Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Tyler Lockett (leg) says he’ll play Week 1
Tyler Lockett (leg) told reporters that he is good to go and will play in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

Lockett has been dealing with a leg injury that has left him sidelined at practice at some points, but doesn’t seem to be a serious issue at this point. He told reporters that he will play on Sunday, but fantasy managers should still be wary about starting the 31-year old in Week 1.

Mark Andrews not on injury report for Thursday
Mark Andrews is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

Andrews has missed a lot of practice time over the past few weeks because of an undisclosed issue, but it appears that it won’t affect his availability for the start of the season. He returned to practice last week, and now ahead of Thursday’s season opener against the Chiefs, he has been removed from the injury report entirely. Fantasy managers should start him with 100% confidence in a big Week 1 matchup against the reigning Super Bowl Champions.
