Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) has been activated from IR, clearing the way for him to return against Cleveland. (Source: Baltimore Ravens on X)

Fantasy Impact: Lane has been out since fracturing his wrist in Week 1, so it will be interesting to see what his snap counts and route shares look like after the IR stint. The team praised him all offseason and focused on him during his brief playing time in Week 1, so hopefully he will be able to find himself a decent role as the WR2 of the offense.

Caleb Williams (hamstring) is the starter for the Bears on Sunday against the Falcons. After a few weeks' absence, the franchise QB is back. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: Williams was initially questionable to play, but the Bears are now planning on getting him back in the lineup after a week of practice where he took starter reps. It will be interesting to see Caleb in a more "regular" game and how it affects the pass catchers, who have only played with Caleb in one normal game, and even that "normal" game saw copious amounts of production from the running backs.

Jalen Hurts (blood clot) has been placed on IR due to a blood clot. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: At first the Eagles were not going to place him on IR, but after further consultations, they have decided to make that move. Tanner McKee will start in his place for at least the next four games, with Carolina on tap tomorrow. All the pass catchers will likely see a downtick in production, but should still be usable if McKee is halfway decent.
