Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
Last week we saw the first fallout from the league’s new concussion protocol. Of course, protecting these players is paramount, but it’s going to cause some issues in fantasy football. The Fantasy Football Injury Rundown will catch you up on the important injury news and notes that will impact lineups in Week 6. Here are the key fantasy-relevant injury situations we’ll be monitoring. Both for this week’s action and moving forward. Also, be sure to check out our Week 6 waiver wire and FAAB recommendations. Rashaad Penny (RB) Seattle Seahawks – The biggest injury blow to come out of Week 5 was to Seattle’s starting running back. Penny, who is no stranger to injuries, broke his right tibia and will require season-ending surgery. It was another brutal injury for Penny, who head to free agency after the season. With Penny gone, Kenneth Walker III will now act as the Seahawks’ feature back. Dak Prescott (QB) Dallas Cowboys – Although Prescott is getting closer, reports indicate he still can’t grip the ball well with his right thumb. The Cowboys have a critical NFC East showdown with Philadelphia this week. But that game is Sunday night, which doesn’t help with lineup decision time. Since Cooper Rush is 4-0 as the starter, expect Jerry Jones to err on the side of caution and keep Prescott out for at least one more week. Darren Waller (TE) Las Vegas Raiders – Waller exited Monday night after six snaps. When the Raiders emerged from halftime, Waller was in street clothes. Certainly, that is a worrisome development for a player that battled hamstring issues throughout the preseason. For now, be prepared to be without Waller for at least one week. Foster Moreau (knee) missed Week 5. Both will have an additional week to heal due to Las Vegas’s Week 6 bye. Damien Harris (RB) New England Patriots – Another hamstring injury will keep Harris out for multiple weeks. With Harris out, Rhamondre Steven#SZN is certainly here. Stevenson racked up 175 yards on 27 touches against Detroit. New England has a bye in Week 10 so Week 11 may be a realistic return date for Harris. Pierre Strong is a waiver wire target in deeper leagues. Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – It seems that the ankle injury that kept Higgins limited in practice was much worse than indicated. Higgins only participated in 10 snaps Monday and did not record a reception. If he is able to practice later this week that would be a good sign for Week 6. But for now, consider Higgins very questionable. Keenan Allen (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Just look to Allen for the potential impact of hamstring injuries. LA’s No. 1 receiver has now missed four games with a seemingly moderate hamstring ailment. Allen may actually return to practice this week, which would be very welcomed. We’ll update his status in the FullTime Discord channel. James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals – For the second game in a row, Conner was unable to play in the second half. This time, a rib injury kept Conner sidelined. Darrel Williams (knee) was also ruled out. The team doesn’t seem overly concerned about Conner, but fantasy managers may want to proactively add Eno Benjamin as a hedge. Rashod Bateman (WR) Baltimore Ravens – A foot injury kept Bateman out last week but all indications are that he should be good to go versus the Giants. We will have an update on Bateman’s status later this week. Isaiah McKenzie (WR) Buffalo Bills – McKenzie missed last week due to a concussion and is still in the protocol. He has all week to clear the tests. If he does, he should slide right back in as the club’s WR3. If McKenzie misses Week 6, Khalil Shakir would be an appealing waiver add. Julio Jones (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Bucs are taking a proactive approach with Jones’s knee. The aging veteran was close to playing last week but the club is cautiously hoping another week off will put Jones close to 100%. Chances are he will be activated this week. Dalton Schultz (TE) Dallas Cowboys – Apparently, Schultz re-injured his knee in Week 5, which explains his goose-egg performance. Schultz has really been struggling with Cooper Rush under center. It might be better for all if Schultz is held out this week until Dak Prescott returns. That’s about the only way he can salvage what looks like a lost 2022 season. Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders – A hamstring injury kept Dotson out last week. With the Commanders slated to play in short rest, there is next to zero shot Dotson plays. Expect Dyami Brown to fill in again. Tua Tagovailoa (QB) Miami Dolphins – Tagovailoa is still in the league’s concussion protocol. We fully expect him to miss at least one more start. Backup Teddy Bridgewater is also in the protocol but has already passed initial tests. Bridgewater is likely to start against the Vikings. Baker Mayfield (QB) Carolina Panthers – A high-ankle sprain will keep Mayfield sidelined for some time. P.J. Walker is slated to start this week. The Panthers also dismissed Matt Rhule. Don’t be surprised if Sam Darnold also earns some starts at some point. This is a situation to avoid, altogether. Logan Thomas (TE) Washington Commanders – Thomas sat out Week 5 with a calf injury. He also sat out practice Monday, which is a troubling sign for his Week 6 availability. Washington plays Chicago on Thursday, so Thomas is looking very questionable for Week 6. Robbie Gould (PK) San Francisco 49ers – 39-year-old kicker Robbie Gould hurt his knee making a tackle in San Francisco’s victory in Carolina. He was unable to kick the remainder of the game and the club will be bringing in the rotating group of veteran replacements this week. We’d start looking for other options. Ashton Dulin (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Dulin will miss a minimum of four weeks. He was placed on IR with a foot injury. Deonte Harty (WR) New Orleans Saints – Harty suffered a severe turf toe injury and is likely to miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
In a season that feels marred by injuries, Week 4 might have been the worst slate yet. We’re only one-quarter of the way through 2022 but it feels like every team has been majorly impacted. The Fantasy Football Injury Rundown keeps you up-to-date on all the fantasy-relevant injuries. It is also important to know how to overcome roster adversity. Attacking the Week 5 waiver wire is a good place to start the recovery process. Here is the fantasy football injury rundown ahead of Week 5. Barring something unforseen, expect to see D’Andre Swift & Alvin Kamara suit up this weekend. Javonte Williams (RB) Denver Broncos – The most devastating injury from Week 4 was Williams tearing his ACL. The sophomore running back’s 2022 season is over but there is some concern for his future. In addition to the ACL, Williams also tore his LCL and posterior lateral corner. These are three significant knee injuries that all occurred at once and will complicate his recovery. Our thoughts are with Williams and the long road ahead. Dak Prescott (QB) Dallas Cowboys – There was some speculation that Prescott could return in Week 5. But owner Jerry Jones indicated Prescott is still having issues gripping the ball. The Cowboys are also 3-0 with Cooper Rush under center, so they can afford to let Prescott rest another week. Expect Rush to nab the start against the Rams. Tua Tagovailoa (QB) Miami Dolphins – By now you’ve undoubtedly read about the Tua fiasco. It looked like Tagovailoa was concussed in Week 3 but was back out there on short rest. Then, a scarier head injury occurred on Thursday resulting in the quarterback being sent to the hospital. There are varying accounts of how Tua was allowed to re-enter Week 3 and suit up again four days later. Tua has already been ruled out for Week 5 and could be out longer. Teddy Bridgewater will be under center for the time being. Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – The original diagnosis for Taylor was the dreaded high-ankle sprain. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. Taylor’s Week 5 availability is uncertain but he hasn’t participated in any practices. With the Colts due up for a Thursday game, things aren’t looking good. Even if he’s active, Taylor would likely be extremely limited against a Broncos defense that allows the ninth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR) Detroit Lions – St. Brown missed practice all week and was held out of Week 4. St. Brown is tentatively expected to return to practice ahead of this week’s trip to New England. We’ll have updated in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Ditto for D.J. Chark who was also a surprise scratch last Sunday. Cordarrelle Patterson (RB) Atlanta Falcons – Patterson tried to play through a knee injury, even scoring on nine carries but never returned. He was placed on IR Monday. That means he’ll be out a minimum of four games. Atlanta will surge ahead with Tyler Allgier and Caleb Huntley, who split snaps and touches evenly on Sunday. Russell Wilson (QB) Denver Broncos – Wilson was limited in practice with shoulder fatigue. The Broncos are on a short week hosting the Colts on Thursday. It is almost certainly just the club being cautious in a limited week. Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – Jones sprained his ankle in New York’s 20-12 victory over Chicago. Jones actually had to come back into the game after Tyrod Taylor exited with a concussion. It is not known if Jones will be available in Week 5 but the club brought in Jake Fromm and A.J. McCarron for workouts. We’ll update Jones’s status later when word breaks. