Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Christian Watson (hamstring) questionable to play Sunday
Christian Watson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
A hamstring injury left Watson sidelined in Week 1 and will now leave him with a questionable tag for Sunday’s game. The team is taking his recovery week-to-week for right now, and they will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. If he’s out, fantasy managers can look for Romeo Doubs and rookie Jayden Reed to continue to get more work in his absence.

Aaron Jones (hamstring) questionable for Week 2
Aaron Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Jones suffered a hamstring injury during Week 1’s blowout win over the Bears and will be questionable for Week 2 because of it. He’s been absent from multiple practices this week, and the team wants to be careful with his recovery and not rush him back. He was an elite fantasy option when he was on the field last week, but AJ Dillon may have to be the lead RB in this backfield if the team opts to sit Jones against Atlanta.

Darren Waller (hamstring) good to go for Sunday
Darren Waller (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
There have been some concerns that Waller’s lingering hamstring injury will be an issue for him, but he isn’t on the injury report for Sunday and will be good to go. He will play at full capacity and is a must-start fantasy option at the position against a dismal Arizona defense.

Brandin Cooks (knee) considered a game-time decision for Week 2
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Brandin Cooks will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Cooks did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but Jones added that Cooks doesn’t need to practice to suit up on Sunday. If he is sidelined, Michael Gallup would likely be a little more involved but either way they both aren’t anything more than risky WR3’s from a fantasy football perspective.
