J.J. Nelson caught five passes for 43 yards and one touchdown in the Cardinals’ Week 1 loss to Detroit.

Nelson had the best fantasy day out of the Arizona fantasy options thanks to a one-yard score in the fourth quarter. The speedy receiver has a good chance of getting behind the Colts secondary in Week 2, but he’s just a deep league or desperation option behind Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown.

Kevin White (shoulder) exits Bears’ first game.

The third-year receiver is out for the rest of the game. It’s unfortunate, as White has really struggled to stay healthy so far in his career. Hopefully it’s not too serious and he can be ready for Week 2 against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

DeAndre Washington gets five touches in Raiders’ Week 1 win.

The second-year back had three carries for four yards and two receptions for 18 yards. Jalen Richard looks like the primary backup runner behind Marshawn Lynch, but Washington certainly has a role. Neither Richard nor Washington will be a great fantasy option as long as Lynch remains on the field.

The Week 1 Buccaneers vs. Dolphins game will not be played on Sunday in Miami.

The NFL made the announcement that because of the incoming Hurricane Irma expected to directly hit Florida, they need to move the game. It’s obviously the only decision to make, but now it’s unclear if the game will A) be played at a neutral site or B) be re-scheduled to Week 11 when both teams have a bye week. Perhaps moving the game to Friday is another option, but it doesn’t seem to be one that’s being talked about. The NFL will provide another update with their plans “as soon as possible,” and it’s expected to be sometime tonight.

Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 74 yards in the Cardinals’ season opener.

It was a good performance considering the offense’s struggles in a 35-23 loss to Detroit, but fantasy owners were expecting a lot more out of the whole group. Fortunately, Fitzgerald and the offense have a great chance to bounce back next Sunday against the Colts. He’ll likely be a WR1 in both standard and PPR leagues after the Rams torched Indianapolis for 46 points in Week 1.

David Johnson (wrist) is questionable to return in Week 1.

The superstar running back went to the locker room to get the injury checked out. Johnson was in pain after taking a big hit on a long reception, but it’s unclear if he first injured his wrist on that play. Arizona is only up two in the game against Detroit, so they’ll want their best player back out there.

Jalen Richard gets six touches in Week 1.

Richard had five carries for 22 yards and one reception for six yards but did also fumble (it was recovered by Oakland). He and DeAndre Washington will continue working together as change of pace backs, but they probably won’t make a big fantasy impact as long as Marshawn Lynch is healthy.
