Fantasy News

Tyler Eifert is uncertain for Sunday against the Packers, according to Adam Schefter.

This is not good news at all, as Eifert is battling both back and knee injuries according to Schefter. Eifert dealt with back issues for most of last season, so anything related to that is troublesome. Consider him doubtful for at least Week 3, and maybe beyond.

George Kittle catches both targets in Week 2.

The rookie tight end picked up 13 yards on his two receptions. He’ll look to do more damage on Thursday against the Rams, but he’s not a good fantasy option quite yet.

DeMarco Murray is day-to-day with hamstring tightness.

Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said Murray felt tightness during the game yesterday so they held him out. According to Jim Wyatt of the team’s official website, Mularkey also said he feels Murray is still the starter. Either way, Derrick Henry is a complete beast of a runner and will see a good amount of carries this season. Despite talk of Murray being a workhorse again this season, that just simply might not happen because Henry is too good to keep off the field for long periods of time. It’s a tough situation, especially with Murray and the Titans playing Seattle this week (though they were just gashed by Carlos Hyde and the 49ers on the ground yesterday).

Chris Thompson scores twice in Sunday’s 27-20 win.

Thompson rushed three times for 77 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown and a seven-yard touchdown. The receiving back also caught three passes for 29 yards, and he could have scored another long touchdown if he didn’t drop a pass over the middle. Thompson could be in for a larger role if Rob Kelley (ribs) misses time, and he’s a must own in PPR leagues. Washington hosts Oakland next Sunday night.

Randall Cobb (shoulder) is day-to-day.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Cobb had an MRI today and his injury is “nothing major.” It’s great news for both Cobb and the Packers, as he’s an important part of their offense. There’s still no word on Jordy Nelson’s quad injury, so hopefully he’s also OK. Cobb may be on the injury report, but expect him to be out there against the Bengals on Sunday.

Marquise Goodwin gets six targets in Week 2.

Goodwin had the same stats as teammate Pierre Garcon against the Seahawks: three receptions for 26 yards. He did also have a drop where he got open on Richard Sherman for a potential first done (or maybe even touchdown, with his speed). It’s the second straight week with a key drop for Goodwin, but he is locked in as San Fran’s number two receiver.

Andrew Luck (shoulder) is officially out for Week 3.

After a report from FOX’s Jay Glazer that Luck is behind schedule in his rehab and will need a couple weeks of practice still, it’s not surprise they’re ruling the quarterback out this early. Luck should be considered less than 50/50 for Week 4. Jacoby Brissett will start this Sunday against the Browns.
