Yahoo Sports reports that 49ers TE George Kittle is set to play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Kittle had been dealing with an achilles issue and was limited in Thursday's practice on September 17, 2026.

Saints | Chris Olave questionable for Sunday Fri Sep 18, 05:52 PM
Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Luckily for fantasy managers, the Saints play at 1 pm ET on Sunday, so there will be no shortage of pivot options if Olave can't go. Olave came out of last week's game unscathed, but was added to Thursday's injury report with a hamstring. He maintained his limited participation on Friday. If Olave is active, he's a must-start coming off last week's 182-yard showing. If he's inactive, DeVaughn Vele moves into the WR2 tier, while Bryce Lance becomes a desperation flex. |

Falcons | Penix Jr. officially out, Tagovailoa doubtful; Rush confirmed as Week 2 starter Fri Sep 18, 05:52 PM
Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk reports that, with Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game and with QB Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) listed as doubtful, Cooper Rush is officially set to start, with Jack Strand as his backup.
| Footballguys view: Penix has practiced in full for back-to-back weeks, but he still seems to have some mental hurdles as he recovers from his third ACL tear. Last week's showing with Cooper Rush starting was abysmal. Drake London and Kyle Pitts were consistently open, and Rush couldn't get them the ball. Kyle Pitts is unstartable this week, and London can be played as a shaky WR2. Bijan Robinson should run all over a defense that the Bears just carved up for 291 yards last week, and he's an elite RB1. Managers who drafted London or Pitts can only hope Penix is back in Week 3. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker has no injury designation, set for Week 2 Fri Sep 18, 05:52 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker has no injury designation heading into Sunday's game, clearing him after being limited in practice earlier in the week with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: After Coker left Week 1's two-touchdown game in a boot, panic ensued. However, he opened the week's practice with limited participation and finished the week without any limitations. Tetairoa McMillan and Coker are the obvious one-two punch in the Panthers' passing attack. While Coker may not recreate his gaudy Week 1 statline, he's absolutely worth a look as a WR3 or flex. |

Cardinals | LaFleur: Love-Allgeier will 'rotate' all season, role won't 'expand' Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM
Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur discussed the running back rotation between RB Jeremiyah Love and RB Tyler Allgeier, per Cardinals.com. LaFleur said Love's role 'is going to be what it was' and that the two backs 'are going to rotate,' citing the long season ahead.
| Footballguys view: "I have no idea how many carries he's going to get. I have roughly an idea of how many plays he's going to get, but you never know," LaFleur said. In Week 1 against the Chargers, Love had 13 touches (11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown) on 32 snaps, while Allgeier had 19 touches (17 carries for 61 yards) on 44 snaps. Sounds like we can expect more of the same this week and beyond. |

Bears | Swift, Monangai practice fully, no injury designations for Week 2 Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM
Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Bears RB D'Andre Swift and RB Kyle Monangai are both good to go for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Both running backs were limited early in the week, but they should be allotted their normal workloads in Week 2 against the Vikings. After Carolina's soft, deep coverage last week, Chicago will face a much more aggressive, blitz-heavy defense in Week 2. The Bears' run game looked lethal to start the season, but it'll be tougher sledding in Week 2. Swift can be started as a high-end RB2, and Monangai's outlook is a touchdown-dependent RB3. |

Saints | Kamara, Jordan clear injury report ahead of Ravens matchup Fri Sep 18, 05:49 PM
Tina Howell of SBNation.com reports that New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and DE Cam Jordan are off Friday's final injury report and expected to play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: After missing the season opener, Alvin Kamara will play in Week 2 against the Ravens. Per Kellen Moore, "Alvin is going to play a really valuable role this week." Last week, Travis Etienne Jr. and Kendre Miller split carries, while Etienne dominated the receiving work. Kamara is one of the most prolific pass-catching running backs in NFL history, signaling a potentially murky backfield going forward. This week, Etienne projects as a high-end RB3. Kamara, who could be limited in his return, is an RB5. And Miller projects to be involved just enough to make the other two frustrating for fantasy. We'll hope for more clarity on this backfield after Week 2, because it doesn't look great right now. |

Patriots | Henderson (ankle) off injury report, expected to play Week 2 vs. Steelers Fri Sep 18, 05:44 PM
Patriots.com reports that RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is off the injury report and is expected to play in New England's Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After practicing in full all week, TreVeyon Henderson will make his 2026 debut in Week 2 in a home matchup against the Steelers. Henderson took a backseat to Rhamondre Stevenson late in his rookie season, but it's still unclear how he'll be used in Year 2. Managers with running back depth who can afford a wait-and-see approach with Henderson should, but desperate managers can plug him in and hope he hits a home run in what's expected to be a limited role. We have Henderson ranked as a high-end RB4 this week, meaning he's more likely to be on your bench than in your lineup. |

