It’s time to play fantasy football! Walk outside, crack a window, and smell the fresh, crisp breeze of fall coming.
Yes, that time of year has finally returned.
With fantasy football comes a weekly lineup change, and we will make a weekly injury list to help you all prepare to win your league. Let’s start.
All stats used will be based on a half-ppr scale, according to Fantasy Pros.
Despite his best efforts, Ravens' back J.K. Dobbins remains unlikely to play and even less likely to be effective in Week 1 a little over a year since suffering multiple torn ligaments in his left knee.
Even without backup Gus Edwards for the first four weeks, the dynamic third-year back will likely be inefficient this season while regaining strength in his knee and his change-of-direction ability.
Veteran additions Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake figure to combine on the majority of productive non-Jackson carries against the Jets.
The Jaguars will have Travis Etienne Jr. for the first time on Sunday but are unlikely to have an effective James Robinson as he rehabs his late-December Achilles tendon rupture, according to the Docs, and he may not even suit up.
The surprising third-year back was recently activated from the PUP and has been a full-go at practice this week but is likely to be on a snap count, Doug Pederson said.
Achilles injuries are difficult for running backs to fully return from, especially in under a year, as we have seen with Cam Akers since his rupture last offseason.
After breaking on the scene in the 2018 season, George Kittle has had many injuries.
He’s been a risky draft in almost every fantasy league, being picked in the top-50.
His ceiling is the TE1, but his floor could cause him to miss many games.
This week Kittle injured his groin and is unlikely to play in the team’s season opener. But, there is still hope he can tough it out and play.
“I don’t know yet,” 49ers' Head coach Kyle Shanahan said via 49ersWebzone.com.
“I’m really hoping it will be all right. I’m trying to think positively on it. He didn’t end up getting to go yesterday . . . but they’ll hit him hard [today]. They’ll do it all morning, and hopefully, he’ll be able to get out there and do some red zone work today.”
The defending No. 1 NFC seed Packers are going through a complete rebrand of their wide receiver corps, but a remaining mainstay is 26-year-old Allen Lazard.
After being ruled doubtful for Sunday's contest with his ankle injury, the Pro Football Docs are confident that he'll be sidelined Week 1.
The injury has kept Lazard out of practice this week after getting “stepped on,” head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters.
Green Bay traded superstar receiver Davante Adams to the Oakland Raiders this offseason and lost No. 2 receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his absence, veteran addition Sammy Watkins could step into a larger role.
Watkins has averaged 9.33 targets for 6.67 receptions, 125.3 yards and four total touchdowns in the last three opening games with the Chiefs and Ravens.
In a late season game against the rival Saints, pro-bowl wide receiver Chris Godwin tore his ACL.
He’s looking to make his return in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night football.
The Pro Football Docs are not optimistic about his chances of starting Week 1 on the active roster. If he is activated, look for him to have a minimal role.
The injury sent shockwaves through the NFL as Godwin and the Buccaneers were reigning Superbowl champions.
The team without Godwin lost in the divisional round.
Rookie second-round running back Ken Walker III missed Seahawks' practice all week and is highly unlikely to play against the Broncos on Monday night.
Walker III underwent hernia surgery three weeks ago and could still land on the four-game IR or miss multiple games, according to the Docs.
