The doubtful status of Jalen McMillan is viewed as positive news for the target outlook of Chris Godwin.

Insight pageD'Andre Swift
D'Andre Swift was not listed on the injury report and is confirmed good to go. Ian Hartitz recommends betting the over on 2.5 receptions for D'Andre Swift, citing his preference for pass-catching running backs against zone-heavy defenses.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
Despite an ankle injury, Deebo Samuel is recommended as a must-start for the 49ers offense, which Ian Hartitz describes as looking very strong.
Insight pageDemario Douglas
Demario Douglas led the Patriots' wide receivers with a 79% route participation rate in the most recent game.
Insight pageDrew Lock
Drew Lock is expected to start for the Seahawks in Week 2 while Sam Darnold recovers from a hip injury.
Insight pageEmari Demercado
Ian Hartitz identifies Emari Demercado as the next man up in the Cowboys backfield following Malik Davis's serious hip injury, but advises against overreacting as the team will likely sign additional depth.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
Ian Hartitz reports that Emeka Egbuka is fully expected to be at 100% for the upcoming game following his toe injury; he is also expected to see a positive impact on his target share due to Jalen McMillan's doubtful status.
Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
Ja'Marr Chase is officially cleared and good to go for Week 1 after being removed from the injury report.
Insight pageJack Bech
Jack Bech is expected to see increased usage in 11 personnel packages for the Raiders, as Ian Hartitz notes he is a gritty player who is effective as a run blocker.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
Jahmyr Gibbs is a strong start for Week 1, with Ian Hartitz noting he could see a 90% snap rate. Billy highlights his potential for multiple touchdowns against a Saints defense missing Cameron Jordan, citing Gibbs' explosive ability to score from anywhere.
Insight pageJames Cook
Ian Hartitz advises starting James Cook regardless of injury news, noting that Ty Johnson's potential absence could increase Cook's receiving upside.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
Jeremiah Love is questionable for Week 1 with a limited practice week, though reports suggest he will play. Ian Hartitz labels him a low-end RB2 and expresses concern about potential negative game script if the Cardinals fall behind early.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
Ian Hartitz remains skeptical about Josh Jacobs' availability, projecting a potential 4-6 game suspension due to the NFL's decision to place him on the exempt list, which suggests the league possesses damaging information, despite Jacobs pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges.
Insight pageJuwan Johnson
With Foster Moreau out due to a hamstring injury, Ian Hartitz recommends starting Juwan Johnson, noting he is expected to be involved in the Saints' condensed passing attack.
Insight pageKayshon Boutte
Kayshon Boutte recorded a 60% route participation rate in the Patriots' recent game.
Insight pageKyle Williams
Despite interest in his potential, Ian Hartitz notes that Kyle Williams' route participation (17%) suggests he will not be a fantasy-relevant factor in the Patriots' passing game.
Insight pageMalik Davis
Malik Davis has been ruled out with a serious hip injury that could keep him sidelined for an extended period.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
Despite practicing in full all week, Malik Nabers remains officially questionable for the Sunday night game. Ian Hartitz has downgraded him in rankings behind DJ Moore, Parker Washington, Christian Watson, and Drake London due to the late kickoff and lingering injury uncertainty.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
Ian Hartitz suggests that fantasy managers who own MarShawn Lloyd should be nervous given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Josh Jacobs' status and potential suspension.

Ian Hartitz confirms Patrick Mahomes is active and good to go for Monday Night Football, noting that Mahomes has stated he is done discussing his injury.
Insight pageRachaad White
Rachaad White was not listed on the injury report all week and is confirmed good to go for Week 1.
