Browns coach Todd Monken said he “anticipates” Deshaun Watson will start for the Browns in Week 2.

14 September 2026

Monken had been a little more evasive on the issue in his post-game interview after Week 1’s shellacking. It appears the Browns would like to touch the hot stove at least one more time against the Buccaneers. Expectations for all Browns pass-catchers and runners can be lowered even against a middling Bucs defense. Monken added “there were some really good things on film.”

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said LB Henry To’oTo’o “will be out for some time” with a shoulder injury.

14 September 2026

To’oTo’o left in the second half of Week 1’s loss to the Bills but the team never announced a status after he appeared shaken up on the field. It would not be terribly surprising if an IR designation were coming. Jake Hansen played as Houston’s second linebacker if To’oTo’o’s absence.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chargers WR Ladd McConkey will undergo testing to determine the severity of his rib injury.

14 September 2026

McConkey may miss a little time, but that will be determined in the coming days. The third-year receiver suffered a rib injury in Sunday’s Week 1 loss to the Cardinals and finished the day with 5-82-1 on seven targets. If he’s unable to play in Week 2 against the Raiders, Derius Davis could be in line to take over his role in the slot. Davis ran all nine of his routes from the slot on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said CB Jacob Parrish (back) has a back sprain.

14 September 2026

X-Rays and MRIs were negative. It sounds like Parrish will be week-to-week going forward assuming he is not placed on IR at some point this week. From an outsider’s perspective, “back sprain” isn’t something you really love to hear.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Cowboys S Malik Hooker suffered a fractured bone in his forearm in Week 1’s loss to the Giants.

14 September 2026

According to Rapoport, the hope is that Hooker can return in less than six weeks. Hooker is meeting with a specialist to get a better sense of how long he could be out. Hooker missed five games last season due to a toe injury and is now set for another multi-game absence with this latest injury. Safety P.J. Locke is listed behind Hooker on the depth chart and played on 28 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Giants.

Rams HC Sean McVay said the team is undecided on whether or not Aaron Donald will play in Week 2 against the Giants.

14 September 2026


Rams HC Sean McVay said he doesn’t have a timeline for when Myles Garrett (knee) will return.

14 September 2026

Garrett will miss at least four games after going on injured reserve. The All-Pro pass-rusher is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee after struggling to play through the injury in Week 1. Garrett’s absence is a massive blow to the Rams’ defense, but they should have enough players in place to get through what they hope is a short time away.

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel said TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) will practice on Monday.

14 September 2026


NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Falcons DL Da’Shawn Hand is believed to have suffered a torn quad in Week 1’s loss to the Steelers.

14 September 2026

Hand exited in the second quarter of Sunday’s game and was initially believed to have suffered a knee injury. Hand is reportedly seeking multiple opinions on his injury, but if he did suffer a torn quad, the 30-year-old lineman would be facing season-ending surgery. Hand signed a one-year contract with the Falcons this offseason after totaling 29 tackles, five TFLs, and 1.5 sacks with the Chargers last season.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn said he does not have an update on Minkah Fitzpatrick’s groin injury after Week 1’s win over the Titans.

14 September 2026

Fitzpatrick attempted to return to the field in Week 1’s win over the Titans before officially being ruled out. If we don’t get an update before Wednesday, his status will be one to keep an eye on when the team releases its first injury report. The Jets will play host to the Packers in Week 2.

Calvin Ridley was not targeted in the Titans’ Week 1 loss to the Jets.

14 September 2026

Ridley’s 25 routes run were good for third-most among Titans receivers in Sunday’s loss, but the 31-year-old receiver went without a target despite his team trailing the entire game. Any hope that Ridley would improve on last year’s 17-303-0 performance will need to be put on hold for now, as Ridley and the Titans offense as a whole struggled mightily in the season opener.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Vikings do not know if Kyler Murray will progress through concussion protocol in time to play in Week 2’s game against the Bears.

14 September 2026

Murray was in a fencing posture after taking a hit to the head from Javon Bullard in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Packers. Murray was reportedly in good spirits after the game, but he will have to pass a series of tests in the coming days in time to be cleared for next week’s game against the Bears. While the Vikings are unsure whether or not Murray will be available, it’s not at all uncommon for a concussed player to miss the following week’s game. We’ll see how thi ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Zay Flowers’ hamstring injury is “not considered serious” after Week 1’s win over the Colts.

