T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) is out for Week 2.

Yeldon is still dealing wit ha hamstring injury yarn the Jags are not going to play him until he’s 100%, with Leonard Fournette and Chris Ivory capable of holding things down. Look for them to combine for 30+ carries against Tennessee today.

Markus Wheaton (finger) is inactive for Week 2.

Wheaton was a limited participant in practice all week, but he’s not quite ready to come back from his broken finger. We would think Week 3 against the Steelers is a strong possibility. The Bears could use him, as they’re thin at receiver after the injuries to Cameron Meredith and Kevin White.

Carson Wentz throws for over 300 yards for second straight game.

The second-year quarterback was 25/46 for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. Wentz also added four carries for 55 yards and was sacked six times by Kansas City. Right now, the Eagles have a huge pass/run mis-balance, which is leading to a lot of opportunities through the air for Wentz. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said again after the game that they should have more balance in the offense, but he’s said that multiple times throughout his year-plus as the head coach and things haven’t changed. With Wentz getting this much volume to make plays, he’s looking like a solid starting option each week. He does have a difficult matchup next Sunday against the Giants, though.

Chester Rogers (hamstring) is inactive against the Cardinals.

The second-year receiver practiced some this week, so he’s getting close to a return. Week 3 is is certainly possible. Kamar Aiken will be the third receiver behind T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief again.

Sam Bradford (knee) is inactive today against the Steelers.

The Vikings quarterback warmed up and threw a couple of soft tosses as shown on NFL Network, and it was very noticeable that he wasn’t moving around well at all—and barely attempted to. Bradford likely wants to play, but the Vikings aren’t going to put him out there if he’s much less than 100% and doesn’t give them the best chance to win or if the training staff doesn’t think he should be out there. It’s really unfortunate with the 29-year-old coming off one of the best games of his career and Minnesota having a difficult game in Pittsburgh. Case Keenum will start for the Vikings with Kyle Sloter backing him up. The skill position players for Minnesota get an obviously downgrade without Bradford, who hopefully will be able to get back to 100% for Week 3 next Sunday against the Buccaneers. There is obviously real concern about his knee, though—especially because it’s the left knee he tore his ACL in consecutive seasons in 2013 and 2014.

Isaiah Crowell rushed 10 times for 37 yards in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore.

Crowell wasn’t expected to have a strong fantasy performance against the Ravens’ elite defense. He is going to continue to see heavy boxes until quarterback DeShone Kizer makes the defense pay or there’s a change at the position. That said, he will hopefully have more carries next week against the Colts. He’s a low-end RB2 for that one.
