Week 2 Injury/Depth Chart Report

I'm going to organize this different this year.   Last yeah I grouped it by position, but then I have to go through each team for each position which I feel is inefficient.  This year, I will group them by teams (which will be sorted alphabetically by city), which is probably easier for the readers when they want to look for a specific player.

*update* I have updated this through Friday.

Arizona Cardinals - Anquan Boldin feels better this week.  He says he's still not quite 100%, but he's close.  Of greater concern is Kurt Warner's performance, but I would start Boldin this week as a WR2/3.  Understand there's a slight risk starting him when he's not 100%, but I don't think you can bench him this week as he'll play more.  Steve Breaston aggravated his MCL sprain and should not be used this week.

Atlanta Falcons - None.

Baltimore Ravens - None.

Buffalo Bills - Marshawn Lynch is suspended through week 3, and the impressive Fred Jackson will start in his place.

Carolina Panthers - Jake Delhomme has contracted The Suck and will hope to shake that off in week 2.

Cincinnati Bengals - Keep an eye on Laveraneus Coles.  No injury here, but if he continues to struggle with drops, he's probably going to lose his starting job because the Bengals are deep at WR.  Make him earn his way back into your fantasy lineup in the mean time.

Chicago Bears - Cutler suffered a bruised ego, which might shrink it down to a tolerable level.

Cleveland Browns - James Davis played after his auto accident, but he wasn't effective.  Jamal Lewis will make Davis earn the job after a solid week 1.  Jamal Lewis will start in week 2 with Jerome Harrison behind him.  James Davis might sit out.

Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones suffered a bruised thigh in week 1, but he's fine for week 2.

Denver Broncos - Knowshon Moreno's snaps were limited in week 1, and while I expect him to see more work in week 2, I would not use him as a RB2 until his exact "100% healthy" role is clear.  Brandon Marshall is obviously starting again and playing a full complement of snaps.

Detroit Lions - None.

Green Bay Packers - Greg Jennings supposedly has a minor wrist injury, but it will not cause him to miss week 2.

Houston Texans - Kevin Walter was expected to return in week 2, and put in a full practice earlier in the week, but he had a limited practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable.  This leads some to believe he suffered a setback, so he'll be a GTD on Sunday.

Indianapolis Colts - Anthony Gonzalez is out indefinitely with a knee sprain.  I wouldn't drop him unless the Colts put him on IR...he'll have value when he returns.

Jacksonville Jaguars - None.

Kansas City Chiefs - Matt Cassel reportedly looks better this week, and I'd expect him to start in week 2 barring a setback.  I would not use him as a QB1 yet.

Miami Dolphins - None.

Minnesota Vikings - None.

New England Patriots - Wes Welker is probably going be limited in practice again, but he's going to start in week 2.

New Orleans Saints - Pierre Thomas's week 2 status is completely up in the air currently, so I'll continue to monitor this.  He's been limited all week, and the Saints don't need him with Mike Bell running well.  I'll guess that he will be inactive again, but at any rate, he is not startable in any format.

New York Giants - Hakeem Nicks will miss a couple weeks with his minor foot sprain.  Domenik Hixon and Mario Manningham will pick up additional snaps while Nicks is out with Manningham having higher upside.

New York Jets - None.

Oakland Raiders - Chaz Schilens is expected to be out several more weeks with his foot sprain.  Louis Murphy will continue to start in his place.

Philadelphia Eagles - The signing of Jeff Garcia makes it appear as though Donovan McNabb will miss at least 1 week with his broken ribs.  Philly will probably play coy for a bit, but the signing shows what McNabb's true status is.

Pittsburgh Steelers - Willie Parker blamed his week 1 struggles on a hamstring issue, but says he feels better.  Thanks to a lack of better options on the roster, he'll have to shit the bed some more before losing his starting job.

San Diego Chargers - LaDainian Tomlinson suffered an ankle injury in the 1st quarter, but looked fine running over the rest of the game.  Despite this, LT is out for week 2.  Darren Sproles will start and is a solid RB2 play despite a tough match up against Baltimore.  Michael Bennett will back him up.

San Francisco 49ers - None.

Seattle Seahawks - Julius Jones is clearly the featured RB and can be considered as a RB2 option in the right match ups.

St. Louis Rams - Marc Bulger could lose his job shortly if he doesn't turn things around.  Reports have him scared of the blitz, which is obviously very bad news.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Antonio Bryant is struggling with his surgically repaired knee, and he will miss week 2.  Keep him benched until he proves that he's healthy.

Tennessee Titans - Nate Washington is expected to return and play a full complement of snaps in week 2, but I'd hold off on starting him as a WR until it's clear that Kenny Britt won't cut into his playing time.

Washington Redskins - None.
