Robinson will turn 31 before the start of the season and is coming off a disappointing 2023 in which he totaled 34-280-0 while averaging a paltry 8.2 YPR. His underwhelming line wasn’t from lack of playing time, as Robinson ran 400 routes — second only to George Pickens, but averaged a mere 0.118 TPRR. He’s joining a bad receiver room, but it’s hard to imagine Robinson earning a significant role at this stage in his career.

Samuel picked up a calf strain at some point in the 49ers’ Week 2 loss to the Vikings and is expected to miss time. It’s a massive blow to a team already without Christian McCaffrey due to Samuel’s increased rushing workload and schemed usage through the air in the absence of the All-Pro running back. George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jordan Mason will be asked to step up in their collective absence, while Jauan Jennings is likely to see a slight uptick in offensive snaps.

Landman had been rehabbing a quad injury that has plagued him for the previous month and the team recently added a calf injury to his designation. He will now miss the next four games, at minimum. The Falcons signed DB Kevin King in a corresponding move Monday.

It sounds like Jackson is going to end up on injured reserve, which would sideline him until at least Week 8. The Rams’ left guard missed most of training camp with a shoulder issue. It’s a brutal, brutal blow for an already decimated and under-performing Rams offensive line. It’s frankly looking like a lost season in Los Angeles.

It was the expected development after Kupp departed in the second quarter against the Cardinals Sunday. It’s at least his fourth ankle issue since 2022, and just the latest injury to keep him off the field since his historic 2021. We would definitely plan on Kupp landing on injured reserve later in the week, which would mean the earliest he could return would be Week 8 against the Vikings. Things are falling apart fast for the Rams. With Puka Nacua already on I.R., the Rams’ top pass catchers are now DeMarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson and TE Colby Parkinson. Robinson is the only one we would be “counting on” right now, and that’s as a WR4 in this injury-ravaged offense.

Johnson will be placed on injured reserve after suffering the injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. The safety was re-signed by the Rams over the summer, and was starting at free safety prior to the injury. Kamren Kinchens — the Rams third-round pick of 2024 — will likely see the reps there with Johnson out.

The Giants are going to be without Graham Gano for a few weeks, so the team needs a short-term fill-in. Bullock served as a replacement for the Giants last year, so it would seem he would have a leg up — pun kind of intended — for the gig.

Lloyd said that he was day-to-day with the injury. The 23-year-old rushed six time for 15 yards and brought in one catch for three yards in his NFL debut, but he looked better than that line indicates. Whether Lloyd is able to go will hinge on his ability to return to practice, but even if he goes, Josh Jacobs is the bellcow of this offense.

LaFleur also cautioned that ideal and prerequisite are not the same thing. Even with multiple reports suggesting that Love won’t be able to play until Week 5 with his MCL injury, the Packers continue to suggest that this is a week-to-week injury. Assuming Love doesn’t get cleared for that game against Tennessee, Malik Willis will be back under center for Green Bay against the Titans.

Campbell is a notable elevation with AJ Brown sidelined for Monday Night’s game against the Falcons. The wideout could see some targets with Brown unavailable, but there still isn’t much fantasy upside in the former second-round pick’s profile.

Hendershot was acquired for a conditional 2026 seventh-round selection late in August from the Cowboys. Those conditions are unlikely to be met, as the Chiefs played Hendershot in just one game. He could be of interest to teams looking for some depth in the tight end room.
