Davis · IR Abanikanda · Roster addition

    Saturday roster move: Dallas signed Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to replace Malik Davis on injured reserve, according to Cowboys On SI, which links the team’s announcement. This completes the roster addition that was only a possibility in our morning edition.

    Backfield impact: Abanikanda joins Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado. Williams remains the lead back. The signing does not confirm Abanikanda’s game-day active status, his place ahead of Demercado, or a set workload.

    Injury wording updated: The Cowboys revised their report to say Davis’s hip injury requires surgery Saturday. Their earlier version said Friday evening. Tyler Smith remains on IR, with T.J. Bass replacing him; the other final-report clearances are unchanged.

    Fantasy impact: Williams remains the first Dallas back to start. Watch Abanikanda as added depth, with Demercado still in the backup conversation. Davis is unavailable; no game-day decision remains for him.

    Sources: Cowboys On SI: Abanikanda signing, Sept. 12   ·   Cowboys: revised Davis injury report   ·   Cowboys final injury table

    New York GiantsCambre adds receiver depth; Nabers remains questionableNabers · Questionable Cambre · Reported signing

    Reported Saturday addition: New York is signing receiver and special-teams contributor Dalen Cambre from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. SNY reports the move, and Big Blue View independently confirmed it with a source after Art Stapleton’s initial report.

    Nabers watch: Malik Nabers remains questionable with a knee injury despite three full practices. Adding another receiver does not rule him out. Theo Johnson, Andrew Thomas, Shelby Harris, Bryan Hudson and Patrick Ricard still have no game designation.

    Still pending: Reports also expect a Braxton Berrios elevation, but the official team transaction log has not yet confirmed Saturday’s elevations. Keep an expected move separate from a completed one.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a playable Sunday-night or Monday fallback for Nabers. Cambre’s addition supplies depth and special-teams coverage; it does not make him a dependable fantasy substitute or establish Nabers’s availability.

    Sources: SNY: Cambre signing, Sept. 12   ·   Big Blue View: independent Cambre confirmation   ·   Giants official injury report   ·   Giants official transaction log

    Philadelphia EaglesStowers goes on IR; Covey elevated for the openerStowers · Out / IR Greenard · Out Covey · Elevated

    Availability changed: Philadelphia downgraded Eli Stowers from questionable to out with quadriceps and hamstring injuries Saturday, then placed him on injured reserve. The quadriceps issue is additional to Friday’s hamstring listing.

    Tight-end depth: Stowers joins Grant Calcaterra on IR. The Eagles list Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins as their three remaining tight ends on the active roster. Jonathan Greenard remains out with a pectoral injury.

    Return-game addition: Britain Covey was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against Washington. He supplies receiver and punt-return experience, making the return workload worth checking even with Makai Lemon atop the earlier unofficial punt-return chart.

    Fantasy impact: Remove Stowers from Week 1 streaming decisions. Goedert remains the main Eagles tight end to assess; missing players do not guarantee him extra targets. Covey’s elevation is useful in return leagues but does not confirm his exact role.

    Washington CommandersFriday’s clearances hold after the afternoon recheckCroskey-Merritt · Cleared Oweh / Chaisson · Cleared Rechecked · No new change

    Afternoon recheck: No new verified injury, roster or role change surfaced in the official news, injury and transaction checks. The latest official transaction entry remains Sept. 7.

    Availability still holds: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson and Daron Payne have no game designation. Nick Allegretti, Javon Kinlaw, Jordan Magee, Marcus Mariota, Charles Omenihu and Ben Sinnott remain cleared as well.

    Backfield context: Croskey-Merritt’s position atop the earlier depth chart and Rachaad White’s presence behind him are unchanged. Clearance removes an injury obstacle; it does not settle how Washington divides the touches.

    Fantasy impact: There is no newly verified health reason to revise the morning Washington advice. Keep the distinction between being cleared on the injury report and appearing on Sunday’s final active list.

    Chicago BearsSwift extended; Moss and Kaden Davis elevatedSwift · Extension Moss / Davis · Elevated Odunze / Bagent · Questionable

    Contract: Chicago signed D’Andre Swift to a three-year extension through 2029 on Saturday. The commitment matters for dynasty context, but it does not set the Week 1 touch split with Kyle Monangai.

    Four roster actions: The Bears signed quarterback Miller Moss to the practice squad, elevated Moss and receiver Kaden Davis for Carolina, and released defensive back Keidron Smith from the practice squad. The elevations revert after the game.

    Status unchanged: Rome Odunze, Tyson Bagent, Ozzy Trapilo and Xavier Woods remain questionable. Extra quarterback and receiver depth does not itself rule anyone out. If Bagent sits, veteran Case Keenum remains the backup alternative behind Caleb Williams.

    Fantasy impact: Keep the inactive check attached to Odunze. Kaden Davis is additional depth rather than an automatic fantasy start. Swift’s extension supports his longer-term roster security without guaranteeing a larger immediate workload.

    Sources: Bears: Swift extension, Sept. 12   ·   Bears: Saturday roster moves   ·   Bears final injury report

    Detroit LionsOnwuzurike returns to the practice squad; Izien still questionableOnwuzurike · Practice squad Izien · Questionable

    Saturday roster move: Detroit re-signed defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike to the practice squad, according to the team’s transaction log. His return follows Friday’s release, which was covered in our morning edition. A practice-squad signing does not establish a game-day elevation or active status.

    Availability unchanged: Christian Izien remains questionable with a groin injury. Derrick Moore and Mekhi Wingo finished Friday full, and Keith Abney II, Thomas Harper, Trevor Nowaske, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. and Jimmy Rolder have no game designation.

    Existing roles and absences: Tom Kennedy’s roster promotion and confirmed punt-return job remain relevant. Isiah Pacheco’s IR placement and the reserve/PUP absences of Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are existing context.

    Fantasy impact: Onwuzurike is back in the organization as defensive-line depth, with no confirmed game-day role. Keep Kennedy on the radar in return-scoring leagues and recheck Izien. Detroit’s existing safety absences still matter for D/ST evaluation.

    Green Bay PackersMelton and Welch elevated; Kraft signs extensionMelton / Welch · Elevated Kraft · Extension Banks / Bako-Bewele / Hopper · Questionable

    Elevations confirmed: Green Bay elevated receiver Bo Melton and linebacker Kristian Welch from the practice squad Saturday. Melton’s possible game-day elevation from our morning report is now a completed roster move.

    Contract: The Packers also announced a Tucker Kraft extension. Their announcement does not disclose terms. This is a longer-term commitment, not a newly stated Week 1 workload.

    Injury decisions remain: Aaron Banks, Zach Bako-Bewele and Ty’Ron Hopper are still questionable; Warren Brinson is out. Welch’s elevation does not itself establish that Hopper will sit. Jordan Morgan, Javon Hargrave, Barryn Sorrell and Devonte Wyatt remain cleared.

    Fantasy impact: Melton adds receiver and special-teams depth, with his actual snaps still unsettled. Josh Jacobs remains unavailable on the exempt list; MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson’s touch split is still unresolved. Kraft’s extension alone does not change his start decision.

    Sources: Packers: Saturday elevations   ·   Packers: Kraft extension   ·   Packers final injury report

    Minnesota VikingsNo new designation or roster change verifiedInjury report · No game designations Rechecked · No new change

    Afternoon recheck: No new verified injury, roster or role change surfaced in Minnesota’s official news, final injury report and transaction log. The latest official roster entry remains the Sept. 9 Jihad Ward signing.

