A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Falcons.

The only good news is that the Eagles took mercy on fantasy football managers and released the news before Sunday lineup lock. The extremely bad news is that you’re now missing your first-round pick for a strong home matchup. DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert should pick up most of the lost targets slack, but trade acquisition Jahan Dotson now has a chance to gobble up snaps and command a few looks. You now have the entire slate at your disposal when it comes to swapping someone else in for AJB, but Dotson and Atlanta’s Ray-Ray McCloud are the primary Monday night options. Brown never seemed to make any progress after getting injured on Friday, boding poorly for his Week 3 status.
Evan Engram

JAX Tight End #17

ESPN’s Michael DiRocco reports Jaguars TE Evan Engram suffered a hamstring injury during warmups and will not play in Week 2 against the Browns.

Engram wasn’t listed among the team’s inactives but is still out for Week 2. Second-year tight end Brenton Strange should be the next man up, though he and Luke Farrell may ultimately split the tight end snaps for Jacksonville. Strange is almost exclusively a blocking tight end, so fantasy managers can avoid this situation until we get more information. Engram’s absence will open up more shallow looks for the running backs and Christian Kirk.
Jayden Reed

GB Wide Receiver #11

Jayden Reed (calf/shin) is active for Week 2 against the Colts.

Reed was a downgrade in Friday’s practice, which put his Week 2 availability in some question. He’ll play through his shin and calf issues and could be the only fantasy-viable Packers wideout with Malik Willis under center in the coming weeks. The Packers are likely to scheme up short-area targets for the shifty Reed, who had 138 yards and a touchdown on four catches in Week 1.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Packers declared QB Jordan Love, S Kitan Oladapo, DL Brenton Cox Jr., T Andre Dillard, T Travis Glover, and DL Colby Wooden inactive for Week 2 against the Colts.

Love had almost no chance to suit up this week after sustaining a serious MCL injury in Week 1 against the Eagles. NFL Network reports Love is targeting a Week 5 return to action. That means Malik Willis will start at least the next three games for Green Bay. Look for the Packers to lean heavily on Josh Jacobs against a soft Colts front seven.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #1

Colts declared WR Josh Downs, QB Sam Ehlinbger, DB Julian Blackmon, OL Tanor Bortolini, OT Blake Freeland, TE Will Mallory, and DL Genard Avery inactive for Week 2 against the Packers.

Downs was considered 50-50 to suit up in Week 2, a month after sustaining a high ankle sprain in practice. Downs would seem likely to make his 2024 debut in Week 3. Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce will split WR2 duties behind Michael Pittman until then. Mitchell was close to two long gains in Week 1, which Pierce cashed in on his two downfield opportunities.
Marshon Lattimore

NO Defensive Back #23

Saints CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is inactive for Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Lattimore did not practice all week due to a hamstring injury and is now officially out against Dallas. Rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry may see a bigger role with the Saints being cautious with Lattimore. Also inactive for the Saints are WR A.T. Perry, QB Spencer Rattler, DT Khalen Saunders, LB D’Marco Jackson, LB Jaylan Ford, and TE Dallin Holker. Rattler will be the team’s emergency third quarterback.
Jordan Addison

MIN Wide Receiver #3

Vikings declared Jordan Addison, Fabian Moreau, Dwight McGlothern, Levi Drake, Rodriguez Jalen, and Redmond Walter Rouse inactive for Week 2 against the 49ers.

Addison, who was injured on a hip drop tackle in Week 1, was declared out on Friday after missing practice all week. He could miss more time with the injury. For now, Jalen Nailor should run as the Vikings’ No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson.
Jameson Williams

DET Wide Receiver #9

Jameson Williams (ankle) is active for Week 2’s matchup against the Buccaneers.

Jamo, OT Penei Sewell and S Kerby Joseph are all active for Detroit after being listed as questionable heading into Week 2. Williams had to have his ankle taped during Week 1’s game against the Rams and still finished with five receptions, 121 yards and a touchdown. Williams had two receptions, 53 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers during the 2023 regular season. He figures to be an upside WR2 in this matchup against Tampa Bay.
Marcus Davenport

DET Defensive End #92

Lions declared DL Marcus Davenport, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, WR Isaiah Williams, CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr., LV Trevor Nowaske, T Giovani Manu, and OL Colby Sorsdal inactive for Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

The Lions will miss Davenport’s ability to rush the passer off the edge. The free agent acquisition played in only four games with the Vikings last year. Otherwise, the Lions are fairly healthy heading into Week 2. Detroit’s second round pick Ennis Rakestraw is a surprise healthy scratch.
Trey Lance

DAL Quarterback #19

Cowboys declared TE Jake Ferguson, QB Trey Lance, CB Andrew Booth, LB Buddy Johnson, WR Ryan Flournoy, TE John Stephens Jr., and OT Matt Waletzko inactive for Week 2 against the Saints.

The Cowboys’ inactives look similar to last week, with Ferguson joining the group due to a knee injury. He was doubtful to play heading into the day and is officially out against the Saints. Lance will be the team’s emergency third quarterback, but Cooper Rush is the immediate backup to Dak Prescott.
