Week 1 is finally here! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here.

Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) questionable for Week 1
Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is questionable for Denver’s Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Jeudy suffered a hamstring injury in a joint practice a couple of weeks ago that will leave him questionable for Sunday’s game. His recovery is going quicker than most expected, and he’ll now have a chance to suit up for the team’s home opener against the Raiders. If he is inactive, fantasy managers can expect rookie Marvin Mims to get more work in his absence.
What the Experts Are Saying
TBD. Data rates Jeudy 60% chance of playing. If active, he does so with relatively high re-injury risk (~20-25%) and projects to have a moderate (~15%) explosiveness dip. By Week 2 – if he avoids re-injury – our data projects a 90+% player.
-Dr. Deepak Chona
Initial diagnosis of Jeudy’s hamstring injury painted a grim picture of his availability in Week 1. Don’t hold your breath hoping he makes a quick return where he can be placed confidently in lineups come Sunday morning.
