Keenan Allen

CHI Wide Receiver #13

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Bears coach Matt Eberflus “expects” Keenan Allen (heel, questionable) to play against the Titans on Sunday.

This has been a strange one, as there was zero indication heading into Week 1 that Allen’s season-ending heel injury from 2023 was still an issue. He got in three limited practices before being slapped with his questionable tag. It’s pretty clear Allen is going to suit up for his Bears debut, but we suppose the question now is how many snaps he can handle and targets he can command. For what it’s worth, Allen’s camp reports were positive after his weight imbroglio.
Russell Wilson

PIT Quarterback #3

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Russell Wilson (calf, questionable) has “told the team that he can play” Sunday, but that the team doctors are “being more cautious.”

Aka, Wilson senses his job could already be on the line and wants to play through it, but the Steelers understandably don’t want to start a sack-taking machine if he can’t even move properly. Russ is an all-time lobbyist, but every sign continues to point toward Justin Fields getting the call vs. the Falcons.
DJ Chark

LAC Wide Receiver #9

Chargers placed WR DJ Chark (hip) on injured reserve.

Chark will now miss the first four weeks of the regular season, at minimum, after sustaining a hip injury sometime in the week leading up to the team’s first game. Expect the bulk of the pass offense to flow through Joshua Palmer and rookie Ladd McConkey to start the season.
DeAndre Hopkins

TEN Wide Receiver #10

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (questionable, knee) will play in Week 1 against the Bears.

Hopkins told reporters earlier in the week that he is dealing with a torn MCL and is attempting to play through it, with his ultimate snap rate likely coming down to pain management. Hopkins returned to limited practices this week after sitting out three weeks with an injury initially disclosed as a knee sprain. The fact that he tore his MCL does not instill confidence for the veteran pass-catcher to start the season, forcing fantasy managers to look for additional options if they are available.
Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

49ers listed RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Jets.

McCaffrey was limited in practice throughout the week but reportedly avoided any setbacks from his strained calf. While it doesn’t appear he is any danger of missing Monday Night Football’s game against the Jets, fantasy managers would be wise to expect a slight dip in volume after McCaffrey sat out the final two weeks of preseason and was limited all week leading up to the game. That could mean additional snaps and opportunities for Jordan Mason with Elijah Mitchell done for the season.
Ja'Marr Chase

CIN Wide Receiver #1

Bengals added ‘illness’ to WR Ja’Marr Chase’s questionable designation for Week 1.

Chase was already listed as questionable due to his offseason hold-in as he sought a new contract, with an update placed on that designation today that added an illness. It certainly appears as if Chase is legitimately questionable for the team’s Week 1 contest against the Patriots. Head coach Zac Taylor has already stated that the alpha wide receiver would be limited even if he suited up, which could place the team in uncomfortable territory considering Tee Higgins is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury that popped up on Thursday. Slot wide receiver Andre Iosivas is unlikely to see his role grow in the absence of the top two wide receivers, but he could see an increase to targets per route run.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Packers QB Jordan Love suffered an MCL sprain in Friday’s Week 1 game against the Eagles.

Love went down awkwardly with just five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter in Friday’s loss to the Eagles, staying down on the field for a while before being helped off the field by trainers. Love appeared to be in excruciating pain prior to limping to the sideline. Initial testing ruled out an ACL tear while follow-on testing revealed a sprained MCL. Packers nation can breathe a collective sigh of relief after what looked to be a devastating injury. Love will likely require significant time to rehab the sprain but it is not thought to be a season-ending injury. Further word on the expected rehab timeline should be passed by the team in the coming days.
Marcus Mariota

WAS Quarterback #18

Commanders placed QB Marcus Mariota (pectoral) on injured reserve.

The team elevated quarterback Sam Hartman from the practice squad in an associated move, who is likely to serve as the emergency quarterback behind starter Jayden Daniels and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel. Mariota began the offseason in a competition with the first-round rookie before injuring his pectoral, prompting the move to injured reserve. Even so, the 30-year-old journeyman was a long shot to earn the starting job over the promising rookie.
Russell Wilson

PIT Quarterback #3

Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) traveled with the team to Atlanta for their Week 1 game.

Justin Fields is still expected to draw the start against the Falcons but the team can now take the decision down to the wire with the release of inactives an hour and a half prior to kickoff. Kyle Allen should serve as the backup to Fields for as long as Wilson remains out.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Initial tests indicated Jordan Love’s ACL is intact, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Pelissero notes that there’s still a wide range of outcomes based on additional scans, which Love will have done once the team returns from Brazil Saturday afternoon. Love isn’t completely in the clear just yet and more will be known after he receives an MRI, but the fact that initial tests show his ACL intact is a positive. Diana Russini of the Athletic previously ruled out an ankle injury for Love in a report on Twitter. Love was removed from the Packers’ 34-29 loss against the Eagles in the fourth quarter after he took a low hit and suffered a lower body injury. Malik Willis and Sean Clifford are the potential in-house replacements at quarterback for Green Bay.
