Pittman( ankle joint)was a Friday contribute to the injury report, but considering he got in a minimal practice, he still stands a likelihood of wearing on Sunday against the Rams. He's officially "questionable "(as is fellow pass receiver Parris Campbell

, who has an abdomen injury ). Pittman most likely will not remain in several fantasy lineups this week even if he plays, as he might see a lot of Jalen Ramsey. His injury, even if minor, makes him an also less complicated "sit "phone call. If either Pittman or Campbell is out, Zach Pascal as well as Indy's TEs will likely see bumps in targets, yet Pascal could then get the Ramsey therapy, which would ultimately reduce his value. Newbie Mike Strachan would likely additionally see more targets if Pittman and also Campbell are out, however he likewise can't be relied on. Obviously, this would certainly also reduce QB Carson Wentz's value, but Jonathan Taylor and also Nyheim Hines would certainly see even more touches and both be worth using in requirement and also PPR organizations.

Is Jonnu Smith playing Week 2?

Smith (hip) took care of limited methods on Thursday and also Friday, so despite his official "suspicious" classification, it promises he will bet the Jets on Sunday. The Patriots are well-known for noting more gamers than essential as "doubtful," and also it's feasible this is an additional instance of that.

If Smith is active, think about both him and also Seeker Henry low-end TE1 factors to consider. If Smith is out, after that Henry becomes a virtual must-start.

Is Darnell Mooney playing Week 2?

In spite of playing through a "suspicious" classification recently as well as getting in full methods all week, Mooney (back) once more has the "Q" tag in advance of Chicago's Week 2 video game versus the Bengals.

Mooney ended up catching five-of-seven targets for just 26 lawns last week. Nevertheless, the targets were just as crucial as the actual (lack of) manufacturing. It appears Mooney will once more be in a high-volume function, and that need to proceed in a lot more desirable match today. He's a possible flex in PPR organizations, yet if he's out, Marquise Goodwin would certainly get a bump in worth (though he's also questionable due to an ankle joint injury). If one or both are out, TE Cole Kmet, WR Damiere Byrd, as well as Chicago's running backs will all see more targets, with Kmet all of a sudden coming to be a potential TE1.

Is Gabriel Davis playing Week 2?

UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday evening that Davis is expected to play on Sunday.

Davis caught simply two-of-five targets for 40 yards recently, but he did enter the end zone as well as showed why he'll be a boom-or-bust WR3 prospect most video games. He's "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in spite of entering two limited practices to shut the week.

It is difficult to advise playing Davis against a strong protection, however, again, he racked up versus the Steelers, so match might be pointless for a big-play guy like him. Still, if he's not 100 percent, give him one more week on your bench. If he is inactive, Cole Beasley as well as Emmanuel Sanders are both in play as WR3s, as they should remain to see consistent targets behind Stefon Diggs.

Is Jamison Crowder playing Week 2?

Crowder missed out on recently's video game due to COVID methods, as well as this week he's "suspicious" as a result of a groin injury. He did get in minimal practices on Thursday as well as Friday, so it seems likely he makes his debut against the Patriots.

Given the competition and also the opportunity Crowder is less than 100 percent, it's ideal to keep him on your bench (or waiver cable) until we see him in action. The Jets have a lot of comparable receivers, and also it was clear recently that Corey Davis is the alpha in the WR space now. If Crowder is out, after that either Denzel Mims or Elijah Moore will certainly see even more targets, however they're not legitimate dream alternatives either.
