Oronde Gadsden is a worthwhile deep-league stash after David Njoku and Charlie Kolar went on IR. He has caught 2 passes on 2 targets in each game, including a red-zone look, but his expanded role remains unproven.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Brock Bowers is reportedly expected to play Week 3 against the Saints after missing the Raiders' last game with a knee injury. It's an encouraging availability update, though practice participation or team confirmation is still needed.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Dallas Goedert reportedly has a sprained MCL and will miss several weeks. Zach Ertz's return to Philadelphia's practice squad makes him the logical stash, but Johnny Mundt's 49 snaps and 3 targets suggest this could remain a committee.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Rico Dowdle is reportedly day-to-day with a toe injury. If he sits, Jaylen Warren is the clear Steelers volume bet after 11 carries, 4 targets and 50 snaps in Week 2, though that workload still points to a committee - not a lock for a bell-cow role.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Zach Bako-Bewele reportedly tore his patellar tendon Sunday and will miss the season, with another surgery and a long rehab ahead. Green Bay loses its best offensive lineman, a meaningful downgrade for the Packers' run game and Jordan Love's protection.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Jaxson Dart's knee injury is reportedly worse than first thought, with season-ending surgery now a possibility after further testing. That's a major downgrade from the initial MCL-sprain outlook; his timeline remains unresolved.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Washington is hopeful Jayden Daniels can avoid injured reserve, but his outlook remains unsettled. A placement would sideline him for at least four games, making this a meaningful availability swing rather than routine injury noise.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol. Case Keenum would start if Bagent doesn't clear in time, assuming Caleb Williams can't play.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Emanuel Wilson is a worthwhile deep-league stash after 21 carries, 92 yards and 7 red-zone carries in Week 2. He outsnapped Jadarian Price, but Price's shoulder issue is reportedly minor and Zach Charbonnet's return could quickly muddy this backfield.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

@JFowlerESPN 27 routes on 32 dropbacks in Week 2. The passing-game role is massive regardless of the box score. If he stays healthy this is a top-5 TE ceiling.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

@SuperrNova38 The carries were literally 12 to 12 tonight. Kyren led snaps 55% to 45% but Corum had 92 rushing yards on his half. This is a real committee!

And, notably - Corum doesn't have the most fumbles of any active RB in the NFL.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

@HaydenWinks The scariest part is the pre-existing labrum tear. Each time it happens, it becomes easier to reoccur.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

@JoeOrrico Jonah Coleman put up 4.6 YPC AFTER CONTACT in college, third among all RBs, with a 35% missed tackle rate. If that Denver backfield opens up touches, he is an immediate problem.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Will Levis is reportedly signing with the Jets' practice squad. For fantasy, this is a roster move rather than a meaningful starting-QB change unless his role grows.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

If Puka Nacua sits, Terrance Ferguson is the Rams' intriguing volume bet: he saw 9 targets (30% share) in Week 2 after 1 in Week 1. That's a real passing-game signal, but one spike in usage doesn't establish a weekly floor.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

If J.K. Dobbins sits, Jonah Coleman is the best Denver backfield bet: he handled 10 carries, 3 targets and 3 red-zone carries in Week 2. That's a real volume path, but 25 snaps (40%) points to a committee - not a locked-in bell cow.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

If Jonathon Brooks misses time, Chuba Hubbard is the clear Panthers backfield bet: he has played 65%+ of snaps in both games and handled 22 carries plus 5 targets. That supports a volume bump, not a guaranteed bell-cow role.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

Tucker Kraft reportedly ran a route on 27 of Green Bay's 32 dropbacks in Week 2. That passing-game involvement is more meaningful than his box score alone, but one game is a role signal - not proof of a weekly target floor.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

If Tucker Kraft is pulled into offensive-line duty, Jonnu Smith is the Packers TE stash: he played 32 snaps and saw 3 targets in Week 1. That is a plausible route-volume bump, not proof he replaces Kraft's receiving role.

[FantasySquawk @FantasySquawk]

If Malik Nabers misses time after reportedly dislocating his shoulder, Darnell Mooney is a cautious volume dart: he played 57% of Week 1 snaps but saw only 2 targets. That's opportunity, not a proven Nabers replacement.
