Fantasy Impact: Newsome has been limited by a rib injury at practice earlier this week, but he was a full go Saturday and carries no injury designation for Monday's matchup with the Rams.

Zay Flowers (hamstring) has been downgraded to out against the New Orleans Saints. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: With Flowers out, Mark Andrews will become the primary target for Lamar Jackson. Rashod Bateman will be the Ravens top receiver on the depth chart, but it would be extremely hard to start him, given the amount of routes he run for just one target last week. Rookie Elijah Sarratt could be an interesting watch if called up, but it’s best to start Andrews and move on.

Eddy Pineiro (illness) will kick for the 49ers in Week 2's matchup with the Dolphins. (Source: Matt Maiocco on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pineiro has missed practice all week due to being under the weather, but the veteran kicker will be ready to go Sunday. Pineiro hit 2-of-3 field goals and all three of his PATs in Week 1.

Lewis Bond has been elevated to the Texans' roster for Sunday's game against the Bengals. (Source: James Palmer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A sixth-round pick for the Texans in this year's draft, Bond is set to make his NFL debut when he steps on the field Sunday. The Texans are lacking some depth at wide receiver right now, with go-to guy Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out.

Javon Hargrave (knee, concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hargrave will not be available for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, as he is dealing with multiple issues. Jonathan Ford and Chris McClellan will likely see more snaps on defense.

Lukas Van Ness (concussion) is expected to be on the field Sunday. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Van Ness has cleared the concussion protocol and should be in action against the Jets in Week 2. The fourth-year pro recorded four tackles and a sack against the Vikings in Week 1.

Carlton Davis III (neck) will not be available for Week 2's matchup against the Steelers. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Davis did not practice this week due to a neck issue. The veteran corner will take a seat on Sunday, as Charles Woods will likely step into more snaps on defense. Davis will try to be back for Week 3.

Puka Nacua (hip) did not practice on Saturday and is now labeled questionable for Monday night against the Giants. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: Nacua has now missed two practices in a row with a hip issue, and that does not bode well for his status on game day. Fantasy managers will need to have contingency plans ready in case he sits. Davante Adams is next up for targets, but Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson could see more looks. Konata Mumpfield is likely next up behind Puka with Jordan Whittington also questionable.

Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Week 2 for the Pittsburgh Steelers according to Mike Garafolo. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Pittman Jr. will be sidelined after struggling to reach the practice field for head coach Mike McCarthy, with Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard in line for increased roles behind No. 1 wideout DK Metcalf against the Patriots Sunday.

Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for at least four weeks. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Jets are placing their first-round rookie on injured reserve after he suffered an ankle injury in his NFL debut last week. He is going to miss at least four weeks as a result, but he's not expected to be out much beyond that. Adonai Mitchell and Kenyon Sadiq will both see increased opportunities in his absence for the next few weeks at least.

Kene Nwangwu (back) won't play in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. (Source: New York Jets)

Fantasy Impact: Nwangwu missed New York's season opener last week due to injury, and he is now set to miss another game on Sunday due to a back issue that he's dealing with. His absence won't have much of an impact on New York's offense, as he is relegated to more of a special teams role for the Jets.

Will McDonald IV (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. (Source: New York Jets)

Fantasy Impact: McDonald will officially carry a questionable tag for Sunday's game after suffering a minor ankle injury during the week. It looks like he will be cleared to play in time, however, as HC Aaron Glenn told reporters that the veteran edge rusher should be available to play against the Packers.

Troy Franklin (knee) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. (Source: Denver Broncos on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Franklin found himself on the injury report earlier in the week due to a knee issue, but he was able to practice in full all week and will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He isn't expected to be fantasy relevant for the foreseeable future, however.

Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. (Source: Denver Broncos)

Fantasy Impact: Mims is going to be sidelined in Week 2 after recently suffering a foot injury of some kind. He wasn't very involved on Denver's offense in the season opener, so his absence isn't expected to make much of an impact from a fantasy perspective.

RJ Harvey (hamstring) is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. (Source: Denver Broncos on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harvey will go into the weekend with a questionable tag after missing practice earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury. It looks like he's trending towards playing on Sunday, but if he's ruled out ahead of game time, fantasy managers should expect rookie Jonah Coleman to see increased opportunities against Jacksonville in his absence.

Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Denver Broncos)

Fantasy Impact: Thomas suffered a shoulder injury during the team's season opener last week, but he was able to practice all week and won't miss any time because of it. He has been cleared to play on Sunday and should continue to contribute in his usual capacity for the Jaguars for the foreseeable future.

Cole Van Lanen (knee) is off of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Denver Broncos)

Fantasy Impact: Van Lanen's knee injury is nothing more than a minor issue at this point and won't stop him from playing on Sunday. Jacksonville's offensive line should be at full strength in Week 2, which is good news ahead of a tough matchup against Denver's stout defensive front.

Foyesade Oluokun (wrist) will play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Denver Broncos)

Fantasy Impact: Jacksonville has cleared Oluokun to play in their matchup against Denver on Sunday. That's good news for the team, as he is one of their key defenders and will be needed in what projects to be a close matchup in Week 2.

LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip) is set to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Denver Broncos on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Allen has received full clearance and will again be available to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to get much work behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. in this matchup, however.

Jakobi Meyers (wrist) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Denver Broncos)

Fantasy Impact: Meyers was on the injury report all week due to a lingering wrist issue, but he is going to be good to go and will play in Sunday's game against the Broncos. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust in his week-to-week consistency at this point in the season, however, especially in what projects to be a tough matchup.