    Availability unchanged: No player on the 53-man roster received an injury game designation. Jakobe Thomas, Jacob Thomas and Caleb Tiernan finished Friday full; Christian Darrisaw and Harrison Smith’s Friday listings involved veteran rest.

    Roles still need game evidence: Kyler Murray remains the starting quarterback. Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason’s co-starter listing leaves the touch split open, with Demond Claiborne behind them. The cleared roster does not guarantee equal or high volume for both leading backs.

    Fantasy impact: There is no newly verified health-based reason to revise Minnesota’s morning lineup advice. Check the game-day list, then use actual usage to assess how the backfield and returning veteran personnel are deployed.

    Atlanta FalconsRush has back spasms but remains the starter; Williams goes on IRRush · New back issue C. Williams · IR Trice / Muse · Elevated

    New quarterback concern: The Falcons disclosed Saturday that Cooper Rush experienced back spasms earlier in the day but will still start against Pittsburgh. This is a new health concern, not an announced quarterback change. Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. remain out, with Jack Strand the previously announced backup.

    Roster moves: Atlanta placed tackle Cameron Williams on injured reserve and elevated outside linebacker Bralen Trice and tight end Nick Muse from the practice squad. Williams was already out for Week 1; the IR move extends that absence beyond the immediate game.

    Still unresolved: Za’Darius Smith remains questionable. No new game-status designation for Rush was announced in the Saturday update.

    Fantasy impact: Rush remains an emergency superflex option with an added health risk. Keep a contingency available. Muse adds depth without a promised receiving role; Trice is an IDP depth watch. The new information does not establish a larger workload for either player.

    Carolina PanthersMoon and Simmons elevated; Brooks remains clearedMoon / Simmons · Elevated Brooks · No game designation P. Jones II · Out

    New elevations: Carolina brought up outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon and safety Isaiah Simmons for Sunday. Moon adds to the edge rotation with Patrick Jones II out; Simmons provides defensive and special-teams depth. The moves do not establish a fixed snap share.

    Injury status unchanged: Jonathon Brooks has no game designation and was cleared without limitations. His workload split with Chuba Hubbard still needs a game check.

    Additional role context: The team’s Saturday preview identifies Devin Lloyd and Bobby Okereke as the starting linebackers, with Lloyd wearing the green dot. It also describes growing first-team practice work for Darren Waller, while cautioning that his ramp-up may limit his snaps. These are existing roles highlighted during this sweep, not new Saturday promotions.

    Fantasy impact: Moon is a deep IDP watch; Simmons’ clearest value is on special teams. Lloyd’s signal-calling role supports his IDP relevance. Waller is a touchdown-dependent tight-end option with an uncertain snap share, while Brooks’ clearance does not guarantee lead-back volume.

    New Orleans SaintsEstimé goes on IR; Donaldson and Austin elevated; Kamara still questionableEstimé · IR Kamara · Questionable Donaldson / Austin · Elevated

    New reserve move: New Orleans placed Audric Estimé on injured reserve and signed tight end Treyton Welch to the active roster. Estimé was previously listed out for the opener; the IR move changes the longer-term backfield picture.

    Gameday depth: Running back CJ Donaldson and receiver Kevin Austin Jr. were elevated from the practice squad for Detroit. Welch supplies tight-end depth with Oscar Delp already ruled out.

    Kamara decision still pending: Alvin Kamara remains questionable after a full Friday practice. Donaldson’s elevation does not, by itself, rule Kamara out. Cameron Jordan and Delp remain out.

    Fantasy impact: Estimé is unavailable, and Kamara still needs a Sunday inactive check. Travis Etienne remains the established fantasy option in this backfield; Donaldson is a depth addition without confirmed touches. Welch and Austin have no promised route or target share from these moves.

    Tampa Bay BuccaneersJosh Williams elevation confirmed; Melifonwu adds safety depthWilliams / Melifonwu · Elevated Tucker / McMillan / Skule · Doubtful Egbuka · No game designation

    New confirmation: The Buccaneers elevated running back Josh Williams and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu. Williams’ promotion was only a possibility in Friday’s notebook; it is now official. He adds a running-back and kickoff-return option, while Melifonwu supplies depth behind the three safeties on the 53-man roster.

    Status unchanged: Sean Tucker, Jalen McMillan and Justin Skule remain doubtful. Christian Rozeboom remains questionable. Emeka Egbuka has no game designation and was described as full-go Friday.

    Final active list still matters: The elevations make Williams and Melifonwu eligible for the game. They do not automatically guarantee a place among the players active at kickoff.

    Fantasy impact: Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell remain the established backfield options. Williams is added depth, without an announced offensive workload. Keep alternatives for McMillan and Tucker; their doubtful labels have not become official out rulings in this update.

    Sources: Buccaneers elevations, Sept. 12   ·   Buccaneers final injury report, Sept. 11

    Arizona CardinalsKing elevated; Love gets a positive roster signal but remains questionableLove · Questionable Kalen King · Elevated Gibbens · First on depth chart

    New roster signal: Arizona elevated cornerback Kalen King but did not elevate running back Evan Hull. The team’s reporter views the lack of an extra back as a positive indication for Jeremiyah Love. His official status remains questionable; this is not final game clearance.

    Smaller depth details: With Isaiah Adams out, Jon Gaines II starts at right guard and Hayden Conner is identified as the top reserve. No veteran offensive lineman was elevated. Garrett Williams and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson remain out.

    Role update highlighted Saturday: The team’s notebook identifies Jack Gibbens ahead of Cody Simon on the Week 1 depth chart alongside Mack Wilson Sr. This adds detail missing from the morning Pulse, without establishing an every-down role.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Love’s later-game fallback until inactives confirm availability; Tyler Allgeier remains the alternative to reassess if Love sits. Gibbens is an IDP role watch, while King’s elevation adds secondary depth without guaranteeing substantial snaps.

    Los Angeles RamsPostgame injury questions remain; no new verified rulingChecked · No new verified change Allen / Curl / Landman · Injury watch

    Afternoon check: No newer verified diagnosis or return timetable was found for Davis Allen’s head injury, Kam Curl’s ankle, Nate Landman’s shoulder or Myles Garrett’s knee concern. These remain postgame issues, not final Week 2 out designations.

    Usage findings unchanged: Kyren Williams retained the larger snap share despite Blake Corum receiving nearly as many carries. Puka Nacua led the target count, and Terrance Ferguson’s limited receiving involvement still makes him a risky tight-end stream.

    Roster check: The latest listed transaction remains Tanner Ingle’s September 10 practice-squad elevation, already covered in the morning edition. Newer recap publication dates do not establish a new medical development.

    Fantasy impact: Keep the existing Williams/Nacua plan and monitor Corum’s role. Wait for actual follow-up findings before applying Week 2 injury labels or projecting replacement snaps at tight end, linebacker or safety.

    San Francisco 49ersStribling and Tonges still await follow-up findingsChecked · No new verified change Stribling / Tonges · Update pending

    Afternoon check: No newer verified testing result or return timetable was found for De’Zhaun Stribling’s ankle or Jake Tonges’s knee. The prior report that Stribling’s Achilles was intact does not settle the ankle diagnosis; concern about Tonges does not establish a season-ending injury.

    Usage findings unchanged: Kaelon Black’s early involvement and 14 carries remain meaningful alongside Christian McCaffrey. George Kittle’s limited opening-game usage still deserves monitoring, while Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson all caught touchdown passes.

    Roster check: The official transaction log still leads with September 10 moves involving Alfred Collins, KhaDarel Hodge and Ogbo Okoronkwo, already included in the morning edition.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Black on the bench/waiver radar and McCaffrey in the starting plan. Do not make injury-driven drops or assign Robinson a larger role on an unconfirmed diagnosis. Stribling and Tonges still require a verified medical update.

