Fantasy Football Week 2 Injury Updates Including Xavier Worthy And Drake London
In this story:
If you are not paying attention to our weekly injury report, then what are you doing? Football is a violent game, and players get hurt. Even if a player is active, any lingering injury will limit his effectiveness. That makes is extremely vital to be aware of all relevant injuries applicable to both your fantasy assets, and their depth chart counterparts. These are players to look into ahead of Week 2.
QUARTERBACKS
Brock Purdy - Luckily for fantasy managers, quarterbacks remain quite healthy this week. Brock Purdy is the only notable injury. His injury is with his non-throwing shoulder and new reports state that Brock Purdy will miss 2-5 weeks, thus elevating Mac Jones to the starting role.

RUNNING BACKS
Quinshon Judkins* - This is not an injury, but a notable start/sit decision. Will he play Week 2? Reports suggest that Quinshon Judkins will make his NFL debut this Sunday, but a fantasy football sit as his playing-time should be very limited.

Roschon Johnson - He looks to play in Week 2 dealing with a foot injury. He is not startable in fantasy football, but is handcuff value.
Will Shipley - Working with a rib injury, he is very likely to be out a little while. Boost to Tank Bigsby right off the bat. Bigsby is not startable this week, but a great handcuff stash.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Xavier Worthy - In a collision with Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy dislocated his shoulder. As is common with dislocations, Worthy will not require surgery (although should get it in the offseason). Xavier Worthy is OUT Week 2. He is expected to play Week 3.
Drake London - Reports just came out that Drake London will play Week 2. This is huge for fantasy football managers.

Christian Kirk - He is not yet ready to return from his hamstring injury. He will remain OUT in Week 2.
TIGHT ENDS
George Kittle - This is a massive blow to fantasy managers, as Kittle will miss at least four games on the IR. He is known for being injury prone with a vast history of soft-tissue injuries. Boost to Jauan Jennings (If Active), Ricky Pearsall, and Christian McCaffrey.
