Ray-Ray McCloud (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 2.

The rookie receiver was able to get up to a limited practice participation for the first time since the start of the regular season, but it might not be enough to play in his first NFL game. We’ll know if he’s active or inactive by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) was a full participant in practice.

Jackson appears to have cleared concussion protocol, and the full practice indicates his shoulder is feeling good. The Bucs face the Eagles at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, so we’ll know his official game status that morning. He’s probably on the good side of 50/50 for the game.

Marlon Mack (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2.

Mack was able to get in a full practice for the first time since the summer, so he seems like he’s ready to go after missing one game. Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thought Mack looked good in practice, adding that he’d be ready to use him if he’s active for the game. Indianapolis is going with a committee backfield, but Mack is a good bet to step right into the lead role this Sunday if he’s on the field. Check back in at 11:30 AM ET on Sunday to see if Mack is active or inactive.

Travis Benjamin (foot) is officially questionable for Week 2.

Benjamin didn’t practice all week and is reportedly in a walking boot, so it’s not looking promising for Sunday. The Chargers play in the early games, so we’ll know his status by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

9/14/18 - 02:24 PM ET

The Dolphins have listed DeVante Parker (finger) as questionable for Week 2.

Parker was a full participant in practice each of the last two days, so we assumed he’d be ready to go against the Jets. However, it’s no guarantee. The good news is actives and inactives for the game will be out by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. Check back in then if you plan on putting Parker in your fantasy lineup.

Shelton Gibson (knee) is questionable for Week 2.

The second-year receiver has a legit shot to play against the Buccaneers, and he’s probably a true game-time decision. This has more real-life implications than fantasy implications, as Gibson shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups at less than 100%.

9/14/18 - 02:19 PM ET

Mike Vrabel said he expects both Marcus Mariota and Blaine Gabbert to play in Week 2.

Mariota is dealing with an elbow injury that forced him out of Week 1’s game against the Dolphins, and Vrabel says he’s still begin evaluated. However, the fact that Vrabel thinks both Mariota and Gabbert will play on Sunday is a bit of a surprise. This leads us to believe that Mariota is clearly not expected to be 100%, as the Titans wouldn’t have their franchise quarterback splitting time otherwise. Perhaps Mariota will come out hot on Sunday and show that he can play the entire game at a high level, but he’s way too risky to insert into fantasy lineups right now.