    Seattle SeahawksDarnold’s Week 2 timetable remains unresolvedChecked · No new verified change Darnold · Week 2 status pending

    Afternoon check: No new official return timetable or final Week 2 ruling was found for Sam Darnold’s hip injury. ESPN’s expectation that he will miss the Arizona game remains an attributed report; the team expects more clarity Monday.

    Roles unchanged: Drew Lock remains the contingency. Jadarian Price and George Holani’s near-even opening-game snap split still limits assumptions of a workhorse role, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s target lead supports the established starting plan.

    Other checks: No newly verified availability change was found for Nick Emmanwori, Ty Okada or Tory Horton. The latest transaction-log entry remains the September 10 practice-squad reversions of Velus Jones Jr. and Rodney Thomas II, already covered.

    Fantasy impact: Superflex managers should have Lock or another replacement available while Darnold’s status develops. Keep Week 1 absences separate from future game rulings, and wait for Monday’s update before treating Seattle’s injured players as cleared or ruled out for Week 2.

    Reporting cutoff: September 12, 2026, 2:15 p.m. MDT. This edition updates the morning all-team review. Older context and unchanged statuses are identified below. “No new verified change” means the team was checked; it does not mean every player is healthy.

    Status key

    Cleared / Active Out / IR / Inactive Questionable / Doubtful / Pending Roster / Role / Contract No new verified change

    Read the exact words on each label. Cleared means no injury game designation; active requires game-day confirmation. A roster signing or elevation does not by itself confirm a player is active. Doubtful remains different from out. Labels describe named players, not an entire team.

    The lineup changes to see first

    • Eli Stowers is now on IR. Philadelphia also elevated Britain Covey. Stowers is no longer a questionable tight-end streaming option.
    • A.J. Brown and Tim Patrick are officially on IR. New England’s move confirms the earlier report; the Jets also completed Jason Sanders’s elevation for his Week 1 kicking assignment.
    • Mahomes, Rice and Worthy are cleared for Monday. Kansas City ruled out Josh Simmons and Chamarri Conner. Chris Jones has no game designation despite missing Saturday practice.
    • Cooper Rush had back spasms Saturday. Atlanta still says he will start. Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. remain out.
    • New Orleans put Audric Estimé on IR and elevated CJ Donaldson. Alvin Kamara remains questionable; the move does not rule him out.
    • Keep backups ready for Nabers, Odunze, Kamara and Jeremiyah Love. Their questionable designations remain unresolved in this check.

    NFL Fantasy Pulse: All 32 Teams, Week 1 Injuries and Role Changes

    Need to Know Now

    Highlights from this published edition.

    Team updates

    Buffalo BillsTy Johnson returns; three game-time decisions

    Questionable: Ty Johnson (hamstring), Jordan Hancock (quad) and T.J. Sanders (knee). Johnson returned to limited work Friday after more than a month out. Hancock finished with a full practice; Sanders was limited. Joe Brady said all three decisions can go to game time.

    Smaller detail: Brady described Sanders’s new knee issue as a tweak, without indicating a long-term concern. That is reassurance from the coach, not a clearance for Sunday.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Johnson out of a speculative flex spot until availability is settled. His return matters to the passing-down and return rotation; it does not establish a new workload for James Cook or Ray Davis. Hancock and Sanders belong on the Bills D/ST watch list.

    Sources: Bills Friday report, Sept. 11 · Final Bills–Texans practice table, Sept. 11

    Miami DolphinsChris Bell starts; backup RB work stays situational

    Cleared: Will Kacmarek (calf), Ronnie Harrison Jr. (hamstring), Seydou Traore (thumb/Achilles) and Dante Trader Jr. (hamstring) finished Friday as full participants without a game designation.

    Role update: Jeff Hafley confirmed rookie Chris Bell will start. Bell told the Miami Herald his game conditioning was about 85 percent. Hafley also said the Jaylen Wright/Ollie Gordon II decision depends on the play and situation, and that both will be needed.

    Quarterback depth: Hafley expressed confidence that No. 2 Kyle McCord can run the offense if called upon.

    Fantasy impact: Bell is a deep-league receiver to watch, with a starting assignment that still leaves his snap total unknown. Do not treat Wright as an automatic every-down replacement for De’Von Achane: the coach is describing a shared backup job.

    Sources: Dolphins final injury report, checked Sept. 12 · Hafley transcript, Sept. 11 · Miami Herald: Bell and backfield reporting, Sept. 11

    New England PatriotsBrown’s reported IR move; Stevenson and receiver usage

    Reported: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday that A.J. Brown is going on injured reserve after his high ankle sprain. That would mean missing at least the next four games, with Week 6 the earliest eligible return. A recovery date has not been guaranteed.

    Week 1 usage: With TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) inactive, Rhamondre Stevenson played 60 of 71 offensive snaps. He had 18 carries for 51 yards and five catches for 44 yards. Corey Kiner added six carries; Lan Larison caught two passes.

    Receiving watch: DeMario Douglas drew seven targets, Mack Hollins five and Romeo Doubs three. Hollins caught four passes for 51 yards; Doubs finished without a catch. Rookie Eli Raridon scored on his only target and played 38 snaps, while Hunter Henry caught all three targets. These are the opening-game results, not a settled post-Brown target order.

    Reported roster move: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that defensive tackle DaQuan Jones is expected to sign a one-year deal. The team transaction log also records Wednesday elevations for Larison and punter Mitch Wishnowsky.

    Fantasy impact: Hold Brown and use an IR slot when your platform allows. Assess Douglas, Hollins and Doubs for modest waiver bids; Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III remain deeper role watches. Stevenson’s heavy workload is conditional on Henderson’s absence continuing. Raridon’s touchdown alone does not make him a reliable starter. New England has already played, so these are Week 2 decisions.

    New York JetsJason Sanders gets the kicking job; Hall cleared

    Kicker decision: Aaron Glenn named Jason Sanders the Week 1 kicker. A practice-squad elevation was planned; the coach said the competition with Blake Grupe can continue after this game.

    Out: Tim Patrick (groin) and Joseph Ossai (foot). Doubtful: Kene Nwangwu (back) and D’Angelo Ponds (calf). Nwangwu’s back tightened Thursday and he missed Friday’s practice.

    Cleared: Breece Hall (groin), Isaiah Davis (knee) and Kenyon Sadiq (groin) practiced fully all week and have no game designation.

    Fantasy impact: Sanders is the Jets kicker to consider for this week; do not start Grupe expecting the job. Hall stays in normal lineup consideration. Patrick’s absence thins receiver depth, while Nwangwu’s situation matters more to the return game than to a standard-league rushing projection.

    Sources: Jets kicker and injury notebook, Sept. 11 · Jets final injury report, Sept. 11

    Baltimore RavensWalker questionable; Madubuike and Buchanan out

    Out: Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Teddye Buchanan (knee). Questionable: Devontez Walker (groin), after limited work throughout the week.

    Receiving clearance: Zay Flowers finished with full practices Thursday and Friday. The team’s Friday report says he is ready for the opener.

    Defensive depth: Broderick Washington is listed behind Madubuike. Baltimore described Madubuike as close to returning, but has not supplied a firm return date. Trenton Simpson is a co-starter at inside linebacker; a Carl Jones Jr. elevation was possible. Rookie Ja’Kobi Lane has moved into the top receiver trio, with Elijah Sarratt a possible beneficiary if Walker sits.