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – A turf toe injury could sideline rookie WR Treylon Burks for 2-4 weeks. For now, surgery isn’t needed but expect to be without Burks for multiple starts. Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders – Ron Rivera said Jahan Dotson could miss 1-2 weeks with a hamstring injury. The injury itself didn’t seem too serious but hamstring ailments are notorious for reoccurring when not given proper time to fully heal. For now, plan on not having Dotson for Week 5, at least. Brian Robinson (RB) Washington Commanders – Robison is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 5. The rookie missed the first month of the season after being shot in the leg. His arrival would be just in time too. Antonio Gibson‘s snap share has been trending down. Robinson attracted a lot of hype this summer so we should see if he can live up to that quickly. Brian Hoyer (QB) New England Patriots – Already missing Mac Jones, the Patriots quickly had to get Bailey Zappe into NFL action after Hoyer was concussed early. All signs point toward Zappe making his first NFL start Sunday against the Lions. Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – Hill hurt his hamstring and is expected to miss a game or two. Baltimore also activated Gus Edwards from the PUP list. That makes Edwards eligible to participate in practice this week. Expect the Ravens to have Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake active this week. Cameron Brate (TE) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Brate got hit by his teammate but returned to the field before being pulled and ruled out with a concussion. He will have to clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can return to action. Jamison Crowder (WR) New York Jets – A broken ankle with sideline Crowder for an extended period of time. The injury could be season-ending, so there is little reason to hold onto Crowder except in the deepest of dynasty leagues. Jerome Ford (KR) Cleveland Browns – Ford was placed on season-ending IR with an ankle injury. Matt Prater (PK) Arizona Cardinals – Prater was questionable all week but managed to play before a hip injury caused him to exit in the third quarter. The signing of Matt Amendola all but assures that Prater will be inactive in Week 5. ENTER OUR WEEK 5 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: Draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
We learned quite a bit in Week 3. It is starting to feel like players are who they are at this point. Naturally, there were plenty of injuries last week and our Fantasy Football Injury Rundown breaks down the fantasy impact. Before you finalize your waiver wire claims for Week 4, it’s crucial to know the latest injury info and how it will impact Week 4 and beyond. Here is the Fantasy Football Injury Rundown for Week 4 and how fantasy managers should approach it for this week and moving forward. This list will be updated as injury news rolls in all week. Mac Jones (QB) New England Patriots – Bill Belichick isn’t known for being forthright about injuries. For now, Jones is not going on IR but he should be expected to miss multiple weeks with a “severe” high-ankle sprain. The injury occurred on the final play of the game. Jones had his ankle rolled on and had to be immediately helped off the field. This is normally a 4-6 week injury, so be prepared to pick up Brian Hoyer if you’re in a bad way in a Superflex league. The loss of Jones is a pretty significant blow to all New England fantasy options. David Montgomery (RB) Chicago Bears – Khalil Herbert was the RB1 in Week 3 but that was supposed to be Montgomery’s breakout game. Unfortunately, Montgomery had his knee rolled up on and was quickly ruled out. There is still no definitive word on his diagnosis but upon initial view, it looked like a potential MCL injury. If that, or a PCL is the culprit, Montgomery could miss 4-6 weeks. We’ll have updates when they drop but expect a multiple-game absence. Dalvin Cook (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Another prominent RB1 was injured last week. Cook hurt his oft-injured shoulder running into his own lineman and was unable to return to action. X-rays were negative and Cook is listed as day-to-day. With Alexander Mattison fully capable of stepping in, it might be wise for the Vikings to let Cook rest for a week. For now, all we can do is monitor Cook’s practice status all week. He’s truly questionable to face the Saints. D’Andre Swift (RB) Detroit Lions – Swift is expected to be out until Week 7 with a shoulder injury. Dan Campbell said Swift would likely be held out two games and into Detroit’s Week 6 bye. Swift flashed top-5 upside in the first