We are supplying information on the latest and most important injuries across the NFL and letting you know how it could affect your fantasy football team.

Quarterbacks

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was a full participant in practice.

The Spin: He’s going to start against the L.A. Rams. Put him in your starting lineup as usual.

Running Backs

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is listed as doubtful for the game.

The Spin: In short, he’s not going to play. If you have Spencer Ware plug him in your starting lineups.

Jaguars RB Chris Ivory is listed as out for Sunday.

The Spin: T.J. Yeldon has an opportunity for 20+ touches in a good matchup against the Chargers on Sunday.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart is listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice.

The Spin: Stewart should be good to go despite the questionable tag. He didn’t appear to suffer an injury in Week 1 and he’s also had 10 days to rest.

Wide Receivers

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker was limited in practice and is listed as questionable.

The Spin: Even if he does play, he’s not worth putting in your fantasy lineups. He’s going to have to show he can stay healthy and that he has a role in the offense before you can trust him.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald was a full participant in practice and will start.

The Spin: The coaching staff was more than likely just giving the veteran some rest during the week.

Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas is listed as questionable with a hip injury.

The Spin: Thomas is more likely to play than not. However, re-injury during the game is always a risk. Emmanuel Sanders needs to be in all lineups if you have him. He could lead the team in targets and receptions in a favorable matchup.

Tight Ends

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski was a limited participant in practice.

The Spin: The Patriots will more than likely be hush-hush about his status until Sunday. Don’t be shocked if the Patriots hold him out. Have another TE ready to plug into your lineups.

Eagles TE Zach Ertz did not participate in practice yesterday

The Spin: Ertz is pretty much ruled out. He’s playing on Monday Night Football so you honestly can’t be holding onto any hope if that was your plan. Get another TE in your lineup for Week 2.

DFS Nuggets

The Saints best CB, Delvin Breaux, broke his leg in Week 1 against the Oakland Raiders.

The Spin: Just when you think things couldn’t get worse for the Saints defense, they do. Eli Manning and the company should have themselves a day against the Saints defense.

As expected, the Colts will be without All-Pro CB Vontae Davis just like last week.  However, now CB Patrick Robinson and FS T.J. Green will also miss the game.

The Spin: Emmanuel Sanders should have a solid day against this depleted secondary. It wouldn’t be a surprise if tight end Virgil Green breaks out on Sunday as well.