    Fantasy impact: Walker needs an inactive check in deep leagues. Flowers’s availability supports the original start recommendation. Replace Madubuike and Buchanan in IDP lineups; their absences also matter when assessing Baltimore’s run defense against Jonathan Taylor.

    Sources: Ravens final injury news, Sept. 11 · Ravens practice and game-status table

    Cincinnati BengalsChase and Higgins cleared; Stewart trends the other way

    Cleared: Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have no game designation. Chase’s Friday absence was listed as rest/knee; Higgins was full all three days with a foot listing. DJ Turner II (hamstring) also has no game designation despite limited Thursday and Friday work.

    Doubtful: Shemar Stewart (knee) went from full Wednesday to limited Thursday and no practice Friday.

    Practice context: Jonathan Allen, B.J. Hill and Dexter Lawrence II have no game designation. Do not convert their late-week participation or rest entries into an injury absence.

    Fantasy impact: Keep Chase and Higgins in normal starting plans. Stewart is an IDP availability concern and a potential reduction in edge depth. A practice absence and a game ruling are different things. Rookie Cashius Howell is a backup edge to watch: the team preview expects him to contribute, while Zac Taylor has not disclosed his snap allocation.

    Sources: Bengals final practice report, Sept. 11 · Bengals Week 1 role preview, Sept. 9

    Cleveland BrownsAustin Barber starts; Concepcion gets return work

    Offensive line: Teven Jenkins (back) is out. Todd Monken confirmed rookie Austin Barber will start at right guard. Backup center Parker Brailsford (thumb) is questionable.

    Cleared: Maliek Collins (quad) and Carson Schwesinger (shoulder) have no game designation; Schwesinger practiced fully all week.

    Role detail: Monken said KC Concepcion will handle punt returns as well as offense. He praised Deshaun Watson’s comfort after getting the first-team work. A potential game-day role for rookie quarterback Taylen Green was still undecided.

    Fantasy impact: Concepcion has an extra avenue to score in leagues that credit individual return yards. That does not guarantee extra receiving targets. The rookie right-guard start is a protection and rushing-efficiency watch for Watson and Quinshon Judkins. Do not assign Green a package or snap share before it is confirmed.

    Sources: Browns game-status announcement, Sept. 11 · Browns final practice table · Todd Monken transcript, Sept. 11

    Pittsburgh SteelersPorter questionable; offensive injury report is clean

    Questionable: Joey Porter Jr. (back), the only player on Pittsburgh’s final report, was limited all week. The Steelers enter the opener without an offensive game designation.

    Defensive context: DeShon Elliott was already on reserve/injured and must miss at least the first four games. The team identified Jaquan Brisker among the players taking on responsibility in his absence.

    Role watch: The Sept. 8 depth chart lists Jaylen Warren ahead of Rico Dowdle, and Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington as co-starters. The right-tackle listing alone did not settle the Dylan Cook/Max Iheanachor starting decision.

    Fantasy impact: Do not mistake an unofficial depth chart for a touch split. Porter’s final status matters to coverage against Drake London, while the opposing quarterback change to Cooper Rush supports considering Pittsburgh’s D/ST.

    Sources: Steelers Friday report, Sept. 11 · Week 1 depth-chart reporting, Sept. 9 · Steelers Week 1 depth chart, Sept. 8 (PDF)

    Houston TexansMcDonald goes on IR; Montgomery and Marks share the plan

    Confirmed transaction: Houston placed defensive tackle Kayden McDonald on reserve/injured Friday and signed Jaden Crumedy. McDonald is unavailable for at least four games.

    Cleared: Trent Brown (wrist) and Wade Woodaz (thumb) were full participants all week without a game designation.

    Backfield context: Houston’s Friday team analysis emphasizes sustaining the run game with both David Montgomery and Woody Marks. It does not provide a promised carry count or a new single-back arrangement.

    Fantasy impact: McDonald must come out of IDP lineups. Treat Montgomery and Marks as a backfield with unresolved opportunity distribution until the opener provides evidence. The defensive-line transaction is relevant to Houston’s depth against Buffalo, without making the entire D/ST unusable.

    Sources: Texans roster announcement, Sept. 11 · Texans final injury report, Sept. 11 · Texans run-game preview, Sept. 11

    Indianapolis ColtsPierce cleared; Ajiake added as questionable

    Receiving clearance: Alec Pierce (heel) remained limited Friday but has no game designation. Full practice participation is not required for a player to be cleared.

    Other clearances: A.J. Haulcy (ankle), Andrew Ogletree (neck), Anthony Richardson (illness) and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (illness) finished Friday full. Grover Stewart, DeForest Buckner and Charvarius Ward have no game designation after rest listings.

    New Friday concern: Austin Ajiake (hamstring) was added as a nonparticipant and is questionable.

    Fantasy impact: Pierce remains available to use, with his actual workload still worth watching after limited preparation. Ajiake is a depth and special-teams availability note, not a reason by itself to downgrade the Colts’ offensive starters.

    Sources: Colts final Week 1 practice and game-status table

    Jacksonville JaguarsAllen questionable; the right-tackle decision is separate

    Questionable: LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip), after limited work Thursday and Friday. Jakobi Meyers (thumb) has no game designation.

    Line nuance: Cole Van Lanen (knee) also has no game designation, but Liam Coen said the decision on his starting role can go to game time. Walker Little is the expected alternative at right tackle. Anton Harrison missed Friday with a foot injury but has no game designation.

    Backfield context: The Sept. 8 depth chart lists Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. as co-starters; it also lists rookie Emmanuel Pregnon as the starting left guard.

    Fantasy impact: Allen is not a safe emergency replacement until active. His uncertainty does not settle the Tuten/Rodriguez split. Meyers can be used normally; monitor the offensive line rather than incorrectly labelling Van Lanen officially questionable.

    Sources: Jaguars Friday notebook, Sept. 11 · Jaguars Week 1 depth chart, Sept. 8

    Tennessee TitansCedric Gray out; two late roster additions

    Out: Cedric Gray (concussion). Keldric Faulk (shoulder) was full all week and has no game designation. ESPN reports Anthony Hill Jr. or James Williams Sr. could replace Gray; a final starter was not established in that report.

    Roster moves: Tennessee signed cornerback Jaylon Jones and waived Melvin Smith Jr. on Sept. 10. On Sept. 11, the Titans were awarded guard Atonio Mafi off waivers and waived Garrett Dellinger. Mafi’s addition was subject to passing a physical.

    Fantasy impact: Replace Gray in IDP. Hill and Williams are role watches, with no guaranteed full-game tackle opportunity yet. The Jones and Mafi moves add depth; neither announcement changes a skill player’s projected workload on its own.

    Sources: Titans final injury report, Sept. 11 · ESPN: Gray and replacement options, Sept. 11 · Titans Mafi announcement, Sept. 11 · Team transaction log

    Denver BroncosMims full; Dobbins’s touch count remains unannounced

    Monday watch: Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) was a full participant Thursday and an estimated full participant Friday. Denver did not practice Friday. He was the only player on its report; Saturday’s game-status report was still pending at this check.

    Backfield: J.K. Dobbins is in line to start, with RJ Harvey and rookie Jonah Coleman available behind him. Sean Payton had not disclosed the snap distribution. The Denver Gazette reported Coleman was expected to be active, while Tyler Badie’s status remained uncertain.

    Fantasy impact: Dobbins’s return is useful news, but neither a guaranteed workhorse load nor Coleman’s game-day activation should be treated as final. Anyone using Mims as a late replacement should recheck Saturday’s report and Monday’s inactives.

