Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Fantasy Impact: Dobbins also was a full participant in practice Wednesday and appears like he may be active in Week 2. The Ravens will likely hold off from giving Dobbins a full workload upon his return. Fantasy managers should probably wait and see how they utilize him upon his return before putting him in their lineups.

Fantasy Impact: This isn’t too surprising after suffering the hamstring injury in week 1 and not practicing Wednesday. Godwin isn’t likely to play in week 2, but fantasy managers should still keep an eye on the situation as the week goes on. None of Mike Evans, Breshard Perriman, Russell Gage, or Julio Jones practiced fully Thursday potentially making things pretty messy for the Bucs in week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Pittman was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, but not participating at all Thursday has him trending in the wrong direction. With Alec Pierce being limited in practice with a concussion, fantasy managers should expect Parris Campbell and Ashton Dulin to take over the starting wide receiver duties if Pittman is unable to suit up in Week 2. If the Colts are without both Pittman and Pierce, it is likely a week with a heavy workload for Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines.
Alvin Kamara (ribs) does not practice Thursday

Fantasy Impact
Kamara logged a limited practice session Wednesday, so his status during Friday’s practice will be worth monitoring ahead of the Saints Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Kamara is able to play Sunday, he will look to find room against a Tampa Bay defense that held the Cowboys to 71 rushing yards.
