Saints’ RB Jamaal Williams is expected to need “some time” to recover from his hamstring injury, per HC Dennis Allen.

It's another hit for the Saints backfield as Kamara is still suspended for two more games. But, the good news is Miller is expected to make his debut in Week 3. However, it could be an a messy situation until Kamara gets back and the team could opt to include Hill into the rushing attack like they did in Week 2. Jones carried 12 times for 34 yards but scored twice. Hill ran nine times for 75 yards.

Jamaal Williams left the game and went to the locker room during the second quarter. The team announced that Williams is questionable to return due to a hamstring injury a short time later.

Jones took over the Saints backfield and could see a significant role over the next couple of weeks. The Saints are thin at the position with Kamara suspended and Miller out.

No practice again for today for a second straight day for Packers’ WR Christian Watson and RB Aaron Jones, who are dealing with hamstring injuries.

Though no one benefitted from a huge target share in Week 1, Doubs accounted for two-of-three passing touchdowns from Jordan Love, after reports from camp pegged him as the quarterback's favorite target. Reed had a huge 18.4 aDOT in the kickoff game, filling into the deep-threat role. Dillon should slide into the RB1 role if Jones were to miss time, making him a very solid fantasy RB2.

LaFleur said they're still evaluating RB Aaron Jones (hamstring).

The post went on to say, "the encouraging thing is he was able to jog off the field" and that they didn't need him the rest of the game. This falls in line with a news story we posted from earlier today when Jones downplayed the injury. Obviously these injuries can be tricky, so Jones owners will want to follow this closely to learn more about his Week 2 status.

Christian Watson just spoke for a couple minutes. He said there’s “a lot better chance” he plays Sunday in Atlanta than entering yesterday’s game.

Watson is dealing with a hamstring injury that left fantasy owners without him for Week 1. The post added Watson is still taking it day-by-day. Watson added, to his knowledge, an IR stint has never been a possibility. We'll continue to monitor his progress this week.

Aaron Jones downplaying severity of his hamstring issue. Said after game it feels "great," claims he could've gone back in game.

The post said the team thought maybe Jones was dealing with a cramp. Jones described the injury as a 'bite' and said he could have gone back in the game if the Packers didn't have a big lead. It will be something to monitor this week if you're a Jones owner.

Christian Watson is OUT Sunday vs. the Bears, Matt LaFleur says.

Romeo Doubs is questionable.

Things aren't looking so hot for Jordan Love's first official start as the team's QB1. Jayden Reed looked fantastic throughout the offseason, so if Doubs is forced out, he will also make a very intriguing DFS piece. Luke Musgrave, who also showed out through the summer, is also interesting for managers who are scouring the waiver wire after learning late on Thursday that they would be without Travis Kelce.

For the second straight day today, Packers’ WR Christian Watson did not practice due to a hamstring injury.

What was setting up for a nice debut week for new QB Jordan Love is suddenly not so positive as Watson may not be on the field for Week 1. Doubs has also been limited throughout the week, which further dings the Packers offense as a whole. If Friday doesn't deliver some good news, Love will fall out of favor in Superflex leagues.

Things may change, but it’s not looking good for Kendre Miller’s availability this week. I would anticipate a big Jamaal Williams game backed up by Kirk Merritt, with Tony Jones Jr. activated from the practice squad.

Merritt didn't carry the ball one single time in the preseason, so his workload isn't expected to make much of an impact on Wiliams' touch share. Could be a huge game for the former Packer.
