Colts WR Josh Downs will be a game time decision for Week 2

Sep 13, 2024

Shane Steichen rules Julian Blackmon out versus Green Bay. Shane says he doesn't expect it to be a long term thing.

DeForest Buckner will be a game time decision - Shane optimistic he'll play. Adds Josh Downs will be a GTD also.

Related Players: Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Fantasy Impact:

It's not a great matchup against a Packers team that looks to be starting Malik Willis, but Anthony Richardson once again proved that he's willing to throw bombs early and often. It'll be a coinflip as to whether Pierce or Mitchell is the one who will come down with a deep ball in Downs presumptive absence, but the correct guess could equate to a WR3 week. They are both extreme boom/bust options.

Browns TE David Njoku "unlikely" to play Week 3

Mary Kay Cabot

Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that Denzel Ward (shoulder) can play more than 11 snaps vs. Giants, TE David Njoku 'unlikely' to play.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Akins has been seeing a bigger workload this year but not enough for our purposes. Over 49 routes run he has accrued only 37 yards. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

You love to see it. Fire JJ up everywhere.

Packers QB Jordan Love returns to practice

Ryan Wood

yesterday · 1:52 PM EDT

Jordan Love practicing for first time since spraining his MCL in opener against Eagles. An awfully good sign for QB1’s availability this week in Tennessee.

Related Players: Malik Willis

Fantasy Impact:

Green Bay rolled out the perfect gameplan for Willis in Love's absence, but we shouldn't assume the latter only gets 14 pass attempts if he's good to go for Week 3. If he's ready to suit up, mark him down as a low-end QB1 against the Titans.