14 September 2026

Flowers will have an MRI to confirm the exact severity of his injury, but according to Rapoport, sources familiar with the situation said Flowers likely would have returned to the field if it were a playoff game. The Ravens held a 31-13 lead over the Colts at halftime, thanks in large part to Flowers’ 5-150-1 line in the first half. Flowers is reportedly considered day-to-day at this time, meaning he could have a good shot at suiting up for Week 2 against the Saints.

Malachi Fields caught 2-of-4 targets for 25 yards in the Giants’ Week 1 win over the Cowboys.

14 September 2026

The rookie wide receiver showcased an all-around polished skillset that included trust in the run game, reinforcing offseason reports that he had locked down the WR2 role opposite Malik Nabers. His 6'4, 220-pound frame was on full display as he was continually utilized as both a down-blocker and blocker in the second level on runs, something that should allow him to continue to operate as the clear-cut WR2 for the Giants throughout his rookie campaign. That said, the box scores highlights the o ...

Cam Skattebo rushed 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 1 win over the Cowboys.

14 September 2026

Although Skattebo was not targeted in the pass game, his 18 carries handily led the team. Furthermore, presumed backup Tyrone Tracy lost a fumble on one of his two carries, resulting in Devin Singletary taking over primary backup duties for the remainder of the game. Those two variables should keep Skattebo’s weekly volume high after showing no ill effects of the devastating ankle injury suffered in 2025. His touchdown now gives him eight total scores in nine professional appearances despite ...

Isaiah Likely caught all eight targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the Giants’ Week 1 win over the Cowboys.

14 September 2026

Making his debut for a new team, Likely didn’t wait long to prove he can be a featured tight end for the Giants, scoring on the final possession of the first half and first possession after the break. His first score highlighted his athleticism as he escaped coverage to the corner of the end zone from 15 yards out while his second trip to paint was reminiscent of a Nagy design for Travis Kelce in which the veteran tight end shed a chip-block in the flat for an easy score from two yards. Likel ...

Malik Nabers caught 6-of-9 targets for 69 yards in the Giants’ Week 1 win over the Cowboys.

14 September 2026

Nabers took his decision to play all the way up to inactives, ultimately deeming himself healthy enough to take the field against a divisional rival. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy didn’t take long to knock the rust off his alpha receiver, giving him a quick out on his first target to get his feet wet and get into the flow of the game. Nabers would make numerous athletic plays from that point forward, combing with newcomer tight end Isaiah Likely to account for 17 targets on only 29 Jaxson D ...

Jake Ferguson caught both targets for six yards in the Cowboys’ Week 1 loss to the Giants.

14 September 2026

The Cowboys were dominated in both time of possession and total offense on a night the Giants converted 9-of-10 third downs, resulting in the poor showing in the box scores for the veteran tight end. Ferguson’s stark fantasy splits when both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are healthy remain a concern for fantasy managers that invested a middle-round pick in his services, something that a home matchup against a forgiving Commanders defense could remedy. Even so, Ferguson is nothing more than a ...

Ryan Flournoy caught 2-of-4 targets for 22 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 1 loss to the Giants.

14 September 2026

The veteran receiver inked a one-year contract extension this offseason to retain his supporting role in the high-powered Dallas offense, but the early returns were less than inspiring. Flournoy appeared to have a stranglehold on the WR3 duties for the Cowboys but will be hard-pressed to return consistent fantasy production for as long as both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens remain healthy. He’ll be a boom-bust WR4 in a plus matchup against the Commanders in Week 2.

Jaxson Dart completed 23-of-29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants’ 28-20, Week 1 win over the Cowboys, adding 54 yards on 11 carries.

14 September 2026

Dart managed to convert 9-of-10 third downs as the Giants completely controlled the flow of the game against their divisional rivals, leading to over 13 more minutes of possession than the Cowboys. Fantasy managers will also be ecstatic about the 11 rush attempts, specifically due to the fact that over half of those were designed carries in Matt Nagy’s offense. Touchdown passes to tight end Isaiah Likely book-ended halftime, with the second-year quarterback adding a third to running back Devi ...