    Sources: Broncos Friday report, Sept. 11 · Denver Gazette: rookie and RB roles, Sept. 11

    Kansas City ChiefsChris Jones added; Simmons and Conner miss practice

    New Friday listing: Chris Jones (calf) was limited. Josh Simmons (back) and Chamarri Conner (knee) missed both Thursday and Friday practices.

    Full participants: Patrick Mahomes (knee), Rashee Rice (knee), Xavier Worthy (shoulder), Trey Smith (hip), L’Jarius Sneed (knee), Jack Cochrane (knee), Ashton Gillotte (foot) and R Mason Thomas (hamstring) were full Thursday and Friday.

    Pending: Kansas City’s final Monday-game designations were not available at this check.

    Fantasy impact: Mahomes, Rice and Worthy are progressing positively, with a final report still to come. Simmons is a meaningful pass-protection watch against Denver. Jones and Conner matter to the Chiefs D/ST and IDP planning. Keep a Monday replacement if your lineup depends on an unresolved player.

    Sources: Chiefs Thursday/Friday practice report

    Las Vegas RaidersBowers out; Jeanty cleared; Mendoza named No. 2

    Out: Brock Bowers (knee). Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas are the available tight-end alternatives. Ashton Jeanty (ankle) was full all week with no game designation.

    Depth decisions: Klint Kubiak confirmed Fernando Mendoza as the backup to Kirk Cousins, ahead of Aidan O’Connell. Jackson Powers-Johnson will start at right guard ahead of Caleb Rogers; the coach has said both guards will play.

    Confirmed transaction: Las Vegas claimed guard Bryce Cabeldue from Seattle and waived Atonio Mafi on Sept. 10.

    Fantasy impact: Mayer is a tight-end streaming candidate while Bowers is out. A reported short recovery estimate for Bowers is not a promised return date. Start Jeanty in normal circumstances; Mike Washington Jr. is a depth watch, with no confirmed share of carries. Mendoza’s promotion is primarily relevant in deep superflex and dynasty leagues.

    Sources: Raiders final injury report, Sept. 11 · Kubiak depth-chart reporting, Sept. 11 · Raiders guard transaction, Sept. 10

    Los Angeles ChargersMitchell cleared; Tuipulotu questionable; new line confirmed

    Out: Deane Leonard (abdomen). Questionable: Tuli Tuipulotu (hip). Keaton Mitchell (hamstring), Brenen Thompson (hip), RJ Mickens (ankle) and Khalil Mack (rest) have no game designation.

    Offensive line: Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt are healthy. The opening interior is Kayode Awosika, rookie center Jake Slaughter and Cole Strange.

    Role watches: The tight-end group includes Oronde Gadsden, Charlie Kolar and David Njoku. With Denzel Perryman already on IR, Del’Shawn Phillips is the unofficial starter next to Daiyan Henley, with Troy Dye and Marlowe Wax also possible contributors.

    Fantasy impact: Mitchell’s clearance puts him back into the available backfield mix without establishing a workload. Do not assume all three tight ends have startable receiving volume. For IDP, check the linebacker rotation and Tuipulotu’s availability before assigning a full workload.

    Dallas CowboysMalik Davis’s injury now ends his season

    Material update: Dallas’s updated team report says Malik Davis suffered a hip injury Friday, had surgery that evening and will go on season-ending injured reserve. This is a longer absence than the initial Week 1 ruling covered in our Friday entry.

    Next backs: Emari Demercado moves into the immediate backup conversation behind Javonte Williams. Israel Abanikanda is on the practice squad; an elevation or promotion is a possibility, not a completed move in that report.

    Line change: Tyler Smith went on IR after thumb surgery. T.J. Bass is replacing him. Dallas promoted Nick Leverett and added Laken Tomlinson to the practice squad on Sept. 9.

    Contracts and depth: Ryan Flournoy agreed to an extension through 2027, and Brevyn Spann-Ford received a three-year extension. These deals reinforce roster security, not guaranteed targets. Jonathan Bullard and Ajani Cornelius finished the week full without a game designation; Luke Schoonmaker also has no game designation.

    Fantasy impact: Davis is no longer a one-week bench hold in ordinary redraft. Demercado becomes the direct backup to examine, while Williams remains the first back to start. Account for the missing starting guard instead of assuming the backfield injury automatically makes the offense more efficient.

    New York GiantsNabers still questionable despite three full practices

    Questionable: Malik Nabers (knee), the only Giant with a game designation. He was full all three days, but that has not become an unconditional clearance for Sunday night.

    Cleared: Theo Johnson (shoulder), Andrew Thomas (knee), Shelby Harris (Achilles) and Bryan Hudson (knee) were full all week. Patrick Ricard (toe) was full Friday with no game designation.

    Fantasy impact: Nabers managers need a playable Sunday-night or Monday alternative before earlier games lock. A healthy earlier receiver can be the better decision if no late backup is available. The Johnson and Thomas clearances are useful for the passing game; they do not remove Nabers’s separate uncertainty.

    Sources: Giants final injury report, Sept. 11 · Giants–Cowboys final practice table

    Philadelphia EaglesStowers questionable; Greenard out; Gipson added

    Out: Jonathan Greenard (pectoral). Questionable: Eli Stowers (hamstring). Both were limited throughout the week.

    Rookie roles: Stowers told the Philadelphia Inquirer the plan was to play, but his official questionable designation remains. Makai Lemon has returned from his preseason hamstring issue and is listed first at punt returner; the Inquirer notes that a Britain Covey elevation could still affect that role. Their offensive workloads remain unsettled.

    Friday transaction: Philadelphia signed Xavier Gipson to the practice squad and placed Danny Gray on practice-squad injured reserve.

    Fantasy impact: Stowers is a deep-league wait rather than a safe tight-end stream. Lemon is worth watching for both receiving and return work, without turning an unofficial listing into guaranteed usage. Greenard must come out of IDP lineups and is a loss to the Eagles’ pass rush.

    Sources: Eagles final injury report · Philadelphia Inquirer: rookie availability and roles, Sept. 11 · Team transaction log

    Washington CommandersCroskey-Merritt, Oweh and Chaisson cleared

    No game designations: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Odafe Oweh (calf), K’Lavon Chaisson (knee) and Daron Payne (knee) are available despite limited practice work.

    Also available: Nick Allegretti (calf), Javon Kinlaw (back), Jordan Magee (chest), Marcus Mariota (knee), Charles Omenihu (wrist) and Ben Sinnott (oblique) finished Friday full.

    Backfield context: The Sept. 8 depth chart lists Croskey-Merritt first, followed by Rachaad White and Kaytron Allen.

    Fantasy impact: Croskey-Merritt’s clearance removes an injury obstacle but does not settle the split with White. Both leading edge rushers being available is a positive for Washington’s defensive personnel, with the matchup against Philadelphia still a separate D/ST decision.

    Chicago BearsOdunze plans to play; official status still questionable

    Questionable: Rome Odunze (calf), Tyson Bagent (back), Ozzy Trapilo (knee) and Xavier Woods (groin). Odunze and Trapilo were limited all week; Bagent did not practice. Woods was limited Thursday and Friday.

    Player comments: Odunze said Friday that he planned to play. That optimism does not replace the official game designation. Case Keenum is the backup alternative if Bagent cannot go.

    Rest and depth: Joe Thuney and Grady Jarrett returned to full work Friday after rest days. Chicago signed defensive backs Anthony Johnson and Keidron Smith to the practice squad Sept. 9.