two games of the season so his absence will hurt. The good news is he should be fully healthy in time for the stretch drive. Jamaal Williams can now be penciled in as a strong RB2 for at least two games. Tua Tagovailoa (QB) Miami Dolphins – Anyone who watched Sunday has a hard time believing that Miami’s star quarterback wasn’t concussed. Tagovaila was wobbly after a hit but returned to the game. His productivity dropped off in the second half and the league is so concerned with how the injury was handled that they’re addressing how in-game concussions are handled. For Week 4, Tagovailoa is listed as questionable with a back injury. With Miami slated to play on Thursday, this is more concerning. We’ll have updates in the FullTime Discord. Keenan Allen (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Allen sat out Week 3 with a hamstring injury but is tentatively expected to practice this week. If Allen is able to practice in full, he should return to a Chargers’ lineup that desperately needs him. Justin Herbert (QB) Los Angeles Chargers – Kudos to Herbert for playing through his rib injury last week but the results weren’t good. LA got pounded at home by the Jaguars. Even with the game out of hand, Herbert remained in, taking shots. He should continue to get healthier each day and a revenge game in Houston offers a wonderful opportunity to rebound in Week 4. Michael Thomas (WR) New Orleans Saints – Thomas hurt his toe in Week 3 but the injury isn’t considered serious. Thankfully, the injury was not on the same ankle that caused Thomas to miss the entire 2021 campaign. He might miss a practice or two but should be able to suit up versus the Vikings. Sterling Shepard (WR) New York Giants – In a freak accident on the final play, Shepard crumpled to the turf with a non-contact right knee injury. He was quickly loaded onto a cart and surrounded by players from both teams. An MRI Tuesday confirmed that Shepard tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2022 season. Zach Wilson (QB) New York Jets – Out since the preseason, Wilson is projected to return as early as this week from a meniscus injury. As much as Joe Flacco has been slinging it, Wilson’s return is probably a downgrade for all Jets’ pass-catchers. Especially Tyler Conklin, who is tied for third among all tight ends with 24 targets. Elijah Moore and Wilson flashed chemistry down the stretch, so hoping that carries over. If Wilson suits up in Week 4, he’ll be welcomed by the Steelers. Kadarius Toney (WR) New York Giants – Toney is still dealing with an injured hamstring that kept him sidelined last week. Brian Daboll indicated Toney could return this week, just in time for Shepard’s time-leading target share to open up. Rookie Wan’Dale Robinson is also improving. Robinson hurt his knee in Week 1 and has missed two games. Consider both questionable to play against the Bears this week. Julio Jones (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jones missed two games with a knee injury but is expected to return against Kansas City this week. Due to Hurricane Ian, it is possible that the Buccaneers will be forced to play their “home” game elsewhere. If he’s in the lineup, Jones should be a good bet for a healthy target load. But, there’s a lot to account for here, so proceed with caution. Dalton Schultz (TE) Dallas Cowboys – Schultz tried to suit up on Monday but was ultimately ruled out with a knee injury. The fact that he was close to playing bodes

Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
Along with wild come-from-behind wins, Week 2 also had a number of significant injuries. The FullTime Fantasy Football Injury Rundown will update you on the severity and fallout. Before you finalize your waiver wire claims for Week 3, it’s crucial to know the latest injury info. Here is the Fantasy Football Injury Rundown for Week 3 and how fantasy managers should approach it for this week and moving forward. This list will be updated as injury news rolls in all week. Trey Lance (QB) San Francisco 49ers – Lance was a popular breakout candidate this preseason bases on his massive upside. Unfortunately, the bust part of boom/bust is applicable here as Lance’s season is over after a massive ankle injury. He’s already had surgery and the Niners will march forward with Jimmy Garoppolo. Lance drafters will likely have to surge ahead with a streaming approach. But Garoppolo, Carson Wentz, or Jared Goff make respectable replacements. James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals – An ankle injury caused Conner to exit early and he did not return. Early indications are that the injury isn’t serious but his inability to come back into a game that Arizona trailed is concerning. His Week 3 practice participation will be key. If Friday rolls around and Conner hasn’t practiced, it’s a good bet he’ll miss the game. Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin split snaps evenly after Conner departed. Jerry Jeudy (WR) Denver Broncos – Jeudy hurt his rubs in the first quarter and did not return. He’s being listed as day-to-day. If Jeudy is forced to miss a game or two, Courtland Sutton would offer WR1 upside. Now if we can just do something at quarterback. Michael Pittman (WR) Indianapolis Colts – The Colts must’ve had a rough practice week. It cost them their top two wideouts and did not result in a win. Pittman hurt his quad but is considered day-to-day. He’s got a solid chance of suiting up this week and the club desperately needs his presence. Damien Harris (RB) New England Patriots – After getting hit in the knee, Harris limped off the field and did not return. In true Patriots fashion, he told the media he was “fine” after the game. We don’t expect the team to exactly be upfront about the true details of Harris’s knee. We’ll have to monitor his practice participation all week. If he’s ruled out, it would be a boon for Rhamondre Stevenson, who actually played more snaps than Harris in Week 3. Michael Gallup (WR) Dallas Cowboys – There is a chance that Michael Gallup (ACL) returns in Week 3. We would advise caution here but if Gallup is cleared to start, he would immediately be the Cowboys’ No. 2 option. A healthy Gallup is a solid weekly WR3/4. Gabriel Davis (WR) Buffalo Bills – A surprise inactive on Monday, Davis injured his ankle during Saturday’s practice. He was ruled out of Buffalo’s trouncing of Tennessee but there have been no updates on the injury itself. We’ll keep an eye on his status for Week 3 and update the FullTime Discord. Dalton Schultz (TE) Dallas Cowboys – Dr. Jerry Jones implied that Schultz might only miss one week but shouldn’t be absent long. This is good news, as Schultz appeared to suffer a major knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ upset over Cincinnati. Fantasy managers should be prepared to stream a tight end for a week or two but shouldn’t be shocked if Shultz is slow to recover. Julio Jones (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jones was listed as a game-time decision but was ultimately ruled out of Week 2. The aging, oft-injured wideout is dealing with a knee injury and is questionable for Week 3. The Bucs could desperately use him in the lineup. Our early guess is he will be able to play against the Packers. Hunter Renfrow (WR) Las Vegas Raiders – On what turned out to be the final play of the game, Renfrow took a hard hit to the shoulder from Isaiah Simmons. The hit was bad enough to put Renfrow in the league’s concussion protocol. Devin Duvernay (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Ravens’ wideout Devin Duvernay is also in the league’s concussion protocol after exiting in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ loss to Miami. Duvernay returned the opening kick for a score. Other than that, he wasn’t involved much, snagging both of his targets for 42 yards. Tyrion Davis-Price (RB) San Francisco 49ers – After rushing 14 times for just 33 yards in Week 2, Davis-Price exited with an ankle injury. Word dropped Monday that TDP suffered the dreaded high-ankle sprain and will miss multiple weeks. There is no reason to keep the rookie rostered except in dynasty leagues. Jordan Mason is next up in the Niners backfield. Tyler Kroft (TE) San Francisco 49ers – Kroft injured his MCL and will be sidelined for a month or more. With George Kittle nearing a return, there is no reason to hold onto Kroft in any format. ENTER OUR WEEK 3 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: Draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 1
As a general rule, you stick with your studs. Especially in Week 1, where we have to evaluate matchups differently. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 1 looks at some players to target and others to avoid in an always unpredictable opening week. Let’s take a look at some under-the-radar starts and less obvious sits in our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. Quarterbacks Start ‘Em Trey Lance (San Francisco 49ers) – Lance was drafted as a borderline QB1 but this is the kind of game you take that reward part of risk/reward. Looking at our Week 1 projections, Lance is projected to go off versus a fading Bears defense. Additionally, it remains to be seen if Chicago can mount any kind of offense at all. If the Bears struggle to move the ball, the 49ers will get a ton of opportunities to challenge a secondary that allowed 36 total scores to QBs last season. Matt Ryan (Indianapolis Colts) – Ryan was drafted as a starter and the Colts are sure to test Houston’s weak run defense. But that will set up play-action opportunities against an inexperienced