Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a hamstring injury in the second half Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. With RB R.J. Harvey inactive with his own hamstring injury, Denver is down to RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson injured his ankle in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He was carted back to the locker room and has been ruled out. San Francisco is already down WR Ricky Pearsall for the year and WR De'Zhaun Stribling for the next couple of months, leaving them very thin behind WRs Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered an apparent left elbow injury on the final play of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That's the same elbow Daniels hurt twice last year. The first cost him three games, and the second got him shut down for the final 4 games. Daniels was carted back to the locker room at halftime. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Marcus Mariota will finish out this game for Washington.

Update: Daniels has been ruled out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after the win over the Titans that he'll get an MRI on the stinger he suffered on his first carry. Barkley returned for a the start of the second half but had just 3 more carries and 1 catch the rest of the way. RBs Tank Bigsby (13 carries, 2 targets) and Will Shipley (7 carries, 2 targets) split work fairly evenly with Barkley limited. Bigsby came away with 38 yards and a TD to Shipley's 29 yards and would be the better fantasy play if Barkley misses time. We should learn more tomorrow.

Chargers TE David Njoku was carted off early in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders with an apparent knee injury. We'll update his status when we know more, but this obviously looks like a significant injury.

Update: Njoku has been ruled out with a knee injury.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with a groin injury. He notably dealt with groin trouble ahead of Week 1. We'll look for more information of the severity of this latest issue.

Update: HC Dave Canales said Brooks aggravated the injury he dealt with at the end of training camp and is day to day.

Bears QB Caleb Williams went down untouched with an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He was visibly upset as he was helped off the field by trainers and then carted back to the locker room. We'll update Williams' status when we know more. QB Tyson Bagent has replaced Williams.

Update: The Bears say Williams has a hamstring injury. We'll look for details on the severity.

Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. It’ll be his first game action since summer ankle surgery. I’d avoid sticking him in IDP lineups before we see the role and how close to full strength he is

49ers K Eddy Pineiro (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He missed practice all week but is evidently well enough to kick the football today. Pineiro is a solid fantasy starter with the 49ers likely to score a bunch of points in this one.

49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in the final two practices of the week and listed as questionable. That might impact his workload today, but Black is available if you were waiting on him.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting Bowers to play Week 3. His absence today makes TE Michael Mayer a solid fantasy start.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He’ll be playing with a flak jacket to protect a cracked rib suffered in the opener, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning. A big hit could knock McConkey from this game, but we’re expecting him to play his usual role unless that happens.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. RBs J.K. Dobbins, Jonah Coleman, and Tyler Badie are active. Dobbins figures to control rushing work but will likely cede passing-down snaps to Coleman and Badie. Dobbins checks in 28th in the Week 2 RB rankings.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle suffered a toe injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. He was carted back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. We'll update Dowdle's status when we know more.

Update: Dowdle returned for the start of the second half.

Update: Dowdle was ruled out in the second half.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Titans and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. With TE Eli Stowers on IR, Philly is down to TEs Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley left Week 2 with an apparent left arm injury. He went to the medical tent for further evaluation. Tank Bigsby would take over as Philadelphia's lead back if Barkley is unable to return.

UPDATE: Barkley sustained a stinger and is questionable to return.

Update: Barkley returned for the start of the second half.

Packers WR Jayden Reed was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and had to be carted off the field. Both teams were huddled around Reed and clearly concerned. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Reed has been ruled out with a neck injury.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) is trending the "wrong way" to play against the Giants on Monday night, ESPN's Adam Schefter said. Nacua did not practice on Friday or Saturday and is reportedly a game-time decision. But the vibes aren't good here. We're lowering Nacua in the WR rankings and would recommend benching him in most cases. Check your Team Dashboard to see whether he belongs in your starting lineup

Patriots DL Dre'Mont Jones is active for today's game against the Steelers. A foot issue limited him in practice all week and left him questionable, but Jones should be fine to use at normal levels in IDP lineups. He's coming off a strong Week 1 that included 4 QB hits.

Packers DL Lukas Van Ness is active for today's game against the Jets, meaning he officially cleared the concussion protocol. He's good to go as a lower-level IDP option with upside.