    Fantasy impact: Keep an inactive check attached to Odunze’s start decision. If he is out or limited, Luther Burden III and the tight ends become opportunity watches, not automatic recipients of every missing target. Woods is an IDP availability decision.

    Detroit LionsKennedy joins the roster; Izien the lone question mark

    Questionable: Christian Izien (groin). Derrick Moore (hamstring) and Mekhi Wingo (groin) improved to full Friday. Keith Abney II (hand), Thomas Harper (ankle), Trevor Nowaske (knee), Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (ankle) and Jimmy Rolder (hamstring) were full with no game designation.

    Roster moves: Detroit promoted Tom Kennedy and added Natrone Brooks to the practice squad Sept. 10. Dave Fipp confirmed Kennedy will return punts. The Sept. 11 log records releases of Levi Onwuzurike and practice-squad lineman Tyre West.

    Existing absences still matter: Isiah Pacheco was placed on IR Sept. 1. Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph began the season on reserve/PUP. Those earlier moves are context, not fresh Friday injuries.

    Fantasy impact: Kennedy is relevant to leagues that score return work, with the receiver role still a separate question. Pacheco is unavailable; do not infer a new Jahmyr Gibbs injury from defensive-only listings. Recheck Izien and account for the existing safety absences in D/ST decisions.

    Green Bay PackersLloyd leads the available backs; two linemen questionable

    Backfield context: Josh Jacobs remains ineligible on the commissioner’s exempt list. WBAY reports MarShawn Lloyd has taken first-team work and is atop the unofficial depth chart, with Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson also involved. Practice-squad back Pierre Strong was doing hamstring rehab Thursday.

    Out: Warren Brinson (calf). Questionable: Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele (both knee), plus Ty’Ron Hopper (Achilles). Hopper returned to limited work Friday.

    Cleared: Jordan Morgan (knee), Javon Hargrave (knee), Barryn Sorrell (foot) and Devonte Wyatt (ankle) have no game designation.

    Transactions: The Sept. 11 log records Bo Melton’s release and practice-squad signing. On Sept. 9, Green Bay signed Damon Bankston and Kahlef Hailassie to the practice squad and released Murvin Kenion III.

    Fantasy impact: Lloyd is the first back to assess for an emergency start, with committee risk and two offensive-line questions. Do not start Jacobs. Melton’s practice-squad status is not a confirmed game-day elevation or a new receiving workload.

    Minnesota VikingsNo game designations; Jones and Mason remain co-starters

    Cleared roster: No player on Minnesota’s 53-man roster received a game designation. Jakobe Thomas (illness), Jacob Thomas (ankle) and Caleb Tiernan (ankle) were full Friday.

    Week 1 roles: The Sept. 9 unofficial depth chart names Kyler Murray as the starting quarterback and Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason as co-starters at running back. Demond Claiborne is behind them. Jauan Jennings joins Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in the first receiver rows.

    Roster note: Minnesota signed Jihad Ward on Sept. 9. Harrison Smith’s Sept. 8 signing and Ben Yurosek’s placement on IR are earlier context for the active roster.

    Fantasy impact: There is no new injury-based reason to move Minnesota’s main offensive options down. Jones and Mason’s listing still leaves the touch split open. A healthy roster does not make both backs guaranteed volume plays.

    Atlanta FalconsRush starts; Strand backs him up; Branch cleared

    Quarterback change: Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) are out. Cooper Rush starts, with Jack Strand his backup. Penix’s full practice listing does not make him active.

    Other rulings: Billy Bowman Jr. (Achilles) and Cameron Williams (ankle) are out. Za’Darius Smith (shoulder) is questionable despite a full Friday practice.

    Cleared: Zachariah Branch (hamstring), Kendal Daniels (Achilles), Brandon Dorlus (groin), Da’Shawn Hand (knee), Kyle Hinton (knee) and Jawaan Taylor (knee) were full Friday without a game designation. Jake Matthews had a rest day.

    Fantasy impact: Bijan Robinson remains a start. Treat Drake London as a receiver who can still be used with a lower passing ceiling, and Kyle Pitts as a more fragile tight-end decision. Rush is an emergency multi-quarterback option. Branch’s clearance is a small positive for depth, not a guarantee of meaningful volume.

    Carolina PanthersBrooks cleared without limitations; edge rotation opens

    Cleared: Jonathon Brooks (groin) and Bobby Brown III (back) were full Friday. Dave Canales said Brooks has no limitations and will work with Chuba Hubbard; AJ Dillon remains the third back.

    Out: Patrick Jones II (back). Canales would not commit to a fixed replacement opposite Jaelan Phillips, citing situational choices involving Princely Umanmielen and Trevis Gipson, with Thomas Incoom also needing to be ready.

    Practice-squad move: Carolina signed Jeremiah Moon and released Cam Gill on Sept. 9.

    Fantasy impact: Brooks is available to use, but “no limitations” does not mean a guaranteed touch total. Hubbard and Brooks need a first-game usage check before assuming a specific split. Umanmielen and Gipson are IDP role watches rather than confirmed full-snap replacements.

    New Orleans SaintsKamara questionable; Estimé, Delp and Jordan out

    Questionable: Alvin Kamara (knee), even after a full Friday practice. Kellen Moore said Kamara would travel with the team; that is not the same as an active-game decision.

    Out: Audric Estimé (thigh), Oscar Delp (hamstring) and Cameron Jordan (hamstring). Jordan returned to limited practice Friday but is still ruled out. Davon Godchaux returned from a rest day and has no game designation.

    Existing roster watch: Jordyn Tyson remains on IR. His appearance around Friday’s team-photo activities does not establish a practice return or game clearance.

    Fantasy impact: Kamara needs an inactive check and an early-game alternative. Estimé is not an available fallback. Travis Etienne is the back to reassess if Kamara sits; Delp’s absence narrows tight-end depth without guaranteeing extra targets for Juwan Johnson. Remove Jordan from IDP lineups.

    Tampa Bay BuccaneersEgbuka full-go; three doubtful; Trotter wins a starting role

    Doubtful: Jalen McMillan (knee), Sean Tucker (hamstring) and Justin Skule (oblique). Questionable: Christian Rozeboom (foot). Rueben Bain Jr. (shoulder), Emeka Egbuka (toe) and Billy Schrauth (knee) have no game designation.

    Workload detail: Todd Bowles said Egbuka is full-go. Ted Hurst is a candidate for more work if McMillan is out. Bowles said a Josh Williams practice-squad elevation was possible if a third running back is needed, but it was not automatic.

    IDP role: Josiah Trotter earned a first-team spot alongside Alex Anzalone. The team’s Sept. 9 notebook identifies Anzalone as the defensive signal-caller.

    Fantasy impact: Use Egbuka normally. Make alternative plans for McMillan and Tucker. Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are the active backfield options described in the Friday notebook, with no fixed split promised. Hurst is a deep-league watch; Trotter’s confirmed starting role is more useful than a speculative depth-chart promotion.

    Sources: Buccaneers final injury report, Sept. 11 · Buccaneers notebook, Sept. 9–11

    Arizona CardinalsLove questionable; three starters unavailable

    Questionable: Jeremiyah Love (ankle), limited all week. Mike LaFleur said he was trending toward playing; the official decision remains unresolved.

    Out: Isaiah Adams (knee), Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ribs) and Garrett Williams (Achilles). Jon Gaines II is the replacement identified for Adams at right guard.

    Cleared: Josh Sweat (knee/rest), Will Johnson (ankle) and punter Blake Gillikin (right groin) have no game designation. Sweat finished Friday full.

