Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Update
Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) popped up on the injury report Friday after missing practice with a stomach bug. While he is expected to play on Sunday, the Patriots still listed him as questionable. Assuming he suits up, Stevenson is a mid-range RB2 in fantasy football. In the event that he can't go, Ezekiel Elliott would draw the start and have some high-end RB3/FLEX appeal.
Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Kenneth Walker (groin) has been removed from the Seahawks' injury report and will play against the Rams on Sunday. Even with rookie Zach Charbonnet in the fold, Walker is a workhorse back who should be viewed as a stable RB2 in fantasy football.
Breece Hall Injury Update
Breece Hall (knee) was limited in practice on Friday. Given that the Jets face the Bills on Monday night, Hall has one more day to log a full practice and show that he deserves to enter Week 1 without any injury designation. In all reality, that's probably wishful thinking. Hall will likely be labeled as questionable but has a strong chance to suit up, splitting snaps with Dalvin Cook. If active, he's an RB3 for fantasy purposes.
Javonte Williams Injury Update
Javonte Williams (knee) will play in Week 1 and is expected to have a "big role," per head coach Sean Payton. While the Broncos will still be mature with how many snaps he gets, Williams is back and should be viewed as a fringe top-24 back in fantasy football. Denver takes on Las Vegas this Sunday.
Zack Moss Injury Update
Zack Moss (arm) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable for Week 1. Not much has changed in regard to his fantasy outlook, though. Even if he plays, the Colts will deploy a committee of Moss, Deon Jackson, and Evan Hull, none of whom are worth starting. If Moss sits out, Jackson's experience and pass-catching familiarity could vault him into RB3/FLEX range.
De'Von Achane Injury Update
De'Von Achane (shoulder) was a full participant in practice all week long. He has no injury designation heading into the weekend and will make his NFL debut versus the Chargers. With that said, he's expected to be phased into the offense and isn't worth starting in fantasy football quite yet.
Dalvin Cook Injury Update
Dalvin Cook (shoulder) has been cleared to play on Monday night without limitations. For fantasy purposes, he ranks as an RB3 whose value would rise in the unlikely event that Hall (knee) is inactive.
Kendre Miller Injury Update
Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable despite failing to practice at all this week. At this point, it would be a surprise if Miller manages to play in Week 1. Look for Jamaal Williams to handle lead-back duties while Kirk Merritt and Taysom Hill also log some touches.
Cordarrelle Patterson Injury Update
Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), listed at the "joker" position on Atlanta's official depth chart, is officially questionable for the season opener. He's had trouble getting on the field but did practice in a limited capacity this week. The veteran is likely a true game-time decision but isn't a reliable fantasy option with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier slated to handle the bulk of backfield snaps.
Kenny McIntosh Injury Update
Kenny McIntosh (knee, hamstring) did not practice this week and has been ruled out for Week 1. The rookie was brought in to add depth behind Walker and Charbonnet and is not on the fantasy radar.
Jordan Mason Injury Update
Jordan Mason (foot) has been removed from the 49ers' injury report. He's cleared to play Sunday, though there's a chance he could still be inactive if San Francisco opts to use Tyrion Davis-Price as its No. 3 back behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.
Dare Ogunbowale Injury Update
Dare Ogunbowale (hamstring) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore. The same qualifier on Mason applies to Ogunbowale; even if healthy, Ogunbowale could be made inactive, allowing Mike Boone to operate as the No. 3 back behind Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary.