Bills | Joe Brady: DJ Moore 'will be out there' Week 3 if he can play Fri Sep 18, 05:43 PM
Bills HC Joe Brady said WR DJ Moore will play in Week 3 against the Chargers if he is able to. Moore is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury sustained in Buffalo's Thursday night win over the Lions, but the team avoided a major injury diagnosis.
| Footballguys view: The extra rest after Thursday Night Football makes it more likely Moore will have a chance to suit up. Moore was officially diagnosed with an AC joint sprain, and those can vary in severity. Our Adam Hutchinson expects Moore to miss at least one week. But if any player is tough enough to play through a painful injury, it's Moore. |

Vikings | McCarthy demoted to third-string amid 'immaturity' and accuracy issues Fri Sep 18, 05:42 PM
Yahoo Sports reports that Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy has been demoted to third string on Minnesota's depth chart.
| Footballguys view: The move comes after maturity and accuracy issues led the Vikings to sign QB Kyler Murray to be their starter. The report states that McCarthy's 'immaturity' problem has stunned the Vikings staff. |

Buccaneers | McMillan questionable with knee injury, trending toward Week 2 return Fri Sep 18, 05:41 PM
According to Buccaneers.com, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: We'll hope for clarity on McMillan as we near kickoff. Luckily, the Buccaneers' games kick off early, giving fantasy managers plenty of options if he can't go. McMillan was inactive in Week 1, so few were relying on him in their lineups. If he can go, he's off the radar outside of the deepest leagues. If he can't, expect WR2/WR3 production from both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin Jr. |

Texans | Nico Collins ruled out for Week 2 vs. Bengals with hamstring injury Fri Sep 18, 05:38 PM
Andy Backstrom of Yahoo Sports reports that Texans WR Nico Collins has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Bengals due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Collins avoided the worst-case scenario, and his hamstring injury is relatively minor. However, he'll miss at least Week 2. Xavier Hutchinson was in a full-time role last week, and that should continue. Kayshon Boutte, now with the Texans for over a full month, should also see some extra work. Dalton Schultz moves near the top of the weekly tight end streamer list. The Texans will have a tough matchup against a high-scoring Bengals offense, and the healthy receivers should see more than their typical workload. Desperate managers could look to stream Hutchinson and Boutte, but Schultz's positional designation could make him the most valuable beneficiary. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs expected to play at some point Tue Sep 1, 09:45 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt list, is expected to play at some point in 2026, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
| Footballguys view: Asked if there's a scenario in which the Packers release Jacobs, Gutekunst said, "I think we'll let the process play out before we make any kind of those decisions." The NFL has yet to issue a suspension for Jacobs, who can't practice or play while on the exempt list. Jacobs has an initial hearing on Nov. 17. It's hard to envision him playing before then. MarShawn Lloyd will handle the bulk of the workload in Jacobs' absence. |

Jets | Cade Klubnik the backup Tue Sep 1, 09:43 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will be the backup quarterback to QB Geno Smith to start the season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, is the only backup on the 53-man roster. Geno Smith, 35, will start the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Bailey Zappe, released Sunday, is expected to return to the practice squad. Ostensibly, Klubnik, Zappe, and Brady Cook competed for the No. 2 job, but it was clear from the outset that it was Klubnik's job to lose. The Jets believe Klubnik will benefit from being the No. 2 quarterback because of the extra practice reps. |
Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love 50-50 for opener Tue Sep 1, 09:25 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is 50-50 to play in Week 1, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters that Love, who returned to practice on Monday, is making good progress in his recovery. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, in addition to suggesting Love is 50/50 for next week's opener against the Chargers, acknowledged that we're unlikely to get clarity until next week. The team's first injury report for its matchup against the Chargers will be released on Sept. 9. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love making progress Tue Sep 1, 12:10 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is making good progress in his recovery and will take a step in his recovery Monday, Aug. 31, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Asked specifically if Love would be ready for Week 1, LaFleur would only say the rookie is "progressing." Love is dealing with what's reportedly a high-ankle sprain, suffered in their preseason win over the Raiders. He's been out of practices and doing individual work the last two weeks. But it's worth noting he traveled to Green Bay with the rest of the team last week. Fantasy managers should expect him to be questionable for the opener against the Chargers, but the first injury report of the season won't come out until Sept. 9. |

49ers | George Kittle will be on field this week Tue Sep 1, 12:08 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will be eased back into practice over the next few days, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's return to team drills comes a day after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Kittle was expected to practice this week. Schefter reported that Kittle hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery and that he has a legitimate chance to play against the Rams to open San Francisco's 2026 season. The 49ers will practice the next three days before traveling to Melbourne to resume preparations for the opener. Shanahan said it wasn't necessary to know if Kittle will play before leaving, but that it wouldn't be a bad thing. We'll be watching for more. |

The coach added, "I mean, obviously we're not tackling or anything like that, but he'll be ready to roll." The Cardinals do not have a game this week, though Arizona will be practicing with the regular season just around the corner. |