    Fantasy impact: Keep a later-playing alternative for Love, or choose a healthy earlier option. Tyler Allgeier is the back to reassess if Love is inactive, with workload still requiring confirmation. The guard and secondary absences matter to both Arizona’s offensive efficiency and the matchup for the Chargers.

    Los Angeles RamsCorum gets carries; receiving usage and injuries need context

    Backfield usage: Kyren Williams had 11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown, plus three catches. Blake Corum had 10 carries for 54 yards. Rams Wire recorded 39 offensive snaps for Williams and 14 for Corum, so similar carry counts did not mean equal passing-down roles.

    Pass catchers: Puka Nacua drew nine targets and Davante Adams six. Colby Parkinson played more snaps than Terrance Ferguson; Ferguson finished with one target and no catch. Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith rotated at WR3. The starters’ full-game percentages were also affected by the final drive with backups.

    Injury watch: Davis Allen (head), Kam Curl (ankle) and Nate Landman (shoulder) left the game. Omar Speights briefly exited and returned. These are postgame concerns, not final Week 2 rulings. Myles Garrett played 62 percent of snaps and said he was not yet fully healthy.

    Roster context: Aaron Donald was inactive for the opener. The Rams elevated safety Tanner Ingle from the practice squad Sept. 10.

    Fantasy impact: Hold Williams as the preferred fantasy back; Corum’s rushing involvement is real. Nacua remains a start, while Adams’s formation-dependent playing time deserves attention. Ferguson is not a safe stream on this evidence. Recheck the defensive and tight-end injuries before making Week 2 decisions.

    San Francisco 49ersBlack earns real work; Stribling and Tonges await clarity

    Backfield: Kaelon Black had 14 carries for 65 yards and a catch. Christian McCaffrey had 10 carries for 68 yards and five catches on eight targets. The snap review recorded 36 snaps for McCaffrey and 28 for Black. Black was involved early, not only after the game was decided.

    Receiving: Mike Evans caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Deebo Samuel Sr. also drew seven targets and scored; Demarcus Robinson scored on one of his two catches. George Kittle caught two of five targets for 12 yards and played 30 snaps, compared with Luke Farrell’s 46.

    Injuries: De’Zhaun Stribling left with an ankle injury and Jake Tonges with a knee injury. Kyle Shanahan said Stribling’s Achilles was intact but further tests were needed; he described concern about Tonges’s knee without a final diagnosis or timeline. Do not turn that into a confirmed season-ending injury.

    Defensive and roster notes: Alfred Collins went on IR after a torn patellar tendon; Shanahan said he will miss the season. KhaDarel Hodge and Ogbo Okoronkwo were activated for the opener. Fred Warner returned with 11 tackles and a forced fumble; Nick Bosa played 36 snaps.

    Fantasy impact: Black is a meaningful bench/waiver target, especially for McCaffrey managers; McCaffrey remains a start. Stribling’s uncertainty strengthens the case to watch Robinson and Samuel’s next roles. Kittle’s limited usage deserves attention without a panic drop. Wait for actual follow-up findings on Stribling and Tonges.

    Seattle SeahawksDarnold’s timetable unresolved; Price and Holani split snaps

    Quarterback: Mike Macdonald said Thursday testing showed Sam Darnold’s hip was intact and described a muscular issue. He did not give a return date and said his initial expectation was Drew Lock could play at Arizona. ESPN reported Darnold is expected to miss Week 2, citing Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. That remains an attributed expectation; the team expects more clarity when work resumes Monday.

    Backfield usage: Jadarian Price played 24 snaps, George Holani 23 and Emanuel Wilson three. Price had 10 carries for 52 yards and Holani eight for 29. Zach Charbonnet was unavailable for the opener.

    Receiving: Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight passes for 122 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. AJ Barner played 44 of 50 offensive snaps, but drew only two targets. Cooper Kupp played 39 snaps and Rashid Shaheed 33; Elijah Arroyo played 11.

    Availability and depth: Nick Emmanwori, Ty Okada and Tory Horton missed the opener. Macdonald said Emmanwori and Horton had been close, without clearing them for Week 2. Seattle signed AJ Finley, released Bryce Cabeldue and elevated Velus Jones Jr. and Rodney Thomas II Sept. 9; the two elevations reverted Sept. 10.

    Fantasy impact: Lock is a contingency for superflex managers while Darnold’s status develops. Smith-Njigba’s target dominance supports holding the starting plan. Price has an opportunity, with Holani’s near-equal playing time tempering workhorse expectations. Barner’s snaps are encouraging, but two targets keep him in the streaming-watch category. Thomas’s big defensive role depended on missing teammates.

    Edition overview, reporting cutoff, status key and sources

    32 teams checked · Week 1 field guide

    Injuries, role changes, opening-game usage and the smaller roster moves. Open a team below for the news, fantasy takeaway and original sources.

    Reporting checked September 12, 2026, at 6:50 a.m. MDT. This edition reviews September 9–12 reports, with earlier roster decisions clearly identified as context. Analysis assumes typical 12-team PPR leagues; superflex, return-yardage and individual defensive player (IDP) notes are labelled.

    Start here: the decisions that cannot wait

    • Dallas: Malik Davis’s updated team report now describes a season-ending injury. Reassess Emari Demercado behind Javonte Williams.
    • New England: A.J. Brown’s reported IR move calls for a multiweek replacement plan. Keep Brown; assess the receivers competing for work.
    • Sunday availability: Brock Bowers, Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are out. Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, Alvin Kamara and Jeremiyah Love remain questionable.
    • Small news, real decisions: Jason Sanders is the Jets’ Week 1 kicker; Jonathon Brooks has been cleared without limitations; Green Bay’s available backfield is led by MarShawn Lloyd.
    • Monday: Denver and Kansas City still owe final game-status reports. Protect a late replacement if your lineup depends on an unresolved player.

    How to read this: “Cleared” means no injury game designation, not a promised full workload. “Reported” identifies sourced reporting before team confirmation. “Watch” is our analysis of what to check next. Official inactives remain the final game-day availability check.

    This entry updates the September 11 Week 1 report, including the longer Davis absence, and adds the full-team review. Earlier reporting remains available.

    NFL Fantasy Week 1: Sunday Starts and Late-Game Injury Decisions

    Cooper Rush’s unexpected start changes Atlanta’s outlook, while Malik Nabers’ Sunday-night status makes a workable backup plan essential.

    Reporting date: September 11, 2026

    Lineup recommendations assume typical 12-team PPR leagues. Injury information reflects Friday’s reports; game-day availability and any announced workload restrictions take precedence.

    The 13 Sunday games begin at 1 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Mountain.

    For fantasy managers, Friday’s reports offer a chance to reconsider decisions made when the injury picture was less settled. A player who practiced only in a limited capacity is not necessarily questionable for Sunday. Equally, a full practice does not automatically remove a questionable designation.

    The distinction matters most when a decision reaches beyond the early games. A strong alternative is worth less once his kickoff has passed, so the remaining schedule needs to be part of the lineup decision.

    Atlanta’s quarterback change does not make every Falcon a sit

    The Falcons have ruled Tua Tagovailoa out with an oblique injury. Michael Penix Jr. is also out, despite being listed as a full participant Friday, leaving Cooper Rush to start against Pittsburgh.

    Bijan Robinson remains a start. We would lower our expectations for Atlanta’s scoring efficiency after the late quarterback change, but Robinson has routes to production beyond conventional handoffs. The Falcons have discussed expanding their screen game under offensive coordinator Tommy Rees. As historical context, the team’s reporting credits Robinson with 20 screen receptions in 2025, the most among NFL running backs.

