Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain during Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. Parkinson briefly exited the game before returning to play through the injury. It's too early to tell whether he'll be available in Week 2, but it's worth noting that Los Angeles has no incentive to rush him back from injury. The Rams have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL with Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and Terrance Ferguson.

The New York Jets have signed wide receiver Tyler Johnson to their active roster. He had been on the practice squad, but the Jets had room to elevate him after placing Alijah Vera-Tucker on injured reserve. Johnson did appear in the season opener, catching two passes for 31 yards. He'll fill a low-volume depth role going forward. As a result, fantasy managers should leave him on waivers in all leagues. Garrett Wilson remains the only Jets receiver who should be rostered in all formats,

The Green Bay Packers have signed running back Pierre Strong Jr. to their practice squad. The 26-year-old spent last season with the Cleveland Browns, totaling 108 rushing yards and 104 receiving yards. He also got involved on special teams, returning 11 kicks in 2024. Strong remained with the Browns organization until the end of August, when the team released him with an injury designation. He'll remain a mere depth option in Green Bay, especially since he's reporting to the practice squad. The former fourth-round pick provides additional insurance in case Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson, or Chris Brooks gets hurt.

Dynasty | Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp had two catches for 15 yards in a loss to the 49ers. Dynasty Analysis: It was as bad as it looks. Sam Darnold locked on to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kupp didn't seem to remotely be part of the game plan. Things should get better moving forward but Kupp belongs on fantasy benches as a player whose injuries may have honestly just caught up to him at this point.

Dynasty | Ravens running back Derrick Henry had 169 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a heartbreaking loss to the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: Unfortunately, his night will be remembered more for a critical lost fumble that seemed to give Buffalo life as they came back from 15 points down with less than four minutes to play. Still, Henry looked as explosive as ever and averaged almost ten yards per carry on the night. One of the toughest runners in history, he looks poised to be a strong candidate to rush for up to 2,000 and make a play as the overall RB1 in dynasty this year. In other words, he's quite the target for a contending team.

Dynasty | Bills receiver Keon Coleman had eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo's win against Baltimore. Dynasty Analysis: Even better, Coleman led the team with 11 targets. There has been some buzz about Coleman taking a second year leap and now there's real evidence it could happen. He's not quite a lineup lock at the moment but anyone who endured his disappointing rookie season has to be thrilled. His ADP and ranking should be on the way up.

Dynasty | Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers had seven catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in a loss to Buffalo. Dynasty Analysis: Flowers led the team with nine targets, five more than any other player. With Mark Andrews looking a little over the hill and few others really pushing him, Flowers could provide sneaky WR1 value this season. This was a huge start and Flowers should be in the top 15 in terms of receiver rankings moving forward, despite being part of a run-first attack.

Dynasty | The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded running back Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles. Dynasty Analysis: Travis Etienne had one of the more surprising performances on Sunday and the Jaguars apparently saw enough to split up their dynamic duo after just one week. The Jags were on record saying they didn't want to keep four running backs and now they're down to Etienne, Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen. As for Bigsby, he should compete with Will Shipley to be the backup to Saquon Barkley but this puts a major pin in his short-term value balloon.

San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk may receive a bigger role in the offense while TE George Kittle (hamstring) is sidelined, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.

The Atlanta Falcons will work out a variety of kickers and could look to replace Younghoe Koo, according to head coach Raheem Morris. While Morris confirmed that Koo is the Falcons' kicker "right now," he explained that they'll bring in young kickers and veteran kickers for an audition. Practice squad kicker Lenny Krieg, whom Morris described as a "developing prospect," will also have a chance to compete for the kicking job. At the peak of his career, Koo was one of the most dependable kickers in NFL history. However, his accuracy has started to decline. He missed nine field goals last season and went 2-for-3 in Sunday's season opener, missing a potential game-tying kick against the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (groin) said that he feels good despite exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran receiver is one of three Atlanta receivers dealing with injuries, along with Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was inactive Sunday, and Drake London (shoulder), who exited after dropping a target in the fourth quarter. Agnew was not targeted in the passing game, but he did get involved on special teams with two kick returns and two punt returns. He's off the fantasy radar for Week 2 regardless of his injury status.

Los Angeles Chargers LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round draft picks in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. There were rumblings this offseason that the Jaguars were considering trading one of Bigsby or Travis Etienne Jr. after they drafted Bhayshul Tuten in April, and now it's come to fruition. The Eagles will get more insurance for Saquon Barkley after Will Shipley went down with a rib injury in the season-opening win over the Cowboys last Thursday, although the trade for Bigsby reportedly isn't related. The Eagles are expected to explore using Bigsby as a kickoff returner, which won't do anything for his fantasy value with the move to Philly. Tuten, meanwhile, becomes much more interesting as a bench stash. He's currently only rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues.

The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie writes that the Arizona Cardinals "tweaked some of their pass-protection schematics in an attempt to open up more scrambling lanes" for quarterback Kyler Murray up the middle this year. In the 20-13 Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Murray went 21-for-29 for 163 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while running the ball seven times for 38 yards. "I did think there were some high-leverage snaps in that game where he used his legs for our advantage and that's what you want to see," head coach Jonathan Gannon said. The 28-year-old ranked eighth among QBs in 2024 with 78 carries and finished fourth with 572 yards on the ground and five touchdowns. It sounds like Arizona might prefer Murray run the ball even more in 2025, which would only raise his ceiling and floor as a weekly low-end QB1 in fantasy.

Chicago Bears All-Pro cornerback Jaylon Johnson (calf, groin) is officially inactive for Monday Night Football in Week 1 versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Johnson went through pre-game warmups but will need at least another week. It is a significant absence for Chicago's secondary and will make life easier on Vikings former first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy in his NFL regular-season debut. Johnson missed all of training camp during the summer with a groin injury and is also dealing with a calf ailment, which is why the Bears aren't going to take any chances with the 26-year-old. Not only is Johnson inactive, but slot corner Kyler Gordon (hamstring) will be missing from this one, so both Vikings wideouts Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen could have big games.

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) suffered a shoulder and toe injury during the Week 1 game, and his availability for Week 2 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Purdy practices this week and is cleared to play in Week 2. The 49ers have multiple offense players dealing with injuries, so fantasy players may want to consider other options at quarterback.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to miss several weeks because of the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Fantasy Spin: Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges will likely share playing time at tight end while Kittle is sidelined, but neither player should be considered a starting option in fantasy leagues.

The San Francisco 49ers are still evaluating tests done on wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) after he injured his shoulder in the Week 1 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and never returned. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said initial tests looked OK, but there is still more to come. The 28-year-old missed basically all of training camp and the preseason due to a minor calf injury and a contract holdout before catching two of five targets for 16 yards and injuring his shoulder in the season opener. More targets will be available for him if he's able to play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints with tight end George Kittle (hamstring) expected to miss three to five weeks, but it could be a mute point if quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) is also unable to play. Ricky Pearsall is the clear WR1, but the recently signed Kendrick Bourne could be in for a substantial role if Jennings misses time.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for the Monday night contest against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. Johnson was able to get in a limited practice on Saturday after being listed as a DNP on Thursday and Friday, but it was not enough for the Bears to clear him to play in the season opener. He has been dealing with a foot injury since early August and could be in danger of missing Week 2 against the division-rival Detroit Lions as well. With the 24-year-old sidelined on Monday, rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai is expected to work as D'Andre Swift's backup, although it probably won't amount to a ton of action in his first regular-season NFL game. If Johnson continues to miss time and Monangai impresses, it's not out of the question that Monangai could leapfrog Johnson on the RB depth chart.
