Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Austin Ekeler (ankle) doubtful for Week 2 versus Titans
Austin Ekeler (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of their Week 2 contest against the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler was unable to practice all week, leaving many fantasy owners doubting the star running back would be able to take the field Sunday. Backup Joshua Kelley will likely start and receive even more volume in Ekeler’s absence against the Titans Sunday.

Puka Nacua (oblique) limited Friday, expected to play
According to team reporter Stu Jackson, Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will be limited in practice Friday, is listed as questionable for Week 2 and is expected to play, according to HC Sean McVay.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua popped on the injury report on Thursday with a DNP. The expectation is that he plays, though a mixture of a poor matchup (San Francisco 49ers) and the injury could hamper him in Game 2. Tutu Atwell could see an increased role.

Jakobi Meyers (concussion) officially ruled out for Week 2
According to Field Yates of ESPN, WR Jakobi Meyers has been ruled out by the Las Vegas Raiders for their Week 2 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Meyers stood out in his Raiders debut, snagging a pair of touchdowns in their victory over the Denver Broncos. He suffered a hit late in the game, though, that sent Meyers into concussion protocol. He will not play Week 2, elevating teammate Davante Adams‘ usage, and his status for Week 3 comes into question.

Mark Andrews (quad) questionable for Week 2
Mark Andrews (quad) was a full participant at practice on Friday and is officially questionable for Week 2.
Fantasy Impact
Andrews missed Baltimore’s Week 1 game because of a quad injury, and he’s now considered questionable for Week 2 for the same reason. He’s been limited at most practices over the past couple of weeks, but he was upgraded to full participation on Friday, which is a good sign for his availability. He seems to be trending towards playing and will be a must-start fantasy option if he’s active against the Bengals.