Texans secondary that surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2021. Look for Ryan to be a sneaky pick to deliver QB1 numbers in Indy’s season opener. Running Backs Start ‘Em Antonio Gibson (Washington Commanders) – Much-maligned this summer, Gibson should get the majority of touches against a suspect Jaguars run defense this Sunday. With Brian Robinson sidelined, Gibson looks like a good bet to approach 20 touches. He’ll be in a good position to post top-15 fantasy numbers. Nyheim Hines (RB) Indianapolis Colts – Last week, an ESPN report opined that Hines will be in a good position to post a career-high in receptions. And that makes sense with the Colts breaking in two new wideouts and a new starting tight end. Hines also gets a juicy matchup against a porous Texans defense that allowed an NFL-worst 2,067 rushing yards to enemy running backs in 2021. Wide Receivers Start ‘Em Elijah Moore (New York Jets) – While targeting Baltimore’s secondary isn’t normally advised, there’s a good chance Moore goes off this week. Moore is clearly New York’s No. 1 wideout and has built up an excellent rapport with QB Joe Flacco. The Ravens struggled to stop the pass last season due to injuries but our projections think Moore can still exploit this matchup and deliver a huge opening week performance. Julio Jones (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – The Buccaneers have the fourth-highest implied total in Week 1, and it’s a prime-time Sunday night matchup with Tom Brady. Chris Godwin is still recovering from a severe knee injury and Russell Gage missed a couple of weeks with an injured hamstring. Jones could very well command 8-plus targets in his Tampa debut. A.J. Green (Arizona Cardinals) – This is a bit of a flier because Green is likely available on your waiver wire. Arizona hosts the Chiefs this week in a game that has the highest over/under in the entire slate. With Deandre Hopkins suspended, Rondale Moore out, and Zach Ertz looking very iffy, Green could be in for a surprising target share on Sunday. Tight Ends Sit ‘Em David Njoku (Cleveland Browns) – Cleveland’s offense isn’t a unit to target with Jacoby Brissett under center. However, Brissett’s lack of downfield ability should lead to a ton of opportunities for Njoku underneath. The Browns are implied to score 21 in Week 1. If they come close to approaching three TDs, we like Njoku’s odds of getting one. Quarterbacks Sit ‘Em Mac Jones (New England Patriots) – New England’s offense looked like a potential disaster this preseason. Worse, we still don’t know who is legitimately calling plays or in charge of the offense. Miami also was solid against quarterbacks last season, allowing the seventh-fewest points to the position. In his two starts against the Dolphins, Jones averaged 271 passing yards but only threw a single score in each game. Jones is nothing more than a mediocre QB2 in Superflex formats until we see some signs of life from the Patriots O. Running Backs Sit ‘Em Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – Pierce became one of the hottest fantasy commodities in the league after a blistering preseason. However, his first taste of the regular season could be rough. Houston is the biggest home dog of Week 1 and hosts a Colts defense that ranked third against fantasy running backs last season. While the Colts will be missing Shaquille Leonard, it remains to be seen if Houston can keep this game close enough to continue to feature the run. Also, Rex Burkhead could be Houston’s primary pass-catching back. Pierce doesn’t rank very highly in our projections and could well be one of Week 1’s biggest trap plays. Nick Chubb (Cleveland Browns) – Carolins was surprisingly effective against running backs in 2021. The Panthers allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing rushers and allowed the third-fewest overall yards per play. The ‘revenge game’ narrative for QB Baker Mayfield could also factor in if the Panthers get out to a sizable lead and force the Browns to try to pass the ball with Jacoby Brissett. Chubb also doesn’t catch a ton of passes, so his upside is rather muted. He’s more of a middling RB2 than a locked-in starter. Wide Receivers Sit ‘Em Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) – Another rookie who could struggle in his first pro outing, London is set to be paired off with elite New Orleans CB Marshon Lattimore. London has also been hampered by a knee injury that could further limit his upside. Fantasy managers would be advised to look for safe options rather than forcing London into a WR2 slot because of his draft status. Amari Cooper (Cleveland Browns) – Clearly we’re avoiding the Browns this week. There are just too many questions for this team to open the season. Cooper is clearly Cleveland’s No. 1 wideout but there are
