  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Listed as questionable

    McConkey (rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, ESPN's Kris Rhim reports.

    McConkey missed the fourth quarter of last week's game and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but a return to practice Friday gives him a shot to play this Sunday. If it comes down to a game-time decision, fantasy managers should have an alternative ready from the late-afternoon games or primetime contests (the Chargers are scheduled for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff). Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will both get plenty of snaps at wide receiver if McConkey ends up on the inactive list.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Ruled out for Week 2

    Collins (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Bengals.

    Collins injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice and wasn't able to return Thursday or Friday. With his absence confirmed, the Texans have Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as their healthy options at wide receiver. Collins typically accounts for more than one-fourth of Houston's targets, so his absence also could push some volume toward the team's RBs and TEs.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Status in question for Week 2

    McMillan (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Despite being listed as a full participant on all three Week 2 injury reports, McMillan isn't in the clear to make his season debut, which ultimately may not be known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. He's been dealing with a knee issue since early August, but if he's active this weekend, he'd join Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson as the WR options behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Will play Sunday night

    Pierce (heel) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    After sitting out Thursday's session, Pierce returned to full work Friday and appears set to handle his usual role for Indianapolis. Colts coach Shane Steichen said Pierce's off day was for maintenance, suggesting the team was never worried about an absence. Pierce played 88 percent of snaps after halftime in the Week 1 loss to Baltimore, so he may have a full-time role despite being banged up already.

  • Steelers' Michael Pittman: Listed questionable for Sunday

    Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Pittman was a limited participant Wednesday, but he then missed Thursday's practice and again was listed as a 'DNP' on Friday after a walkthrough. New England's 1:00 p.m ET kickoff means fantasy managers will have a chance to react if Pittman comes down to a game-time decision Sunday morning. An absence should give rookie Germie Bernard his first chance at significant playing time, and both No. 3 WR Roman Wilson and No. 2 TE Darnell Washington are candidates for extra snaps to help fill the gap.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Listed as doubtful for Sunday

    Flowers (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

    Flowers returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, with Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reporting that the wideout didn't do much during the open portion of practice. With Flowers unlikely to play, Baltimore's top wideouts for Week 2 are Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, Chris Moore, Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Returns to practice Friday

    McConkey (rib) is back at practice Friday for the Chargers, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    McConkey was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday after missing the fourth quarter of a Week 1 loss to Arizona. His level of participation Friday should provide more clarity on his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Raiders. If McConkey doesn't play, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will be in line for more routes and targets against a Raiders secondary that won't have starting cornerback Darien Porter (foot).

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Ruled out for Week 2

    Jennings (not injury related - personal) won't play Sunday in Chicago.

    Jennings didn't practice at all this week due to a personal matter and thus now has been ruled out for Week 2 action. The Vikings lean on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison the most at wide receiver, but some targets seemingly will be available for Tai Felton and even Myles Price in Jennings' absence. Jennings' next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Sept. 27 at Tampa Bay.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Questionable for Sunday

    Olave (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    When Olave went down as a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, his early exit was deemed precautionary, according to Underhill. Olave remained limited Friday and thus will enter the weekend as a question mark for the Saints' Week 2 offense. In a Week 1 loss at Detroit, Olave served as Tyler Shough's top pass catcher to the tune of 10 catches for 182 yards on 13 targets.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Present for Friday's practice

    Olave (hamstring) was present for Friday's practice session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Olave left Thursday's practice with a hamstring issue, which was deemed a precautionary move afterward. It's not yet clear how much he was able to do Friday, but his presence alone bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
