Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should be considered a low-end QB1 in Week 2’s bout against the Dallas Cowboys. With the defense reeling in Week 1, Ryan was forced to carry the team and try to keep up, getting 450 pass yards total. With Dallas boasting a high-octane offense, the Falcons may have to put up many points to keep up again. Start Ryan with

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The second-round pick will have to miss at least three weeks now. At this point, it would be a surprise to see Mims make much of an impact anytime soon, though he’s still got tons of dynasty potential. Fantasy managers in shallow leagues who have Mims rostered probably don’t need

Houston Texans tight end Kahale Warring has been placed on Injured Reserve with an undisclosed injury, which means he’ll miss at least three weeks. With Jordan Akins looking like a potential breakout candidate and Darren Fells remaining a solid play at tight end as well, it’s looking more and more like Warring is not going to be the fantasy sleeper that some were expecting him

The San Francisco 49ers have signed wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, who last played for the New England Patriots. With Deebo Samuel (foot) on the injured reserve, this 49ers team was in need of wide receiver depth, and Sanu’s a solid addition. He’s played for head coach Kyle Shanahan before when both were with the Falcons, and a healthy Sanu should be able to contribute right

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) may miss several weeks, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The 27-year-old reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain during Week 1, and the injury is worse than initially anticipated. It is a huge blow for fantasy managers, as Thomas is one of the top offensive threats in football. His absence dampers Drew Brees‘ fantasy outlook for

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that he expects kicker Stephen Gostkowski to be better than he was in the 16-14 Monday night win over the Broncos, and the team still believes in him after he missed three field goals and an extra point in Week 1. Gostkowski’s reputation as one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history (86.8 percent success

The New York Jets signed running back Kalen Ballage on Tuesday with Le’Veon Bell (hamstring) going on the Injured Reserve. The Jets acquired Ballage from the Dolphins around three weeks ago, but he’ll officially be added to the club’s 53-man roster for some running back depth with Bell out for at least three weeks and rookie La’Mical Perine nursing an ankle injury. The 24-year-old had

The New York Jets placed running back Le’Veon Bell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source. Bell will be eligible to return in three weeks. The 28-year-old’s disappointing two-year run with Gang Green continues, but hopefully he’ll be able to return in three weeks as the team’s lead back. Veteran Frank Gore should share the backfield duties with Josh Adams moving forward,

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson feels disrespected by the team’s contract offers and doesn’t think they have reflected fair market value. As a result, the receiver has removed his social media of all references to the Bears. As of now, Robinson and his agent haven’t requested a trade. The 27-year-old signed a three-year deal with Chicago in 2018 and broke 1,100 receiving yards last

Despite claiming kicker Austin Seibert off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, the Cincinnati Bengals plan to stick with kicker Randy Bullock (calf) heading into Thursday night’s game against Cleveland. Seibert was waived by the Browns after he missed both of his kicks in the Week 1 loss to the Ravens. Bullock suffered a cramp in his left calf as he missed a potential game-tying

Denver Broncos cornerback A.J. Bouye (shoulder) suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Monday night loss to the Titans in Week 1, according to sources. The question is how much associated damage he suffered. The hope is that the injury isn’t that bad and he won’t miss much time. With the Steelers and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on the docket in Week 2, Bouye’s health is

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has ruled right tackle Zach Banner (knee) out for the Week 2 game against the Broncos, and he’s still undergoing tests for what is feared to be a season-ending torn ACL. Offensive guard Stefen Wisniewski’s (pectoral) status is more favorable, leaving him a chance to play against Denver. Rookie Kevin Dotson replaced Wisniewski in the fourth quarter on Monday

Las Vegas Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf), who left the Week 1 win over the Panthers early with a calf injury, is not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. Brown, the team’s starting right tackle, has a chance to play in Week 2 on Monday night against the Saints and their improved defense. If Brown suffers a setback in

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t ruling out running back James Conner (ankle) for Week 2 against the Broncos, with head coach Mike Tomlin saying the team will “leave the light on” for him. Conner’s sprained ankle will be evaluated further on Tuesday, and fantasy owners will need to keep a close eye on his progress this week. But the injury-prone 25-year-old will be a shaky RB3/flex

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said “we could be looking at a couple weeks” with running back Le’Veon Bell (hamstring) on the sideline after he was injured in the Week 1 loss to the Bills. The Jets are prepared to start the 37-year-old Frank Gore, the league’s third all-time leading rusher, in Week 2 against the 49ers. Gore is San Francisco’s all-time leading

The Detroit Lions are placing cornerback Justin Coleman (hamstring) on Injured Reserve because of a hamstring strain that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Bears on Sunday, according to a source. The hope is that he’s ready to return when he’s eligible in three weeks. Coleman had one pass defensed in the season-opening loss. The good news is he’ll be back this

The initial diagnosis for Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Zach Banner’s knee injury is a torn ACL, according to a source informed of the situation. Banner will undergo an MRI exam to verify the potential season-ending injury. He was injured late in the 26-16 win over the Giants on Monday night. Banner was the starting right tackle and was in his second season with the team.

The Cincinnati Bengals are claiming kicker Austin Seibert off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, according to sources. Randy Bullock‘s status is in question for Thursday night against Cleveland, so Seibert could wind up kicking against the team that just cut him in Week 2. Seibert missed a 41-yard field goal and an extra-point attempt in the Week 1 loss to the Ravens, so he

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is dealing with turf toe that the team hopes is “mild,” according to a source. His status will be in question for Week 2 against the Steelers, so keep a close eye on his practice participation this week leading up to the game. Lindsay had seven carries for 24 yards and caught his one target for 11 yards,

Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry ran for 116 yards on 31 carries while hauling in all three of his targets for 15 yards during Monday’s 16-14 win against the Broncos. The 2019 NFL rushing champion did not have his most efficient effort on the ground Monday night, grinding his way to 3.7 yards per carry on a massive workload. His pass-catching upside was