    That does not guarantee extra receptions with Rush. It does help explain why we would retain more confidence in Robinson than in a passing-game option dependent on successful downfield throws.

    Our adjustment for Drake London is to treat him as a WR2 this week rather than assume a top-tier result. He still belongs in most starting lineups. A less comfortable quarterback situation is not enough reason to replace him with a speculative receiver whose involvement is even less certain.

    Kyle Pitts becomes a closer decision. We would treat him as a borderline starting tight end, not automatically award him extra targets because a backup quarterback is playing. Rush himself belongs in the emergency discussion for leagues that allow multiple starting quarterbacks, rather than as a default streamer in one-quarterback formats.

    Michael Mayer is the first waiver check for Bowers managers

    The Raiders have officially ruled Brock Bowers out against Miami. Michael Mayer is directly behind him on the team’s unofficial depth chart, making him the most straightforward replacement to investigate.

    In the four 2025 regular-season games Mayer played without Bowers, he caught 18 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown. That works out to 10.9 points per game under conventional PPR scoring.

    The four-game sample is too small to establish a dependable weekly floor. It nevertheless gives the recommendation more substance than simply pointing to the next tight end on the roster.

    We would use Mayer as a short-term streaming replacement when there is not already a stronger option on the bench. He is also a reasonable alternative for managers uncomfortable starting Pitts after Atlanta’s quarterback change. Neither recommendation requires assuming that Mayer inherits Bowers’ entire role.

    Hall and Jeanty offer reassurance; Love still needs a decision

    Breece Hall has no game-status designation for the Jets’ opener at Tennessee after full participation throughout the practice week. We would keep him in starting lineups rather than continue discounting him for his earlier groin injury.

    The same approach applies to Ashton Jeanty. Las Vegas listed him as a full participant throughout the week with no game-status designation after his ankle injury. Mike Washington Jr. remains a reserve behind him, not an injury-replacement starter for this matchup.

    Jeremiyah Love remains officially questionable. Arizona listed him as limited throughout the week because of his ankle. Coach Mike LaFleur’s encouraging assessment does not remove the designation or establish how much work Love will receive.

    There is a separate workload consideration, too. LaFleur has explained his preference for sharing running-back work, and the Cardinals’ reporting makes clear that Tyler Allgeier was not signed simply to wait for an injury.

    We would start Hall or Jeanty over Love this week. Should Love be active without an announced restriction, he remains an RB2 or flex consideration. A comparable healthy alternative with a clearer workload gets our preference for the opener.

    Arizona plays in Sunday’s late-afternoon window. Managers waiting on Love need an eligible replacement whose game has not started, subject to their league’s lineup-lock rules.

    Kamara’s full Friday practice does not settle his status

    Alvin Kamara is questionable with a knee injury, despite progressing from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to a full practice Friday.

    That makes Kamara a game-day check, not an automatic start based on Friday’s practice label. New Orleans also lists Travis Etienne Jr. alongside him in the first-team row of its unofficial depth chart, so managers should not build expectations around Kamara monopolizing the backfield even if he is active.

    Our preference is a healthy, comparably ranked alternative when the decision is close. Kamara can remain a lineup consideration if active, but the practice report alone does not establish an unrestricted workload.

    Tampa Bay’s doubtful players matter to the starters around them

    The Buccaneers list Sean Tucker as doubtful with a hamstring injury and Jalen McMillan as doubtful with a knee injury. Emeka Egbuka, by contrast, practiced fully throughout the week and has no game-status designation.

    Tucker’s potential absence strengthens our preference for Bucky Irving in a close running-back decision. It could remove one competitor for work, but it would not leave Irving alone: Kenny Gainwell is also on the depth chart. We would not translate Tucker’s designation into a guaranteed goal-line role or a specific carry total for Irving.

    Egbuka stays in our starting plans. McMillan’s possible absence creates a more encouraging opportunity picture for the remaining receivers, including Chris Godwin, without allowing us to assign additional targets as though they have already been distributed.

    Neither Tucker nor McMillan has been officially ruled out in Friday’s report. The distinction should remain intact until Tampa Bay changes it.

    Odunze needs a check, but several other receiver concerns have eased

    Chicago has listed Rome Odunze as questionable with a calf injury after three limited practices. His availability needs checking before the Bears face Carolina in the early window.

    Our approach is to consider Odunze a WR3 or flex option if active without a reported restriction. Against a healthy receiver with comparable opportunity, however, we would take the healthier player. In a direct Egbuka–Odunze decision, our preference is Egbuka.

    The circumstances are different for Alec Pierce and Jakobi Meyers. Pierce was limited throughout the week with a heel injury but has no game-status designation. Meyers was also limited throughout the week, with a thumb injury, and likewise has no game-status designation. Neither should be described as a Friday game-time decision simply because he did not practice fully.

    Zay Flowers progressed to full participation Thursday and Friday and has no game-status designation. There is no injury-report reason to make an emergency replacement for him.

    Cincinnati’s report also warrants a careful reading. Ja’Marr Chase did not practice Friday, with rest and a knee issue listed, but he has no game-status designation; neither does Tee Higgins. We would keep both in their normal starting plans rather than react to Chase’s Friday practice label in isolation.

    Waiting for Nabers requires a workable late replacement

    Malik Nabers is questionable despite practicing fully on all three days, according to the Giants’ final injury report. His practice record is encouraging, but it does not turn him into a confirmed starter.

    Dallas–New York begins Sunday at 8:20 p.m. Eastern, 6:20 p.m. Mountain. Almost every other Sunday option will have started by then.

    Our recommendation is to wait for Nabers only when there is a credible alternative. An eligible Sunday-night or Monday player already on the bench is preferable to assuming someone useful will remain available later.

    Where league settings permit, leave the later-playing receiver in the flex slot, putting an earlier receiver in the dedicated receiver position. That preserves the option of replacing him with an eligible running back or tight end rather than restricting the replacement to another receiver.

    Marvin Mims Jr. is one possible Monday insurance option, contingent on his final status and availability in the league. Denver lists him in the first unit of its unofficial depth chart, although that does not establish a dependable receiving workload.

    Mims participated fully Thursday and was an estimated full participant Friday. Denver did not actually practice Friday, and its game-status report is due Saturday.

    Mims is emergency protection, not a reason to bypass a clearly stronger healthy starter earlier Sunday. Managers without a credible late replacement should resolve the Nabers decision before their best alternative locks.

    Dallas loses a backup; Monday’s final reports are still ahead

    Dallas has ruled Malik Davis out with a hip injury. The Cowboys’ reporting identifies him as the backup to Javonte Williams, with Emari Demercado next in line.

    That strengthens our comfort with Williams in a close start/sit decision, but does not establish how Dallas will distribute every available touch. Demercado is a deeper-league contingency consideration, not someone we would promote directly into a typical 12-team starting lineup based only on Davis’ absence.

    For Monday night, Kansas City listed Patrick Mahomes as a full participant Thursday and Friday. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy were also full participants both days. Those are encouraging participation reports, not the final game-status declarations.

    Our starting plans for Rice remain unchanged on that information. Mahomes’ practice record provides no injury-based reason for an emergency quarterback change, although choosing him over another healthy quarterback remains a separate ranking decision.

    Denver–Kansas City begins Monday, September 14, at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, 6:15 p.m. Mountain. Check the final reports before allowing Sunday alternatives to lock.

    A questionable designation does not automatically require a player to be benched. It does require a decision about how much uncertainty the roster can absorb. Waiting is easier to justify when there is still a useful alternative, rather than an empty starting position, on the other side of it.
