Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Russell Wilson (calf) says he can play Week 1, Steelers undecided
Russell Wilson told the team that he could play in Week 1 against the Falcons, but the team has not yet decided if he will. Wilson will reportedly test the calf during pregame warmups and do everything he can to be game-ready.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson had limited practice sessions on both Thursday and Friday and was deemed questionable for the season opener. If Russ does play, his mobility may be more limited due to his calf injury, and he will likely end up in the QB2 range.

Keenan Allen expected to play Week 1
Keenan Allen is expected to play Week 1 in versus the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Allen will likely make his Bears debut alongside first-round draft picks Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze. In this revamped and crowded offense, Allen could fall into the WR3/flex range for Week 1.

Ja’Marr Chase now listed as questionable with an illness for Week 1
The Bengals added “illness” to WR Ja’Marr Chase‘s status ahead of Sunday’s season opener against the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
It is a new development for Chase who had already been listed as questionable due to his holdout situation. He is expected to be limited if he does play, so the risk he holds if he is active will need to be understood. Andre Iosivas should be in line for a bigger role either way with Tee Higgins listed as doubtful.
