McConkey left Week 1 with a rib injury; fantasy managers must monitor his status closely as any missed time would have "enormous" ripple effects for Chargers pass catchers.
Pat Bryant led the Broncos in targets in Week 1, signaling potential fantasy viability down the line; however, the source pumps the brakes on staking him as a viable fantasy starter for now due to low usage in Week 1.
Lock came into the game in relief of the injured Sam Darnold in Week 1 and would be in line to start should Darnold miss time due to his hip strain.
Darnold reportedly suffered an 'unusual muscle strain' in the team's Week 1 win over the Patriots. Although injured reserve is reportedly not being considered, Darnold appears to be in danger of missing time, even though the injury is considered 'short-term.' Drew Lock would be in line to start should Darnold miss time.
Holani is on hand to soak up change-of-pace reps in Seattle's running back rotation with Jadarian Price as the primary back and Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list.
Rookie Price is poised to begin the season as the primary back in Seattle with Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list. The team appears content to keep the situation fluid without a true workhorse, similar to how they handled Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet last season. Price is positioned well to return value weekly for fantasy drafters who invested a sixth-round pick in his services this offseason.
Charbonnet will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list due to a knee injury, although the team remains optimistic he will be able to beat his initial recovery timeline. Rookie Jadarian Price is poised to begin the season as the primary back in Seattle.
Pearsall was placed on season-ending injured reserve due to a knee injury and will miss the entirety of the 2026 season.
Robinson is believed by The Athletic's Matt Barrows to be the primary beneficiary of De'Zhaun Stribling's month-long ankle injury absence, positioning him for increased opportunity in the 49ers receiving corps.
Stribling suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 1 win over the Rams and will reportedly miss 'at least a month' with the injury. The Athletic's Matt Barrows believes Demarcus Robinson will be the primary beneficiary of the missed time.
Irving handled the additional opportunities left behind by Sean Tucker's hamstring absence in Week 1 and returned RB1 production. He remains a fantasy RB1 for as long as Tucker is sidelined, establishing him as the 1A running back for the Buccaneers.
Tucker did not play in the team's Week 1 loss to the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, leaving Bucky Irving to handle the additional opportunities and return RB1 production.
Second-year wide receiver Johnson would also factor in as a potential replacement if Jalen McMillan is unable to play due to his knee injury.
Rookie wide receiver Hurst could start in place of Jalen McMillan if McMillan is unable to go due to his knee injury, positioning him as a potential fill-in option.
McMillan did not play in the team's Week 1 loss to the Bengals due to a knee injury. He is listed as the Buccaneers' No. 3 wide receiver on the depth chart and is a boom-bust FLEX if active in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment.
Olave's weekly range of outcomes rivals almost any receiver in the league for as long as Jordyn Tyson remains out, indicating elevated target share and opportunity with the slot receiver sidelined.
Vele should begin the season in the starting lineup opposite Chris Olave with both players routinely used in the slot. He benefits from Jordyn Tyson's four-game minimum absence and is positioned for early-season opportunity.
Tyson begins the regular season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and will miss the first four games of the season at minimum. His absence opens opportunities for Devaughn Vele and Chris Olave in the Saints receiving corps.
Johnson is the starting tight end for the Saints with no positional target competition. He is a steady TE1 and should return weekly TE1 finishes for as long as Jordyn Tyson remains out.
Delp did not play in the team's Week 1 loss to the Lions due to a hamstring injury, leaving Juwan Johnson as the starting tight end with no positional target competition.
